Hi, my name is Dakota. I’m asking for help during an urgent and deeply destabilizing transition involving my family and children.

GoFundMe Update – Time Sensitive

Urgent Update:

Due to holiday-related closures within my surgeon’s office and the lack of funds to ensure a safe post-operative recovery, my flight plans had to be changed. This delay is not optional — proceeding without proper recovery support would put my health at serious risk.

I am facing a medically necessary surgery, followed by a 3–6 week recovery period during which I will be unable to work. We still urgently need:

• Funds to travel to Florida

• A hotel for 3 days post-op before we can safely drive

• Full January rent and utilities to maintain housing stability during recovery

This situation is time sensitive and medically critical. The support raised here directly determines whether I can recover safely and avoid further medical and housing instability.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, or checked in. Your support truly matters more than I can express.

URGENT Update

‼️ we are $710 away from securing the rental in Key Largo Fl

Urgent Update:

I am now facing a medically necessary surgery scheduled for the 18th, in the middle of our housing and relocation crisis. I still do not have funds for travel from Albuquerque to Florida, nor the ability to survive the 3–6 week recovery period when I will be unable to work.

This has created an overwhelming and time-sensitive situation: I must undergo surgery to protect my health, while simultaneously trying to secure housing, legal protection for the children, and basic survival needs during recovery.

Without immediate assistance, we risk missing critical medical care, losing housing stability, and being unable to recover safely during this vulnerable period.

This support is helping cover emergency travel, housing stability, medical recovery, and legal protection for the children. Every donation or share truly matters right now.

Thank you to everyone standing with us during this critical moment.

After years of financial instability and control within my prior marriage, my mother and I were suddenly forced to leave our housing situation without adequate notice or legal safeguards in place. This unexpected displacement has created immediate safety, housing, and legal concerns—especially where children are involved.

This fundraiser is not about assigning blame or relitigating the past. It is about creating stability, protection, and safety going forward.

Our immediate goal is to relocate to Florida, where we can secure stable housing, access appropriate legal counsel, and establish a safe environment for the children while longer-term matters are addressed through proper legal channels.

Immediate Needs

Funds raised will help cover:

• Travel costs to reach Florida safely

• $1,600 to complete December rent obligations

• $2,000 for January rent to maintain housing stability

• Legal consultation and representation to protect the children and ensure lawful processes are followed

⸻

Why Support Matters Now

Sudden displacement combined with unresolved legal matters creates a situation where delays can cause long-term harm—especially for children. Establishing housing and legal stability quickly is essential to prevent further disruption.

This support allows us to take responsible, lawful steps forward rather than remain in crisis mode.

⸻

Use of Funds

Donations will be used exclusively for:

• Housing and relocation expenses

• Legal fees and required filings

• Basic necessities during this transition

Transparency and accountability matter deeply to me, and I am grateful for any support or sharing.

Thank You

If you’re able to help, please know your support directly contributes to safety, stability, and responsible legal action during a critical moment.

With sincere gratitude,

Dakota

Funds raised will be used for:

• Emergency travel from Albuquerque to Florida

• Remaining December rent ($1,600) and January rent ($2,000)

• Basic living expenses during a 3–6 week post-operative recovery period

• Medical recovery needs, medications, and follow-up transportation

• Legal consultation and representation to protect the children and ensure lawful processes

All funds are being used solely to stabilize housing, health, and safety during this critical time.

The fundraising goal was adjusted to reflect the addition of urgent medical care, recovery time when I am unable to work, and the immediate need for safe relocation and legal protection.
