My name is Stephanie, and I am starting this fundraiser for myself as I work to reunite with my two kids and rebuild our lives. I survived domestic violence involving my husband, and since then I have been facing a painful family and child guardianship situation that has left me heartbroken and overwhelmed. I have been doing everything I can to show that I am trying, but this process has taken a huge emotional and financial toll on me. Right now, I feel like I am fighting on my own while trying to stay strong for my children and keep moving forward.

I am asking for help because I am completely broke while working hard to get back on my feet. Donations will help me cover my basic living needs as I work toward stability, get into college to become an EMT, and find a job so I can create a better future for myself and my kids. Any support, whether it is a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser, would mean so much to me. I am not giving up on my children or on rebuilding my life, and I am grateful for any kindness that helps me get through this difficult time.
