Help Stephanie and Her Boys Avoid Eviction

Hey everyone,

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read this.

My neighbor, Stephanie, is in a pretty bad spot at the moment. She’s been in an unhealthy relationship with her children’s father for years in order to “maintain” the family unit and not give her children a “broken family.” Yet, things have progressively gotten worse and she has realized that she’s doing more harm to her children by staying in this relationship. Her husband is refusing to pay the rent as a form of “punishment” to her since she communicated to him that it would be best if they went their separate ways and co-parented their kids. She is on the verge of being evicted with her boys, and she has nowhere to go—no family and no friends she trusts that can take her in temporarily. I’ve been working with her these past few months to get her and her boys out of her relationship safely. Stephanie is not working at the moment, as she still has a newborn, she is partially deaf, and her eldest son is deaf.

I’m raising money for her, so she can pay for her rent, and I’ll surprise her with whatever is raised through this GoFundMe. I know money is tight for all of us, but it’s moments like this where the measure of our character and the size of our hearts is shown by banding together to help someone in need. And to be frank, the world could use more kindness and less selfishness. We weren’t put on this planet to exist and only serve ourselves; there’s power in being able to give back to those who need it most. Yet, there’s even more power in the sisterhood, and helping out a fellow sister.

Thank you in advance and know how grateful I am to have you all in my life!

Much love,

Adonia
