Help Julie Stay Afloat During Divorce Transition

hi everyone! my name is Miranda and I’m trying to help my mom, Julie, stay in our home after a sudden divorce.

My mom is currently facing one of the most challenging seasons in her life. She is 55 and lives in Phoenix, AZ. She has always been the kind of person who shows up for everyone. My mom is one of the most thoughtful, generous, and caring women you could ever meet. She’s the kind of mom who puts everyone else first, and always finds a way to give even when she has very little herself. She has been a light in so many people’s lives.

She’s always been a strong woman. She managed as a single mom to me and my siblings (we were 1, 3, and 5 at the time she and my dad divorced). She worked hard to provide a safe and loving home on her own for us, and she’s never stopped showing up for others even when life gets tough.

Now, she is the one who needs help. Last month our stepdad initiated a divorce. While not unexpected it was sudden and she was not prepared emotionally or financially. Our stepdad was the higher earner but their combined income is what paid the bills. So now in a crunch (both time and money) I would like to help

raise about $12,000 which is about 3 months of living expenses; it would give her enough time to find a higher paying job and/or secure a new place to live. Even with the help of my siblings and I, it still is not enough (we have our own debts). I would love to relieve her of this burden so she can put her attention to her future. She is someone who is always optimistic and hopeful and hardworking so watching her feel defeated is devastating and I feel helpless.

So if you can help, even with the smallest donation, it would mean more than we could ever say. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this would be just as appreciated.

Thank you for supporting someone who’s spent her whole life supporting others.
