On November 20, 2025, Caitlin Schrader and her three young children faced an unimaginable crisis when a vehicle struck their apartment building. The impact left the building unsafe, forcing Caitlin—a devoted single mother of a 1-year-old girl, a 3-year-old boy, and a 4-year-old girl with special needs—to leave the home they’ve known for over four years. With only seven days to move out, Caitlin is now urgently searching for a safe place to keep her family together and secure.

Caitlin’s immediate needs include a deposit and first month’s rent for a new apartment, moving expenses, and a storage unit to protect their belongings during this transition. As the holidays approach, the uncertainty and stress weigh heavily on Caitlin and her children, but with the support of caring people like you, there is hope for a fresh start.

We are reaching out to the community to help Caitlin and her kids find stability and comfort in this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in their journey to a new home. Thank you for reading Caitlin’s story and for offering your support and prayers.
