❤️ Please Help Me Create Stability for My Two Babies ❤️

Hello, my name is Shauna. I never imagined I’d be in this position, but life took an unexpected turn. I’m a soon-to-be single mom to two beautiful children, my 3-month-old baby boy and my little girl who turns two in January. They are my entire world, and everything I do is for them.

Recently, I was served with divorce papers. At the same time, their father informed me that he will no longer be contributing to our household expenses including rent,even though we are still locked into a lease Overnight, I went from having a co-provider to being completely responsible for everything on my own.

Right now, I can only work on the days he is available to watch the kids (Saturday, Sunday, Monday), which brings in about $2,000 a month—far below what I need to keep a roof over our heads. Our rent alone is $3,000, and with utilities, it’s about $3,200. Childcare is currently out of reach financially, and I am also actively searching for a job I can do during the few hours I don’t have the kids.

I’ve been looking for a more affordable place to live, but moving requires deposits, 1st and last rents, moving costs and savings I simply don’t have right now. On top of that, I will need to hire a divorce and custody attorney to protect myself and my children.

I am motivated, determined, and fully committed to building a stable life for us. Asking for help is not easy for me, but I also know when it’s necessary. I am trying to prevent us from facing eviction or homelessness while I work to rebuild.

If you are able to donate, even a few dollars,
it would mean more to me than I can express. Every contribution goes directly toward rent, utilities, moving costs, legal fees, and basic necessities for my babies as I navigate this sudden transition.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support, kindness, or prayers you can offer. ❤️
