Hi, my name is Rachel Iris Carrington. Three years ago, I made the difficult decision to leave a marriage that was no longer safe. Since then, I’ve worked hard to rebuild my life from the ground up with little to no support (no familial support), navigating mental health challenges, undiagnosed disabilities, and the difficulty of maintaining employment because of these conditions.

While I’ve managed to create a nurturing environment for my children and myself, and I do receive food assistance, I’m currently facing housing insecurity. My landlady, who is also a single mother, has been incredibly supportive, and she’s willing to let us stay if I can catch up on what I owe in rent. Losing this home would mean losing the community and support system that has become essential to our well-being.

Your support will help us stay in our home and maintain the stability my children and I so desperately need. Even the smallest contribution or a simple share can make a huge difference.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

With gratitude,

Rachel Iris
