<div>Hi my name is Destany.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I never thought I’d be in a position where people would ask me to create a GoFundMe — but after sharing my story, thousands of you told me I don’t have to do this alone, and I’m finally allowing myself to receive support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a mom, a daughter , and a woman who has survived more than most people will ever know and that I pray no one ever has to go through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I grew up in survival mode — raised in a single-parent household, stepping into responsibilities far too young, navigating life without a father, and carrying trauma that started in childhood. As I got older, I survived abusive relationships, financial instability, and heartbreak that would’ve broken most people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve lost three baby boys.
</div>
<div>I’ve buried dreams while still having to show up every single day.
</div>
<div>I’ve kept going even when life kept taking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And still — I’ve tried to turn my pain into purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, I shared my story online, not expecting it to reach anyone — but it reached millions. My inbox filled with women telling me “Your story sounds like mine” and “Thank you for saying what I’ve been afraid to say.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s when people started telling me:
</div>
<div>“Let us help you.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So here I am — humbly, honestly, and without shame.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is me asking for help. I can’t do it by myself anymore. My babies need me. My mother needs me. And I need yall.  I’m praying that God is hearing my prayers and His kingdom will provide.  I thank every single one of you in advance and ask that you keep me and my family in your prayers. 
</div>
