For the past four years, my children and I have been living without a stable place to call home, facing hardships no family should have to endure. I carry the weight of knowing that some of the struggles we’ve faced came from my own past choices and my battle with addiction. That truth has been painful to face—but it has also pushed me to change. Today, I am proud to say I have 41 days sober and have just graduated from treatment. I am fully committed to my recovery and to rebuilding a safe, stable life for my children.
I am not only working on myself, but also giving back—actively showing up in my community to support others who are struggling, so they don’t have to go through what we have. This new path means everything to me. It’s hope. It’s healing. It’s a future.
Right now, though, I am at risk of losing the one thing helping me stay on track—my bed in sober living—if I cannot come up with rent by the 1st of the month. The fear of losing this stability, and possibly falling back into the cycle I’m fighting so hard to break, is overwhelming.
I am asking from the deepest place in my heart for help. Any amount, no matter how small, brings us closer to stability, safety, and a fresh start. Your support would mean more than just covering rent—it would mean protecting my recovery, keeping a roof over my children’s heads, and giving us a real chance to move forward. Thank you for seeing us, for hearing our story, and for any kindness you can share.
