Hi everyone, I'm reaching out in hopes of getting through one of the most incredibly difficult seasons my family and I have faced in quite some time. Recently I was unexpectedly laid off from my job, and since then we've been trying everything, stay current on our bills, keep our household stable and continue moving forward in faith. I've spent countless hours applying for jobs, reaching out for assistance, and cutting expenses wherever possible, while dealing with the financial reality of suddenly losing income. At this point, we're struggling to cover rent and basic living expenses while I continue to search for work. Honestly, going through this is incredibly humbling and difficult. I am asking for help during a time of real need. Maintaining stable housing and keeping our household together has become my biggest priority. If you feel led to do so, any donation - no matter the amount - would help tremendously towards: Rent, utilities, transportation, groceries, and basic household needs. If you're unable to donate, praying for us or even sharing this fundraiser would mean more than I can express. Thank you for taking the time to read our story, for caring, and for any kindness shown, support given or encouragement during this difficult season. With sincere gratitude, Aury
