Hi, my name is Amanda.

Just before Christmas, I unexpectedly lost my job of nearly nine years when the business was sold and hours were eliminated. The sudden loss of income has been incredibly difficult at a time when stability matters most.

I'm a mom doing everything I can to keep things normal for my children, but without income, it's been hard to keep up with other bills and everyday essentials like utilities, groceries, and basic household needs.

I'm actively applying for work and working with assistance programs while I try to get back on my feet. Asking for help is not easy, but this fundraiser would help bridge the gap during this unexpected hardship.

Any support, even sharing this, truly means more than I can say.

Thank you for your kindness.
