My ex husband left me and my three children with a large light bill, and if we don't find a way to pay it, we'll have our lights cut off. This has been an incredibly stressful and frightening time for us. As a mother, I am doing everything I can to keep my family safe and secure, but the burden of this unexpected bill is more than I can handle alone. We rely on our electricity and Internet not just for daily living, but for my children's education and well-being. Every day, I worry about how I will keep the lights on and provide for my kids.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to paying our electric and Internet bills. Your support will help us avoid losing these essential services and give my children the stability they need during this difficult time. I am committed to using every dollar raised for these bills and nothing else, so you can be sure your generosity is making a real difference in our lives.

I have made many mistakes in my life and I live through them understanding that I am the cause and also the solution. But this time, I'm not so sure I am enough to do this alone. I've learned a hard lesson about who to love and trust and I am greatly suffering for it. I am hoping my community will understand this as well. Please give anything you can and help me and my kids find independence from someone who did nothing but take us for granted and leave us for a new unbroken family. Your kindness and support will mean the world to us, and I am deeply grateful for any help you can offer.
