From Heartache 2 Hope: Support a Mother’s Journey to Reunite

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Supporters,

My name is Atheena, and I am a single mother facing extraordinary challenges as I strive to reunite and provide for my family. Your support can make a profound difference in our lives during this critical time.

Our Current Situation:
   •   Reuniting with My Son: I am diligently working to regain custody of my son from Child Protective Services (CPS). To meet their requirements, I must secure stable housing and reliable transportation by February. I have managed to arrange for an apartment, ensuring a safe and nurturing home for us.
   •   Supporting My Daughter and Granddaughter: My 17-year-old daughter recently endured the heartbreaking loss of her father. She is also the mother of my precious one-year-old granddaughter. As a family, we are committed to supporting each other through these difficult times, and I am dedicated to providing for their emotional and physical well-being.
   •   Need for a Vehicle: To fulfill CPS’s conditions and effectively care for my family, I urgently require a dependable vehicle. This will enable me to transport my son to and from school, attend medical appointments, support my daughter and granddaughter, and access employment opportunities to sustain our household.

Family Hardship:

My mother, who was my primary source of support, recently endured a severe car accident, resulting in a broken hip and the total loss of her new car. Her recovery involved two months in the hospital and a nursing home. Tragically, during this time, her scheduled lung cancer surgery was canceled, and the cancer has now progressed to stage 4. Doctors have given her a prognosis of 6 months to a year. Her declining health has limited her ability to assist us during this critical period.

How You Can Help:

I am reaching out to our community for assistance in raising funds to purchase an affordable, reliable vehicle. Your generous contributions will directly impact our ability to meet CPS requirements, reunite our family, and provide my children and granddaughter with the stability and care they deserve.

Ways to Support:
   •   Donate: Any amount, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal. Your support is deeply appreciated.
   •   Share: Please share our story with your network to help us reach others who may be willing to assist.
   •   Encouragement: Your words of support and encouragement mean the world to us during this challenging time.

I am committed to providing a loving and stable environment for my family. With your help, I can overcome these obstacles and reunite our family. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering a contribution to our cause.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Atheena
