My mom, Shari, is one of the strongest, most persevering people you’ll ever meet. She has weathered many hard things in life without asking for help. This time, she and I are humbly asking our communities for help.

Earlier this month, my mom had to miss several days of work because of a mental health emergency. This unfortunately resulted in her losing her job. We are trying to raise $1,000, which is her share of her household’s rent and utilities for May. This will buy her some time to heal, find a new job, and get back on her feet without losing her home and having to go to a shelter. The goal is to be financially self-sufficient again by June, and my mom is taking every step possible to achieve it.

Every share and donation makes a big difference, no matter the amount <3 All donations will be routed to my checking account, and I’ll securely send the rent to Mom’s roommate/landlord via Venmo.

With infinite gratitude,

Kayla and Shari
