Hi, my name is Karen, and I’m reaching out for help during an incredibly challenging time.

2025 has been one storm after another for my family — legal battles, a wrongful termination, and unexpected expenses that have left us struggling to stay afloat. Between fighting retaliation from my former employer, navigating unemployment, and keeping things stable for my kids, it’s felt like swimming against the current.

Right now, I’m facing two urgent needs:

Rent — We’re behind and need to cover one to two months to keep our home safe and secure.

Jeep repairs — Our Jeep is down, and without it, daily life — school, appointments, work — has become overwhelming.

I’ve set a goal of $5,000, which would give us enough breathing room to catch up, fix the Jeep, and stabilize while I continue fighting the bigger battles ahead. Truly, any amount helps — even small donations make a huge difference.

If you aren’t able to contribute, sharing this page would mean the world to us. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us keep moving forward.
