My name is Lauren a single mother to three beautiful children, my youngest, having autism with a spectrum. Recently in April 2024 I woke up one morning could not walk could not hold my cell phone could not open the door to my house. I could not drive.

I was working at a pediatric office for a year. I was placed on leave due to my health and medication complications and I was diagnosed with RA rheumatoid arthritis an autoimmune disorder. I was laid off from that job November 25 of 2025 I lost my car. I lost my home that I owned. I did get another job but I was laid off from there January 30, 2026.

I've been having nonstop flareups from my RA, which is causing fluid in my legs and my knees. With this happening, I have been placed on prednisone, which is causing a lot of issues and not being able to walk only short distances. My rheumatologist doctor for my RA said I could be in a walker within five years. Being out of work, not being able to provide for my kids or myself has placed a lot of strain on me financially. I currently applied for disability, and I am waiting on that to go through, which is a process. I don't want to lose another home or for my youngest daughters to see. Anything will help me at this time. I have never created one of these or asked out like this financially. Since 2024 it has really been a struggle since I became ill. Please, if you have it in your heart to help me and my children. God is good and the Lord will make a way.
