Hello beloved family and friends,

As much as I wanted to be prideful, my livelihood won't allow me to, at least for the sake of my child.

As of March 28, 2025 I was terminated from a salaried position as a Front of House manager at a restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Mi one day after having words with a racist coworker. Though I was told the reason behind my termination had nothing to do with the confrontation and "operational reconstruction" was the official cause, I was not offered any other explanation besides labor costs being too high.

Exactly three weeks later after paying up on rent, I was notified by mail that my home was sold to new management in a different country and they are not interested in new leasing contracts for current tenants. While job searching and home searching simultaneously with little savings after being terminated unexpectedly, I received a certified letter from 36th District Court notifying me that a bailiff would be to our home on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 to escort my family from our home. After filing countless motions to request a 30-day stay from the court (and being denied each time) I came to the point where we had to leave all of our belongings and take what could fit in my car.

Currently, we do not have anywhere to sleep safely and I have called 211 for resources. The shelter we were referred to was for men only and the family shelters are full. We have slept in the car since the removal however it is becoming colder at night and keeping gas to keep the car on and warm is becoming an hourly struggle.

I did secure employment, however I was given a start date of May 5, 2025 and I will have to work the three week hole before receiving any income to begin to save for a deposit for a new home.

All we need is a leg up, a few weeks to stay at the most inexpensive hotel I can find near his school so that things can be as normal as possible for him until I am able to secure my first check. As much as my heart hurts having to ask for help, I know my son is looking to me to fix things, and I pray I can do that with the help of anyone who understands my position.

I truly hope the heavens plants it on your heart to help, God bless you.
