Hi, my name is Jasmin, and I’m fundraising for something incredibly urgent and personal—helping my 12-year-old daughter, Jaya, come home from the hospital.

Several months ago, Jaya experienced a sudden medical crisis that left her paralyzed; a rare spinal cord stroke. Since then, she’s been hospitalized, and I’ve been by her side around the clock. She’s finally stable enough to come home soon—but here’s the problem:

She can’t be discharged because our current home is not wheelchair accessible—and it cannot be modified to become accessible.

We had an official assessment done, and the structure of the home—narrow doors, high steps, and an inaccessible walkway—makes it impossible to safely bring her home. That leaves us with one option: we have to move.

But I’ve been out of work while taking care of Jaya, and my self-employment income isn’t enough for a landlord to approve a new lease. I don’t have the upfront costs for a move, and affordable, accessible housing is already hard to come by.

That’s why I’m asking for help.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

I’m trying to raise $23,000 to cover the full cost of relocating into a wheelchair-accessible unit, including:

12 months of rent at $1,400/month — giving us time to get stable

First and last month’s rent + security deposit (standard lease requirement)

Pet fees for our cat, who has been a huge emotional support

Moving costs and a small emergency buffer

GoFundMe’s fees

Any extra will go towards the purchase of a wheelchair accessible van which is needed for her electric wheelchair for travel outside of medical appointments.

Every dollar goes toward giving Jaya the basic human right of having a home she can return to—and the dignity and safety that comes with that.
