Our home is falling apart just days before Christmas, and our family is at a breaking point. We need help. Just a few nights ago, our entire bathroom ceiling collapsed. One second everything was normal… the next, the ceiling was on the floor and black mold was staring back at us. We knew there was a leak and filed an insurance claim on October 21st, but no one came until December 3rd. We kept a tarp over it for weeks, doing everything we could on our own — but it didn’t save anything. The damage only got worse.

Today, while I was at work, my husband started pulling pieces of the bathroom apart, and what he found brought him to his knees. The mold is everywhere. The walls, insulation, ceiling — completely destroyed. It’s dangerous. And we have three daughters living here. Three little girls who deserve a safe, healthy home… not a disaster zone. Christmas is days away. And instead of wrapping gifts or baking cookies or trying to make things magical for our girls, we are fighting to keep our home livable. We are exhausted. We are overwhelmed. And honestly, we’re scared. My husband is doing everything — running his business, taking care of the girls, trying to fix what he can — but it’s too much for one person. We feel like we’re drowning and the water just keeps rising.

We are not the kind of family that asks for help. But right now… we are out of options. We don’t just need donations. We need help. Help to repair the bathroom. Help to remove the mold. Help to make this house safe again so our daughters don’t have to breathe this in. Our insurance only wrote a $1,200 check — nowhere near enough for the damage we’re facing. Any help at all — even just sharing this — would mean more to our family than we can ever express. We’re truly grateful for anything.Every single dollar will go directly toward fixing the damage and getting our home back to a place where our kids can feel safe — especially during a time that’s supposed to be filled with joy, not fear. If you can’t donate, please share. Please help us get this in front of the right people. We’re praying for a miracle before Christmas, and any support means everything to us. Thank you, truly, from the bottom of our hearts.
