This year has been one of the hardest for me and my son. My work hours have been cut down to just a few each week, making it nearly impossible to keep up with our basic needs. On top of that, I lost my little girl chihuahua of 14 years on December 11th, 2025. The grief has been overwhelming, and it’s been hard to find comfort while also trying to stay strong for my son.

My dad’s health has taken a turn for the worse, and he’s now experiencing grand mal seizures. I’ve been doing my best to support him, but it’s made it even harder to earn enough to get by. In October, I was able to get a car, hoping it would help me find more work. But with my hours reduced so much, I can’t afford to get the tag or keep up with the expenses. I’m struggling to feed myself and my son, and I don’t have anyone else to turn to for help.

The funds from this fundraiser will go directly toward getting my car expenses in order. This will allow me to get to work legally and open up more opportunities to search for jobs farther from home. I want nothing more than to support myself and my son, but right now, I’m at a loss. I want to thank each and every one of you who takes the time to read our story, whether you’re able to help or not. It’s really hard for me to ask for help, but I’ve been told I need to accept it. Any support would mean the world to us and help us see the light at the end of this tunnel.
