Hi, my name is Sway, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for my family. A devastating flash flood tore through our neighborhood and took everything from us — our home, our security, our peace.

Just a month ago, we finally moved into our first family home. We poured every ounce of hope, every dollar of savings, and every dream we had into that house. It wasn’t just four walls — it was a fresh start. A place we believed we could finally settle down, grow roots, and build a future.

We never expected it to be ripped away from us so quickly.

The flood came in fast and without warning. In just a few hours, our entire downstairs was underwater. Everything was destroyed. We had no flood insurance — something we were told we wouldn’t need. We watched helplessly as the life we worked so hard to build was washed away.

Now we’re living in a cheap hotel, trying to piece together what little we have left. We’re struggling just to keep a roof over our heads, to find clean clothes, to eat a full meal. The emotional toll has been just as brutal — it’s hard to sleep, hard to think, hard to believe this is real.

This isn’t just a loss of a home. It’s a loss of stability. A loss of safety. A loss of everything we knew.

We never imagined we’d be in a position where we’d have to ask for help like this. But we’re desperate. That’s why I created this GoFundMe — to ask for any kindness, support, or generosity you can spare.

Your help will go directly toward:

Emergency shelter and temporary housing

Food, clothing, and daily essentials

Replacing basic furniture and appliances

Saving for a safe place to live again

Even the smallest donation or simply sharing this page can make a life-changing difference for us. We are doing our best to stay strong, to hold onto hope, and to believe that people still care — even when everything feels lost.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read this, for caring, and for lifting us up when we need it most.

With love and gratitude,

Sway & Family
