Hi everyone, my name is Valerie and I recently made the difficult decision to step away from a 10-year full-time career in property management and move to part-time work so I could spend more time raising my daughter during these first years of her life. I let go of my home to move closer to family, but like many families, we’ve been navigating limited income, little local family support, and the rising cost of housing. We are currently living with family while trying to save enough to move into a place of our own. We’ve been given an opportunity for housing, but we need help covering the first month’s rent and security deposit to get started. Any support, shares, or prayers mean more to us than you know. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
