My name is Matthew, and I’m raising funds to help stabilize my family during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Over the last few months, we’ve been fighting to stay afloat through housing instability, medical challenges, and financial setbacks that hit all at once.

Right now, my young son Eli and I are in temporary housing that ends in less than three weeks. My mother, who has serious health issues, has been sleeping in our car with our dog because we simply don’t have the means to get her a safe place. We are doing everything we can — DoorDash, applying for new jobs, contacting every local resource, and trying to piece together something stable — but we have run out of time and options.

I’m raising funds so my family can secure short-term housing, keep our car (our only transportation for work and school), and make sure my son and my mother don’t end up on the street. Any support — no matter how small — will go directly toward shelter, food, gas, and helping us get to a place where we can rebuild.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness means more than you know.
