Help Alejandra's Family in Urgent Move

Hello, my name is Alejandra and I am raising funds to help our family navigate an unexpected move.

I never imagined I’d be here, writing this. But after five years in our home, we’ve been given just 60 days to move out. This wasn’t something we planned for, and the cost of relocating is more than we can handle on our own right now.

What makes this even harder is that the notice came shortly after I submitted several maintenance requests. Our swamp cooler stopped working in the desert heat, the fridge broke down—food spoiled, and water began leaking into the house during the last rainstorm. We were just trying to make the place livable for our kids. Instead, we were told we had to leave.

I’m a mom to three young kids, and my husband works full-time for USPS, six days a week. His income covers our basic monthly needs—rent, food, gas, and bills—but we simply don’t have enough saved to cover a move of this scale on such short notice.

We’re doing what we can: selling items, stretching every dollar, and staying as organized as possible. But between the cost of a moving truck, security deposit, first month’s rent, required carpet cleaning, and even dumpster rental to clear out what we can’t take with us, we’re overwhelmed, and we need a little help.

We also have two dogs who are part of our family. Lotus, who I’ve had since I was 19, is now 12 years old. Our other dog Mojave has been with us for four years. They’ve both been through so much with us, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure they stay safe and land home with us too. Moving with pets adds another layer of challenge, especially with rental restrictions and added expenses, but we’re committed to keeping our whole pack together.

If you’re in a position to support or even just share this campaign, it would mean the world to us. Every donation, message, and share helps us move one step closer to stability and peace.

Thank you for walking beside us during this transitional season.

With love and gratitude,

A grateful family

Things people may wonder:

Why ask for help if your husband works?

He works full-time, six days a week, and we’re thankful. But his paycheck goes to rent, bills, groceries, gas, and everything the kids need. This move came out of nowhere and hit us with a huge upfront cost we can’t cover on top of everything else. We’re doing our best to handle it but need a little extra support.

What will the money be used for?

All of it goes to moving costs — rent, deposit, truck rental, cleaning, packing supplies, and utility deposits. If anything’s left over, it’ll help us settle in and cover any surprises.
