Hi everyone, this is Rachel.

This is really hard for me to write, but we’re in a place where we need to ask for help. Over the summer, Bryan was unemployed for four months, and even though he started a new job, it’s been difficult getting caught back up. I’ve been working as much as I can, but I lost a lot of hours due to an injury and some mental health struggles. I’m doing much better now, but the lost income has made things tight.

Right now, we’re trying to cover our rent for November and December, which comes to a total of about $4,000. On top of everything, both Bryan and I are currently down with the flu and unable to work, which has made our situation even harder.

All of our family is in Colorado, and we usually travel home for the holidays, but this year we’re just hoping to get stable again. We’re very active in our church community, and our hope is that once we get through this season, we’ll be able to pay it forward and bless someone else in need, just as we’re asking for help now.

If you’re able to give or even share, it means more than we can express. Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during this difficult time.
