My mom has always been a fighter. After losing her business and her husband, she's faced more than her share of challenges, but she's never given up. Even now, as she works to stay in her home, she's doing everything she can—taking on roommates, advocating for herself, and finding creative ways to get by. But sometimes, even the strongest people need a little help.

Right now, my mom hasn't had hot water for 10 days because her water heater broke. She's managed to get some help with the cost, but replacing a water heater is so expensive these days, and the bills keep piling up. On top of that, she's behind on her electricity bills and struggling to cover the basics that aren't supported by government programs. It's a lot for anyone to handle, and I want to do everything I can to help her stay safe and comfortable in her own home.

That's why I'm reaching out for support. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward getting her hot water back, catching up on electricity bills, and covering those everyday essentials that make a house feel like home. Thank you for reading, and for any help you can give to keep my mom safe, warm, and hopeful.
