Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read our story. My name is Lily, and I am a mother to four beautiful daughters. Writing this is not easy for me, but I am reaching out because my family truly needs help. My husband and I are currently unemployed and have been struggling for some time. The weight of financial hardship has taken a serious toll on our mental and emotional health. We are both experiencing depression and overwhelming stress as we try every day to stay strong for our children.

We live in a rented home, and unfortunately our rent is now two months overdue. Our utility bills are also past due, and our bank account is currently overdrawn. We are doing everything we can to hold things together, but right now we are at a breaking point. As parents, our greatest fear is not being able to provide stability and security for our daughters. They deserve a safe home, warm meals, and peace of mind — and it breaks our hearts to feel like we are falling short, despite our best efforts.

This fundraiser is meant to help us catch up on overdue rent to avoid losing our home, pay essential bills, cover groceries and daily living expenses, and give us a small cushion while we actively work toward employment and recovery. Every dollar raised will go directly toward keeping a roof over our heads and meeting our children’s most basic needs. Even a small donation can make a meaningful difference for our family during this difficult time. If you are unable to donate, we completely understand — sharing this fundraiser or keeping us in your prayers means just as much to us. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading our story and for any kindness you are able to show. Your support gives us hope when we need it most.
