Help Carissa Rebuild Her Life — One Step at a Time

Donation protected
She’s not asking for a handout. She’s asking for a chance.

Carissa is a mother who has been through more hardship than anyone should face. She recently gave birth under unimaginable circumstances and is currently in jail — not because she poses a danger to society, but because she has nowhere to go (News Story). We want Carissa to have access to housing so she has somewhere safe to go.

Right now, her freedom depends on one thing: a safe place to live.

We have reached out to community resources, including local shelters and housing agencies, but like so many areas, Logan is facing overwhelming demand. These systems, while critical, simply do not have the capacity to meet every urgent need — and Carissa has been left with no available options.

This fundraiser is about giving Carissa a real chance. She’s motivated. She’s resilient. She’s ready to take the next step. But no one can rebuild their life from a jail cell — or from the street.


Your donation will help cover:
• First and last month’s rent
• 3–4 months of additional rent to allow her time to get on her feet
• Basic necessities to begin life with stability and dignity

Carissa’s newborn daughter is currently in foster care. Reunification will take time, but securing stable housing is the first and most urgent step toward rebuilding her future.

We are actively seeking affordable rental options in the Logan, Utah area. If you have leads on housing, or know of community connections that might help, please reach out.


Why this matters:

We all say people deserve a second chance — this is that moment.

This campaign isn’t just about covering rent. It’s about freedom, hope, and the kind of community support that makes real change possible. Carissa has faced overwhelming odds. With your help, she can finally begin again — with dignity, safety, and a real shot at stability.

No donation is too small.
Even $5 helps build the foundation she needs. And if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this campaign is a powerful way to help.

Together, we can unlock a new beginning.

Thank you for standing with Carissa.
