<div><strong>Help a Devoted Mother Avoid Eviction and Keep Her Son Stable for High School</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hello, my name is Kristine Smith, and I’m humbly asking for your help during one of the hardest moments of my life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m a 57-year-old divorced mother of two — a 14-year-old son preparing to start high school this fall, and a 25-year-old daughter who works part-time while pursuing her goals. We live in Houston, Texas, and we’re now at risk of losing our home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Due to extended unemployment, I’ve fallen behind on rent. I currently owe $4,189.78, and legal action has begun — including attorney’s fees, court costs, and additional interest. Without your support, my family could face eviction within weeks.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve spent over two decades working in Human Resources as a Director, helping others find stability and employment. I’ve always been a fighter — mentoring, leading, and giving back whenever I could. But right now, despite actively applying for jobs every day, I haven’t yet been able to secure work in this challenging Houston job market.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’ve already downsized and stretched every dollar. But at this point, I need a community behind me. I’m not looking for handouts — I’m asking for a hand up to keep my son safe, sheltered, and focused as he begins a critical chapter of his education.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your donation — no matter the size — will help cover:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Rent owed: $4,189.78

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Legal fees/court costs: estimated $600+

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Late fees &amp; interest: accruing weekly

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’ve ever been between jobs, worried about your family’s future, or raised kids through tough times, you know how overwhelming this can feel.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you can’t give, please consider sharing this with someone who can.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With all my heart — thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us hold on to home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>Kristine
