Help Jayden's Family Fight Black Mold and Keep the Heat
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
This is a difficult situation for me to talk about. It can be daunting to ask for help as an extremely hard-working, low-class family in times of need. My family lives in an old, leaking, single-wide mobile home with five individuals. Recently, our family discovered black mold throughout every room, and we began our renovation project two months ago. Things were going slow and steady until recently, my breadwinner dad, who works all day in the elements to provide for us, was laid off from his job, and the unemployment office has been completely unresponsive. With the growing costs of materials, food, and bills, we have exhausted our savings accounts to support us and ongoing projects. My grandmother, who lives with us, has been sleeping on the couch for a month as the mold was the worst in her room. She lives with chronic sciatica pain, making this experience significantly harder for her to bear. I am overwhelmed trying to find solutions for our family to get through this without asking for others. I am growing desperate without access to a vehicle and incoming bills that need to be paid, such as our heat, and thus I will do anything to ensure my family is safe. I am asking for a hand-up, not a handout, as we navigate through these hard times. I know it is Christmas, and others are struggling too, and it pains me to think I could be taking away opportunities from others. That's why any amount helps - even as small as 1 dollar or a cup of coffee. I don't know how I can repay the favor to you, but your generosity will never be forgotten.
Thank you so much. This will be a surpise that will change their life.
God Bless,
Jayden
