Hey, my name's Kayla. I'm drowning in my bills and I can't catch up. I have a son who will be 18 in June and he’s about to be finished with high school and go into welding. I have a daughter who will be 14 here in a few days. I am doing this all on my own. I also took on custody of my son's half-brother in August 2025. It was unexpected but a blessing in my life and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I was not letting my son’s brother go into the foster system. I couldn’t let that happen. Now he is my world and I love him just like my own and I want to give him a life he deserves.

I have over came so much anxiety, depression, OCD, from the point of where I wouldn’t leave my apartment. I got my associates degree in criminal justice. I finally got off government housing. I thought my life was improving. It has improved.. tremendously besides financially being drained.

I work full-time and it's still not enough. I know everyone is having it rough nowadays, but anything would be appreciated, down to a dollar or a prayer. I do not have any other options right now but to reach out and ask for help. I just need to be caught up so I can finally breathe and not have to worry which bill not to pay to pay another one, and then worry about that one and repeat that cycle.

One day my storm will be over.
