My name is Dion, and I am reaching out for help for myself, my wife, and our five children—three girls and two boys. Everything changed when we were living on 29th and Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My boss sold our home to a company called Barada Properties, and suddenly, the sheriff was at our door telling us we had only three days to pack up and leave. I didn’t understand what was happening until I realized the building had been sold and we were being forced out. We ended up homeless on the streets with five babies, nowhere to go, no food, and no clothing. Everything I worked for over nine years was gone in an instant. We were left out there like we were nobody, and it broke my heart to see my kids go through this.

I am a father before anything, and I am doing everything I can to protect and provide for my family. We need help with food, clothes, Pampers, wipes, baby strollers, and other essentials for our children. We also need support for women’s and men’s clothes, shoes, and anything that can help us get back on our feet. If anyone knows about housing or can help us find a place to stay, we would be so grateful. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us, and we love you all for pitching in to help. Even a penny, a dollar, or a quarter can make a difference and help us build toward a safe home for our kids. Please find it in your heart to help us out. Thank you for reading our story and taking time out of your busy schedule to understand what we’re going through. God bless you all.
