Emergency Fund for Emily and Ezra: Rent, Phone, Hope

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Philip Mariano, and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of someone I love dearly—Emily, a devoted single mom doing her best to care for her little boy, Ezra.

Right now, Emily is in a critical situation. She’s days away from losing phone service—which would mean no way to communicate about her son. Her car insurance is also at risk of being canceled, and she’s behind on rent for both June and July.

She’s doing everything she can, but the weight is too heavy to carry alone. Emily doesn’t have support from her family. Her mom is tapped out financially and emotionally, and her dad is unable to help due to addiction. She feels completely helpless.

I’m asking for help to raise $2,300 to cover:
• $1,000 to catch up on June’s overdue rent
• $1,300 for July, due next week

Every dollar matters. Every share helps. And every prayer is deeply appreciated.

If you’ve ever been in a tight spot, you know how scary it is to feel like you’re failing the people you love most. Let’s come together to remind Emily she’s not alone—that people do care.

“Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way, you fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2

Thank you for being part of her miracle.
