My name is Nadja, and I’m raising funds to help cover rent, utilities, and food for myself and my three-year-old daughter, Olivia. Recently, we experienced a traumatic situation that forced us out of our home and left us struggling to make ends meet. After my boyfriend became violent and threatened me, I had to call the police for help. The situation escalated to the point where the SWAT team had to intervene, and now we’re left with damages to our home and overdue bills.

Because of this, I lost my job and fell behind on rent and utilities. My landlord is upset about the damages, and I’m worried about keeping a safe place for Olivia and me. I’m starting a new job as a receptionist at a doctor’s office in Albany, NY next week, but I won’t have any income for a while. My immediate needs are rent, the electric bill, and groceries so Olivia and I can get through this difficult time.

My mom, aunt and olivia’s father have been helping by watching Olivia while I go to interviews, but I’m handling the financial side on my own. I’m looking forward to finding peace of mind and stability for us again. Any support will help us get back on our feet and give Olivia the safe, secure home she deserves.
