Sydney is a 24-year-old single mother who works hard cleaning hotel rooms to support herself and her young daughter. She is also expecting her second child, making her situation even more urgent. Despite her dedication, the hours can be unpredictable and the wages are low, making it difficult to keep up with the rising cost of living. About six months ago, Sydney lost her low-cost rental, and her new rent is now three times what she was paying before. Without a strong family safety net and with her parents unable to help, Sydney has been doing everything she can to stay afloat. Her landlord has been patient and understanding, but now Sydney is facing the very real threat of eviction.

I've known Sydney since she was 14, when she attended the church where I worked. We lost touch for a few years, but when she was 21, Sydney reached out to me on social media, looking for a connection with a caring adult. Since then, I've tried to be a support in her life, and I've seen firsthand that she is the same good-hearted, trustworthy, and optimistic person she always was. Sydney is determined to provide a stable life for her children, and she is doing everything she can to make that happen.

This fundraiser is to help Sydney pay her back rent so she and her daughter can avoid eviction. She will be able to contribute a small portion herself from her tax refund, but she needs help to cover the rest. Any support you can give will go directly to helping Sydney stay in her home. I know she will be responsible with every donation, and your kindness will make a real difference for this wonderful family. Thank you for considering helping Sydney and her children.
