My name is Vanessa, and right now I’m staying in a hotel and in our car with Andrew and Carlos after we lost our home due to a recent job loss and eviction. The past week has been devastating for us as we try to adjust to this new reality, facing uncertainty every day. We’re doing our best to stay strong for each other, but it’s been incredibly hard not having a stable place to call home.

Our most urgent needs are covering the hotel costs and making sure we have enough food each day. Every day brings new challenges, from worrying about how long we can stay in the hotel to making sure we have meals for all of us. This experience has been overwhelming, but we’re determined to keep moving forward and support each other through it all.

We’re actively searching for stable housing and working to get back on our feet, surrounded by positive people who can help us rebuild. Any support will go directly toward our immediate needs and help us find a path back to stability. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any help you can offer.
