My name is Brook, and I’m a single parent caring for my 5-month-old baby girl. At just 2 days old, I had to take her in because her mother was unable to care for her. Since then, I’ve been doing everything I can to provide a safe and loving home, but the challenges have been overwhelming. The cost of living is so high, and I am 53 years old. My youngest child is 26, so it’s been a long time since I’ve cared for a baby. I am so happy I was able to help a friend and love this baby as my own.


My rent, utilities, and daycare costs are more than I can manage right now, especially since I’ve been off work without pay since February 2026 to care for my daughter. I tried to find a more affordable solution by purchasing RVs to live in, but things didn’t go as planned. One RV was sold to me by someone who didn’t actually own it, and another was totaled during transport before it ever reached me. These setbacks have made it even harder to find stability.


I’m hoping to move into an RV temporarily to reduce expenses and save up for a permanent home for my daughter and me. Your support would mean the world to us. Any kindness or help you can offer will bring us closer to a safe, stable future. Thank you for reading our story and considering a donation.
