MAY 16 UPDATE:

Dear friends,

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each of you who contributed to my GoFundMe. Your kindness and generosity have been a beacon of hope in this dark time. I was overwhelmed by the support—not just financially, but emotionally, knowing I’m not alone. I wanted to let you know I will be closing this fundraiser soon. Although my landlord extended the deadline to Monday, the withdrawal process takes a bit more time. If you still wish to help, you can DM me through my Facebook.

Thank you again, from the depths of my gratitude. God bless you all !!!

My name is Mary Valenzuela, and I live in Florida, USA. Despite working full-time, I am currently facing a severe financial hardship.

Recently, my brother, who was my main support in helping pay the rent, had to move out. This is the first time I have ever been in this situation with my rent, and making this fundraiser is very difficult for me because I know there are many people facing difficult situations as well.

I have been actively searching for a part-time job after 6:00 PM to increase my income, but unfortunately, I have not been successful yet.

I recently received a three-day eviction notice, and even after reaching out to charities and government assistance programs, I was told that funding is unavailable at this time. My landlord has been very understanding and merciful by giving me additional time, but I am now at serious risk of eviction.

I am trying to raise approximately $2,000 to cover my rent and late fees before the deadline. If needed, I can privately provide proof of the eviction notice, as it contains sensitive personal information.

Any support, prayers, or kindness would truly mean the world to me.

Thank you so much, and God bless you all.
