My children and I are homeless. I recently relocated from my hometown Memphis, TN to Arizona to provide my children with a better life and more opportunities. Memphis was not a safe place, and there are not as many opportunities as there are in Arizona. I have been looking for work, but with no family or friends that I trust to watch my children while I work, things can be challenging. Me and my babies have slept in rental cars, scrapped up money I made doing gig work to eat, and possibly if we have enough for a room, I will get one. I thought I had friends I could trust to live with, but it turns out they weren’t my friends. They used us for everything we had, in which we barely had anything to begin with. I lost my rental and all means of income when I went to stay with them. They betrayed me, belittled me, made us feel uncomfortable and cornered in.

 I found a work-from-home job and was so excited for a breakthrough. But, I didn’t have the proper place to work from home. I lost the work-from-home job shortly after starting because of this. I used the funds I made to get a cheap rental and start gig work. I work so many hours just to get small amounts, and all of the money goes towards food, rental cars, and maybe a hotel room. If I didn’t make enough, me and my babies sleep in the car. I was just approved for apartments, but I can’t afford the move-in cost. I have applied for free daycare for my children, but there is a very extensive waitlist. I need a car, not a rental. I need a home, not a motel. I need childcare. I need a village. I’ve been doing this alone with no family in AZ with my head held high. I promised my children they will never miss a meal, stand outside, never go unbathed or clean. I am driven and ambitious. I desire to open my clothing boutique back up and thrive. I won’t stop until I’m successful. But I do need some help.

 I am asking the whole village for just a little act of kindness. My babies and I need help getting into a safe home, transportation. We would appreciate anything you could donate to us to assist with getting into a safe home, transportation and safe childcare. We need you right now and We love you.
