Hi, my name is Cassie, and I’m reaching out because I’ve recently experienced something that has completely shaken me.

Someone I thought was my best friend — someone I trusted enough to be around my son — robbed me while I was asleep. He snuck into my room and stole over $3,000 right out from under me. That money was what I needed to cover rent, bills, and keep life stable for my kids and me.

As if that wasn’t enough, I just received a 3-day notice on Friday. Losing that money has put me behind on rent, and now I’m fighting to keep our home. It’s overwhelming to process being betrayed by someone I cared about, and at the same time, facing the possibility of losing the place where my kids feel safe.

I’m doing everything I can to stay strong, stay hopeful, and rebuild from this. Every dollar raised will go toward paying the rent and recovering what was stolen — helping us avoid losing our home and get back on track.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this or sending a kind word our way. Even small gestures make a difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping me and my family find our footing again after such a painful setback.

Cassie Siegel
