My son is still in the motel. We still need help. I have been looking for an apartment. I didn't realize how much they have went up in prices. Plus, they want a lot of money for us to have our cats. Whatever you donate will be greatly appreciated. I have been so miserable.

My name is Linda, and I am reaching out for help during one of the hardest times of my life. My son is autistic, and after a recent fight with the owner's son at the trailer where we lived, he was forced to leave. I am handicapped and unable to drive, and we live in a rural area, which has made everything even more difficult. I haven't seen my son in almost two weeks, and being separated from him has been heartbreaking. Right now, my son has no jacket and only the clothes on his back, and it’s cold outside. We are both struggling, and I have tried calling so many organizations for help, but nothing has worked. The stress and worry have taken a toll on my health, and I have been struggling with panic attacks and hunger as I try to figure out our next steps. Today is Thanksgiving, and instead of being together, my son and I are apart. I don’t feel thankful at all—I just want him back with me. There are moments when it feels like giving up is the only option, but I am holding on for my son.

I am asking for support to help us move and start a new life together. The funds raised will go toward moving expenses, securing a safe place for us to live, and providing essentials like food, clothing, and transportation. Your kindness will help me reunite with my son and give us both a chance at stability and hope. Any support you can offer, whether it’s a donation or sharing our story, would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read about our situation and for considering helping our family.
