Hi, my name is Candy. I’m asking for help during one of the most challenging times my family has faced. As a single mom and domestic violence survivor, I’ve always worked hard to provide for my two children, including my son who is autistic and non-verbal.

Recently, I lost my job (which I was working 60-70 hours a week) after needing time off to care for my son, who has been experiencing some health challenges. I had used my available sick time, but because we were in a blackout period, we were not allowed to use our PTO, so days off to deal with caring for him and appointments ultimately led to my termination. I need to make sure I can cover rent, utilities, and other basic expenses.

Here’s how your support can make a difference:

Help pay for travel and medical expenses for my son’s neurologist appointment, additional therapies that may not be covered, copays, his incontinence supplies, etc.

Provide essentials for myself and my kids

Your prayers, donations, and shares of this campaign mean so much to us. I’m determined to get back on my feet and back to work ASAP, but I need a little help to get through this difficult season. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

God bless!
