I’m a mom and a local IHOP worker in Dalton and Calhoun, GA, doing my best to provide for my family. Right now, I’m facing a really tough time—I'm short on rent, behind on bills, and struggling with debt. With my baby on the way, the stress of possibly being evicted is overwhelming, and I’m reaching out for help because I want to make sure my child has a safe and comfortable place to come home to.

I’ve always worked hard to support myself and my family, but lately, it feels like no matter how much I do, I just can’t keep up. The funds from this fundraiser will go directly toward catching up on this month’s rent, paying overdue bills, and saving for my soon-to-be-born child. Every bit of support will help me get back on my feet and give my baby the start they deserve.

I hope that by sharing my story, I can find kindness and understanding rather than judgment. It’s not easy to ask for help, but I know that even a small contribution can make a big difference. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer. It truly means the world to me and my family.
