Hi everyone, I really hate to do this, but this is what it has come to.

My name is Nikki, and I’m reaching out today because I’ve reached a point where I can no longer carry this burden alone. This past year has been the most difficult of my life. Within just a few months, I lost both of my parents. After my mom passed away, my dad followed shortly after—I truly believe he died of a broken heart.

While I am still grieving their loss, I’ve had to face a harsh reality. Per my father's will, the family home had to be sold, leaving me without the place I grew up in. I’ve had to vacate and am currently living in an extended-stay hotel.

The Situation

While I am working hard to find a permanent apartment, the weekly cost of the hotel is more than I can keep up with. I am very low on funds and I am terrified that I will be forced out onto the streets before I can secure a lease. I am essentially running out of time.

Why I Need Your Help

I am starting this GoFundMe to create a bridge to my next chapter. The funds raised will go directly toward:

• Weekly extended stay hotel stays to ensure I have a roof over my head tonight and through the coming weeks. This is the cheapest option I have found….

Losing my parents so close together has left me feeling incredibly alone, and the fear of homelessness has made it impossible to properly grieve. I am just looking for a bit of stability so I can catch my breath and start to rebuild.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this link. Anything—even just a kind word—means the world to me right now.

Thank you for listening to my story and for helping me find my way home.
