Help a single mom get housing for her 6 kids
Donation protected
This is an opportunity to help Martina Lauren, single mom of six kids, in need of secure housing.
In March, Martina’s father of her twin boys unexpectedly passed away. They were friends since middle school, and he was their emotional and financial support. He meant so much to their family and they are now trying to navigate this new life without him.
On top of grieving this tremendous loss and caring for her children, she was in the process of trying to leave a current verbally abusive and toxic relationship. When the situation escalated, it became evident she needed to quickly make the decision to leave the relationship even though this meant she’d lose their housing. She made the brave decision to leave for her children although she knew it wouldn’t be easy.
The Covid-19 pandemic has posed issues for Martina finding work and housing and she needs our support now more than ever. Her mother has cancer so they cannot live with her right now due to Covid-19 risks and her step dad works for HCMC. A generous friend offered her a short-term housing solution, but this is temporary and she needs to find permanent housing quickly.
The funds raised here will go towards helping Martina with a downpayment and the necessary first/last month rent to secure safe, permanent housing for her family. Please consider giving generously if you’re able to do so.
