I'm taking a deep breath and reaching out for help and support, trusting that together, you can help me navigate this unexpected turn. This week, I was laid off from a job I loved after the company suddenly closed. While I'm still waiting on my final paycheck,

I've taken the initiative to apply for the benefits I may be eligible. In the short term, I am looking for help to ensure we can cover our rent, utilities, groceries and gas.

Losing this job is more than just a financial challenge—it’s a chance to uncover new strengths. I worked at a local counseling center and felt deeply connected to the clients I served. Being part of their healing journey was truly fulfilling, and I’m confident that I’ll find new ways to grow. I’m actively applying for new opportunities and doing everything I can to get back on my feet, both for myself and for my two amazing sons—Oliver (10) and Asher (3). My goal is to keep things as normal as possible for them while I navigate this unexpected chapter.

Your contribution, in any form, is a beacon of hope. It's a reminder that we're not alone in this journey. Every donation, shared post, or kind thought moves us closer to overcoming this challenge and emerging more resilient. We're thankful for your support, which will be a crucial stepping stone towards a brighter tomorrow.

With love and hope,

Haley Pratt
