Miles going the extra mile!

Hi Friends and Family,

 

I recently had the opportunity to catch up with some good friends over dinner. We are all hard working mom's that, like many, have had our own struggles and lean on each other for guidance and support.

One of my friends shared with us the story of her 12 year old son Miles coming home from school and asking if his best friend could live with them. I'm pretty sure at some point all of my kids have asked to have their BFF live with us so they can have endless days and nights of fun! However this ask was different. Mile's friend is the son of a single mother and he has 2 siblings, one brother and one sister. Mom lost her job due to an injury and has been trying to get back on her feet. She is doing all that she can to stay above water while dealing with a back injury which needs medical attention. The place she is living just declined to accept the government funding for her cost of living, which is meager at best. The thought of a struggling single mother being put out on the streets right before the holidays with 3 kids absolutely broke my heart.

This sweet family is near and dear to my friend and she has taken the entire family into her home while they figure out the next step. We decided this platform would be something we could do to help them through this, or at least something to get them through the holidays. In the sprit of Thanksgiving, I am beyond thankful for the roof over my head and my tribe of friends that come together to face whatever life brings our way. Please help us help them! Any donation would be greatly appreciated!
