Our family is racing against the clock to keep my mom from being evicted.

We have 72 hours to raise $5,000 to keep her in her apartment long enough to get her into an assisted living facility.

For years, we’ve done everything we can to keep her afloat — covering bills, helping her manage crises, and trying to create some stability. But she’s reached a point where she needs more help than we can give on our own, especially in such a short amount of time.

My mom has always tried to handle things herself. She’s independent, stubborn, and often waits until she’s completely out of options before reaching out. That’s exactly where we are now. Despite everyone’s best efforts, she’s out of time and at real risk of losing her home.

Her situation didn’t happen overnight. For years, she’s put her energy and limited finances into helping my brother, who struggles with severe mental health challenges. Her life has revolved around trying to hold things together for him — and, in doing so, she’s lost her own footing.

This fundraiser isn’t just about rent. It’s about giving her breathing room — a little time to stabilize, get her affairs in order, and find a safe assisted-living facility where she can have the support she needs to move forward.

If you’ve ever watched someone you love walk a tightrope between independence and collapse, you know how hard this is. We’re doing everything we can, but right now we simply can’t do it alone.

Please consider donating or sharing. Even a small contribution can help buy her the time she needs to find a safe next step.

$5,000. 72 hours. A chance to keep her safe and give her hope.

Every bit helps — thank you for reading, sharing, and caring.
