Hi everyone, my name is Jess. I’m reaching out during one of the most overwhelming moments of my life, and I’m humbly asking for help as I work to rebuild stability for me and my children.

Recently, due to circumstances outside my control, my kids and I had to leave home suddenly. In the process, we lost just about everything. A close friend has been incredibly kind and opened her home to us for the time being, but it’s only a temporary place to land while I try to get back on my feet. My goal is to secure our own safe, stable home as soon as possible so my kids can have the stability they deserve.

I have a newborn, an autistic toddler, and several other children who depend on me. I’m also chronically ill and currently awaiting a disability hearing next month, which means I’m unable to work right now. The stress of trying to provide for them in this situation is overwhelming, and I’m doing everything I can—but I need help.

What We Need Help With

Your support will go directly toward:

Securing a home for me and my children

Replacing essentials we lost when we had to leave

Food, diapers, formula, clothing, and daily needs

Transportation and moving costs

Basic household items once we find a place


With the holidays approaching, I’m also heartbroken not knowing how I’ll be able to give my kids a Christmas this year. Any help means more than you can imagine.

I’ve always tried my best to manage on my own, but this is bigger than anything I can overcome alone. Even the smallest donation makes a real difference. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing this helps more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Thank you for helping us feel supported, seen, and hopeful again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Jess & Kids
