Our community is hurting. Even as the visible surge begins to slow, the impact has not ended. Because of the recent ICE presence across the metro, many families have been out of work. Parents have missed shifts. Some have been too afraid to leave their homes. Others lost income entirely. Bills did not pause. Rent is still due. Utilities are still due. March is here, and for many families, it feels impossible.

This fundraiser is to help cover March rent and essential utilities for families directly impacted. These are hardworking parents who were providing for their children just weeks ago. Now they are trying to rebuild after sudden income loss and instability. Recovery will take time. Even if enforcement activity decreases, families still need to secure work again, catch up on unpaid bills, and stabilize their homes. The ripple effect of this surge will last longer than the headlines.

We are currently supporting multiple families with children ranging from infants to teenagers. Every dollar raised will go directly toward rent, electricity, water, heat, and other essential household bills to keep families safely housed. This is a new kind of metro surge. The aftermath is quiet but heavy. We cannot look away now. Please help us reach our goal so families can stay in their homes and begin rebuilding. Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, makes a real and immediate difference. Together, we can help our community recover.
