I never thought I’d be in a position like this, having to share something so personal publicly… but right now I don’t have a choice. This has been one of the most stressful and overwhelming times. My mom is currently being held on a high bail, and my brothers and I have been doing everything we can behind the scenes to figure it out on our own. We’ve weighed every option, trying to come up with the money, and exhausted what we could do before even considering asking for help.

My mom has also been going through some mental health challenges, and this situation has made everything even harder on her and our family. More than anything, I just want to get her back home where she can have the support, care, and stability she needs during this time.

We are trying to raise money to cover the bail bond so my mom can come home. Family means everything to me, and seeing her in this situation has been extremely hard on all of us. If you know me, you know I’m not the type to ask for help. This took a lot for me to even post. But right now, I’m putting my pride aside and doing whatever I can. Any support, whether it’s a donation or just sharing this, means more than I can put into words. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give during this difficult time — Portia
