Help Ren and Kids Stay Housed

Hi friends, strangers, helpers—whoever this reaches—

I’m a single mom in survival mode. I’m not the type to ask for help easily, but I’ve hit a wall I can’t climb alone.

I’m raising two beautiful kids on my own. I’m in school, working toward a better future. I’ve been doing side gigs, selling what I can, and I start a new job next month. But right now, I’m facing an emergency.

I need $3,000 to stay housed—rent and utilities. I’ve tried everything: I’ve been trying to sell my place, but every time I get close, something else comes up. I’ve sought local assistance, done gig work, and juggled a dozen hats. But life keeps swinging hard.

On top of all that, I’ve been dealing with unimaginable loss. Grief has followed me like a shadow. I’ve lost people I loved deeply. And every day, I try to keep showing up—for my kids, for my future, for myself—while holding all that pain. It’s been… a lot.

I don’t want pity. I just need a little breathing room. A little help to get through this month so I can get to the next one.

If you’ve ever had your back against the wall and someone showed up for you—you know how much that means.

Thank you for anything you can give. Even $5. Even a share. Even a kind word.

I’m not giving up. I just need help holding on.

With love!

Ren
