Hello family and friends,

My name is Vanessa and Tonni is a very good friend of mine. I had the pleasure of meeting Tonni through our kids Alexiss and Sincere who are also good friends. Tonni and I are both military spouses stationed at Spangdahlem AB in Germany.

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. Tonni and her children are in need of help while they make their way back to the states. Many of you may not know the details of what’s been going on, and when Tonni is ready to share that she will be more than happy to do so. However it is not place to share her personal information.

Right now, They’ve found themselves caught in a difficult situation due to the government shutdown. Tonni and her 3 kids were supposed to receive assistance with their flights home, but that support has been put on hold — leaving Tonni responsible for covering the cost on her own.

Tonni and her children are looking to start over from scratch and doing their best to rebuild after being overseas for 6 years. Any support — no matter how big or small — would mean the world to them and help them take the next step toward a new beginning. I truly believe God has a plan for Tonni and her children a plan that is bigger than this and they just need a little help getting there.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for keeping them in your thoughts. If you know Tonni, you know she isn't one to ask for help, but as a mother myself I figured I would reach out for her in hopes that we can all help get her home to her family.

With love and gratitude,

Vanessa N.
