Hi everyone, my name is Kaneisha, and this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write.

Just a few days ago, my entire life changed overnight. I was unexpectedly discharged from the U.S. Army the career I built, the stability I depended on, and the identity I was proud of. One moment I was serving my country, the next I was told I no longer had a job. I’m still in shock.

I am a single mother of three beautiful children, and my youngest is only two years old. I recently took a huge step of faith and purchased a new home so my kids could finally have stability and a place to feel safe. Now, with my sudden discharge, I’m watching the life I’ve worked so hard to build slipping through my fingers.

On top of caring for my children, I also help take care of a 69 year old woman who depends on me. I’m trying my best to keep everyone afloat, but I feel like I’m drowning. I’ve been waking up every morning trying to stay strong for my kids, but inside I am exhausted, heartbroken, and scared of losing everything our home, our security, and our stability. I’ve always taken care of others. And asking for help like this is something I never thought I’d do. But right now, I don’t have another option.

With everything that’s happened, I want to start my own business so I can take care of my family without having to depend on unstable jobs or take out loans that would bury me in debt I can’t afford. I want to build something I can pass down to my children . something that shows them their mom never gave up, even when life knocked her down.But I can’t do it alone. I am humbly asking for support.

Anything you donate will go directly toward:

• Keeping a roof over my children’s heads

• Covering essential bills during this transition

• Purchasing the basic tools and supplies I need to start my business

• Creating a stable future for my family after losing everything so suddenly

Even $1 helps more than you know. If you can’t donate, a share means the world to me. I’m not asking for pity I’m asking for a chance to rebuild.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. Thank you to those who donate, pray, support, or share. I never imagined I would be in this position, but I’m trusting God, trusting this community, and trusting that better days are coming.

With love, gratitude, and hope,

Kaneisha
