I am a mother of two living in Boston, facing severe housing instability after the tragic loss of my children’s father. Our lives changed overnight, and since then, we have struggled to keep a roof over our heads. Despite securing rental assistance months ago, bureaucratic failures and unresolved safety issues have put my family at risk of losing our home. We have endured unsafe conditions, emotional harm, and the long delays that come with systems meant to help. I have done everything possible—filing complaints, seeking support, and launching outreach—yet we are now facing eviction unless immediate help arrives.

My children, both deeply affected by the loss of their father, are coping with trauma and the fear that comes with living in an unsafe environment. The instability has forced my oldest to put future plans on hold, while my youngest longs for the comfort and security we once had. We are a family that has always tried to figure things out on our own, but the constant setbacks and disappointments have made it hard to keep going. For our safety, we are keeping our identities private, as the circumstances around our loss remain unresolved.

This fundraiser will go directly toward rent relief and basic needs to protect our home. Every donation helps us breathe a little easier and stay together through this fight. I am advocating not just for my family, but for countless others enduring housing insecurity in silence. I am deeply grateful for any support, and thank you for standing with us.
