Amanda's Hope (!)

Hello,
This campain is created to help me transform my life for myself and my daughter and turn something very difficult into something amazingly beautiful.

I have had an incredible journey in the last four years: a seperation with my daughter's father, a foreclosure, loss of family, a car accident and resulting loss of job (and reliable vehicle!), unemployment, and total loss of savings.

But, what I have found amidst it all has been truly beautiful: a work position I love, a strong network of social media support, and great big waves of personal and physical healing, and not to mention being "forced" to develop my skill as an artist and writer, and most importantly raising a kid who truly amazes me with her energy, joy, and laughter. (OMG, I love her!)

I've made it through some intense waters and through the darkest times, I've found hope wherever I could.

Right now, it's here.

I have brought us through the darkest times, but the work isn't done.
Right now, I'm engaged in an intense second round of family court, and urgently need to cover the legal fees.

Please. I have thrown everything I have into getting us this far and keeping us together- and I won't be able to continue without your help.

I have single-handely faced down poverty- times when I laid awake wondering if next month we would homeless, or able to eat- and I really don't want to go there again. I am determined to transform this massive ick into something of beauty. I'm so hopeful, and know that with your help, I can do just that!

I have been truly blessed by so much, but the greast gift has been being able to be a momma to this AMAZING girl.
Please, if you are called to, your donation would mean the world to me.
Thank you SO much!

Much love,
Amanda
