After making a big move eight hours away to start fresh, I was devastated to discover that the new place I found for my kids and me was filled with black mold. It wasn’t safe for us to stay, so we had no choice but to move back and are now living with my grandad while we try to get back on our feet. This unexpected setback has been tough, but I’m determined to give my kids a safe and stable home again.

The funds from this fundraiser will help us cover the essentials we need to start over—everything from a deposit and moving costs to basic necessities for our new place. Every bit of support brings us closer to having a place to call our own, where my kids can feel safe and settled.

Thank you so much for everything y’all have done in supporting me and my family in our journey. I couldn’t be more grateful for all of y’all. This is for everyone who keeps saying I need to make one! Your kindness and encouragement mean the world to us, and we appreciate any help you can give as we work toward a fresh start.
