<div>Hi, my name is Brandon, and I’m raising funds to help my sister — a proud, devoted mother, and an incredible professional who’s now fighting to hold on after everything came crashing down.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For eight years, my sister drove a school bus for Anne Arundel County Public Schools. She did it with pride, integrity, and the highest safety standards — never a single traffic violation, no points, no DUIs, no issues. To her, it wasn’t just a job. It was a calling. She loved those kids. She took care of them like they were her own. Her bus was her second home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But recently, an unexpected accident changed everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She was involved in an incident at work that led to permanent muscle tissue damage in her left leg — an injury that causes her pain every day and has made it difficult to walk, let alone work. And the physical damage isn’t the only thing that lingers — she replays the accident in her mind constantly. The heartbreak of losing the job she loved, the job she was so good at, is something no one can prepare for.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now she’s facing a terrifying ripple effect:

</div>

<div>•	She’s been decertified from driving for the county

</div>

<div>•	Her license has been suspended

</div>

<div>•	She’s in the process of an expedited suspension hearing

</div>

<div>•	Traffic violations and a Clearinghouse report threaten her ability to work anywhere in the transportation industry

</div>

<div>•	A court trial for the violations is still pending

</div>

<div>•	She’s taken a new position at a severe pay cut, just to survive

</div>

<div>•	And she’s now facing attorney fees she simply cannot afford

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And while all of that would be overwhelming for anyone — she’s still doing her best to show up every day for her two daughters, Taylor and Scarlett, who depend on her for everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She’s scared. She’s exhausted. And she’s grieving not just the loss of income — but the loss of purpose, identity, and the sense of pride that came from a job she gave her heart to. I’ve watched her try to stay strong, try to keep smiling for her girls, try to navigate a system that feels like it’s stacked against her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But she shouldn’t have to do this alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support will help her:

</div>

<div>•	Cover rent, food, and utilities for her and the girls

</div>

<div>•	Pay for legal representation at her license hearing and upcoming trial

</div>

<div>•	Begin the long process of rebuilding — physically, emotionally, and financially

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’ve ever known someone who did everything right — who played by the rules, gave their best, and still lost more than they could afford to — then you know exactly what my sister is going through.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even $5 can help. A share can help. A kind word can help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And thank you for helping my sister and her girls hold onto hope.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With all my heart,

</div>

<div>Brandon

</div>
