Support a Mother of Four in Crisis

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Brad, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my daughter and her children during an incredibly difficult time. After ten years of marriage, my daughter is now facing an unexpected and painful divorce. Just two months after the birth of their third child, her husband said he wanted a divorce.  With little notice, she was left to care for their three young children — including a teenage son from a previous relationship — without any financial support. She has been a full-time mom throughout their marriage, and is now starting the daunting process of finding employment while also managing the household and caring for the kids. I helped her take the first legal steps toward securing a more stable future, but this journey has already brought a heavy financial burden. To make matters more difficult, her husband withdrew the entire balance from their joint account, leaving her with no immediate resources to cover mortgage, groceries, or even basic necessities. We’re doing all we can to help, but we simply can’t do it alone. Any support you can offer — whether it’s a donation, a share, or even just kind words — would mean the world to our family as we work toward rebuilding and healing. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. With gratitude, Brad

Editing to add an update:  her A/C was fortunately fixed and their summer is looking much cooler already!  Also, she and her husband are still proceeding with the divorce, and the money is back in the account and they are doing their best to work together.  And she is still a mother to a new baby, as well as three other beautiful children, we are reaching out with gratitude to help her get on her feet.  Thank you again.
