A Fresh Start for Me & My Baby After Losing Our Home

Hi, my name is Keniaha and I’m a 27-year-old single mom to my beautiful 3-year-old daughter, Kamryn. I never imagined I’d be writing something like this, but on Easter Sunday morning, our lives changed forever.

We woke up to a fire tearing through our home in Atlanta. A stranger passing by saw the flames and screamed to wake us up. In those terrifying moments, I had to make the hardest decision of my life—I threw my baby girl out of a second-story window to save her. Thank God, the stranger caught her. Seconds later, I had to jump myself.

We made it out with our lives—but everything else was destroyed.

The apartment, our clothes, our belongings, my car, and even my work laptop—gone. Because of costs, I didn’t have renter’s insurance, and I’m still working to figure out responsibility with my landlord. While the Red Cross has kindly provided us with a temporary hotel stay, we don’t know what comes next.

Right now, I’m trying to stay strong for Kamryn and rebuild from scratch.

I’m asking for your help to raise $20,000 so we can get back on our feet. These funds will go toward:

    •    Clothes and essentials (Kamryn wears 4T and size 7 in shoes)

    •    A new laptop so I can return to work

    •    Food and short-term living costs

    •    A reliable car

    •    A deposit for a new, safe place to live

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through, but I’m grateful we’re still here. I’m not giving up—I’m just asking for a little support to help us start again.

If you feel led to donate or even just share this with others, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With love,

Keniaha
