Help Coco and her family stay housed

Donation protected
Hey everyone, Vince here once again fundraising for Coco. As a lot of you probably know, I've been fundraising off and on for Coco and her family for a few years now. Coco is a mother of two children, 11-year-old Aliah and 1-year-old King; she is also a diabetic who is in recovery, and she has been struggling with a myriad of health problems. Ever since pandemic aid ended in 2021, Coco has been struggling both with mental/physical health and financial stability/employment. After dealing with an eviction last year, Coco and her family were able to move into an apartment with the help of a previous gofundme.

Things seemed to be stabilizing for awhile; she has a job in caregiving that has been going really well (she is actually going to be starting a managing position at the end of July!). But the amount she makes at her job is not a living wage. They are a single-income home and she is back in a scary financial situation. Previously, I was running a gfm to help her take care of a financial hold that was stopping her from going back to school in the hopes that she could return to her studies this summer/fall. But now she is back in a precarious financial situation and needs much more urgent help to avoid eviction. Here is a breakdown of what I am hoping to fundraise:

Back rent + one month's rent: $2800
Diapers: $150
Energy: $71 back owed + $100 for next month's
Gas: $100

Anything raised in excess of these immediate needs will go toward badly-needed car repairs; Coco relies on her car to get back and forth to her job.

As I've said in the last few gfms I've made, this feels like the worst time in history to be trying to fundraise. There is so, so much need, everyone is broke, the world feels more bleak every day, and it's crazy-making to have to come back to fundraising again and again just to help my friend keep housing for herself and her family. If you are able to spare anything, please consider donating and please share. Endless thank yous you everyone who has ever donated, shared, or given kindness to me and Coco during all of this, it means so much.
