I’m a single mother of three daughters doing my best to hold everything together during one of the hardest seasons of my life. Just returned from a mental leave at work due to the following and struggling more than ever now. Recently, I was diagnosed with ADHD and PMDD later in life. For years, I struggled without understanding why I would become overwhelmed, shut down under stress, and have difficulty processing and expressing my thoughts. I’ve been trying to function and raise my children while silently battling challenges I didn’t fully understand.

Right now, I’m facing financial hardship and am behind on rent, with the possibility of eviction. The stress of everything combined has made it difficult to stay stable and keep up with daily responsibilities. I’m asking for help to catch up on rent and avoid losing housing, access proper medical and mental health treatment, and create a stable environment so I can continue being there for my daughters in a healthy way.

This is not easy for me to share. I’ve struggled with embarrassment and fear of being judged, but I know I can’t get through this alone. Any support—whether it’s donating or sharing—means more than I can express. My goal is to stabilize, heal, and continue showing up as a loving, present mother for my girls. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give.
