Today I’m asking our community to show up for someone who has spent her life showing up for others.

My partner’s friend and beloved coworker is a CNA — the kind of person who does the hard work most people never see. She cares for the elderly with patience, dignity, and genuine love. She’s also a single mother with a -year-old and a newborn, and she is completely alone. Her mother passed away during COVID. There’s no family safety net. No one to fall back on. It’s just her — and her babies.

And right now, she is fighting to keep a roof over their heads.

During maternity leave, she wasn’t receiving her full paycheck — only a portion — while rent, utilities, groceries, and everything else stayed the same (and honestly, got worse). She fell behind and started the eviction process. She came back to work and tried to fight her way back to stability, but she also experienced a severe case of postpartum depression and needed additional time to recover.

And then comes the part that makes my stomach turn: she was terminated due to attendance.

After everything she poured into caring for others — pregnant, postpartum, still showing up — she was thrown away when she needed compassion the most.

I need to say this plainly: this is not how you treat a healthcare worker.

This is not how you treat a mother.

This is not how you treat a human being.

Here’s where things stand right now:

• She owes $2,500 to reverse her eviction.

• She has $1,600 in hand and is awaiting her final paycheck/PTO payout.

• The heartbreaking part is that even if she empties her account to pay the back amount, rent is due again on the 1st, and she’ll have nothing left for food, utilities, or essentials for her children.

So yes — she can pay the back balance, but she’ll immediately be in crisis again. She has another job lined up, but you can’t focus on rebuilding your life when you don’t even know if you’ll have a home next week.

And I’m going to be honest: today is her birthday.

She should be holding her babies and feeling safe — not carrying the weight of the world and fearing homelessness.

Now, I’m asking for help — and I want to be crystal clear:

We are not asking you to give money to me.

We can connect you directly to the landlord/leasing office so you can pay toward the balance directly if you prefer.

If you’d rather help with food/diapers/formula, we can arrange a drop-off and provide exactly what’s needed.

Ways you can help right now:

- Help bridge the gap so she can cover the eviction balance and still survive into next month

- Food support (groceries, pantry items)

- Diapers/formula/baby essentials

- Church benevolence funds or emergency assistance

- Connections to local resources that actually move fast

And here’s the part I can’t stay quiet about:

As Christians, God calls us to be stewards of what He has entrusted to us. We are meant to be the hands, the feet, and the heart of Christ in a world that can be cold and unforgiving. Scripture is clear that we are to care for the vulnerable — and women and children are specifically on the heart of God.

This is a mother and her children who need a miracle.

And sometimes a miracle looks like a community stepping in with groceries, a rent payment, a phone call, or a church saying, “We’ve got you.”

If you can help, please message me. If you can’t give, please share this — sharing helps more than people realize.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And thank you for being the kind of community that refuses to let a mother and her babies be pushed out like they don’t matter.

God bless.
