Hi, my name is Emma, and I’m a mother of four young children. We recently had to flee a very serious domestic violence situation for our safety. There is currently a pending Personal Protection Order (PPO), and we are doing everything we can to rebuild our lives in peace. Thankfully, we now have stable shelter, but we had to leave everything behind. We are starting over with nothing and are in urgent need of help with food, clothing, and other basic essentials for my kids. This has been an incredibly hard time, but I’m doing everything I can to keep my children safe, healthy, and supported. Any help—no matter how small—would mean the world to us right now. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Update: We're Almost Set Up – Thank You!

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped us so far. Because of your generosity, we’ve been able to get food and clothing for the kids, and that has made a world of difference.

The PPO has officially been approved, and we’re finally starting to feel a sense of safety and stability again.

We’re now working on getting two sets of bunk beds and four mattresses so all the kids have a place to sleep of their own. That’s our next big goal.

If anyone feels called to help, even a small amount would go a long way toward gas for important appointments and legal fees related to child custody. We’re so close to being fully set up, and every bit of support means more than we can say.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us.
