This past year has been one of the hardest of my life. I’ve faced loss after loss, and despite doing everything I could to stay afloat, life has knocked me down more than once. I recently lost my car, and although I can’t get it back without paying $1,400, that isn’t what weighs heaviest on me.

What matters most right now is my storage unit.

Inside it are my children’s belongings—their clothes, their memories, the things that make them feel at home no matter where life takes us. Losing that would break my heart far more than losing any car ever could.

The storage unit is past due, and I’m at risk of everything inside being auctioned off. I’ve tried every option and stretched every dollar, but I can’t catch up in time on my own. Asking for help is something I’ve always avoided. I’ve always tried to figure things out alone, and it hurts my pride to admit I can’t this time. But for my kids, I’m putting my ego aside.

I’m asking for help with $577.60 to save the storage unit and keep my children’s things safe. Anything helps—truly. Even a share helps more than you know.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for supporting us during a time I never expected to face.
