My name is Melissa, and I’m a mom to an 8-month-old baby girl named Shiloh. Over the past months, we have stayed in shelters, doing everything I can to care for her and keep her safe. Recently, we finally found a place to call our own—a real home where Shiloh can grow up with the stability and comfort every child deserves. But now, I am facing a challenge I can’t overcome alone. To secure our new home, I need to pay first and last month’s rent. I’ve managed to pay the first month, but I need help paying the last month’s rent. Because I care for Shiloh full time, my income is limited, and I only have eight days left to pay the landlord. I am not someone who finds it easy to ask for help, but I am reaching out in desperation because I want to give my baby girl the safety and stability she needs.

Having a stable home will mean everything to us. It will allow me to provide Shiloh with the security and comfort she deserves and help us avoid returning to a shelter. If you are able to help, your support would mean the world to us. Thank you for reading our story and for any kindness you can share.
