Help Us Rebuild After Unimaginable Hardship

Donation protected
I am a single 42-year-old mother with four kids, and we are currently without a home. My journey has been filled with challenges—just recently, I beat breast cancer and had to undergo a mastectomy. In 2023, I lost my twin brother, which led me to stay in New York. My mother and I gained custody of his 3 children. Then, within 6 months of his death, we got the news my 30-year-old sister had stage 4 colon cancer. When I found out my baby sister was also battling cancer, I gave up my lease to be here for her, but sadly, she passed away in September 2025. As I was trying to heal, I lost my grandfather in January 2026. These losses have made it clear that I need to remain in New York for at least another year to support my family and myself. My mom and I, along with these kids, deserve some relief. I just want a home for my mom, kids, nieces, and nephews. It’s been a long, stressful journey, but with the power of God, we have been able to make it through this.

Because I thought we would be starting over in the South, I had to throw away everything we owned. Now, my four children, my mother my brothers kids along with my moms adopted 10 yr old, and I are starting from scratch. The funds raised will go directly toward securing a safe place for us to live, covering moving costs, and helping us furnish a new home. We have nothing left, and any help is deeply appreciated. I want to give my kids and family the peaceful living space we finally deserve after so much loss and hardship. Your support means the world to us as we work to rebuild our lives.
