My husband John and I have always worked hard to support ourselves, but this past year has brought unexpected challenges. In August 2025, we both lost our jobs, which was a huge blow to our sense of security. John was able to find another job soon after, but unfortunately, it was a government contract that wasn't renewed. Now, after just two weeks of being out of work again, John has secured a new position that starts on March 23rd. While we're relieved and grateful for this opportunity, we're facing a financial gap until his first paycheck arrives.

During this time, we're struggling to cover our most essential expenses: rent, car payment, electricity, and car insurance. We have done everything we can to stretch our resources (with help from family ), but we simply need a little more help to get us through this slump. Your support will go directly toward keeping a roof over our heads and making sure we can keep our car and utilities running until things stabilize.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward our rent, car payment, and utilities to help us get through these next few weeks. We are so thankful for your kindness and support as we prepare for this new chapter starting in March.
