Help Lighten the Load for Nikita

I'm reaching out to ask for your support for someone truly special — my best friend, Nikita.

Nikita is one of the strongest, kindest people I’ve ever met. Over the past year, she’s faced more than most people do in a lifetime. After tragically losing her beloved Mam, Nikita stepped up in an extraordinary way. At just 19, she became the sole guardian of her 15-year-old sister, Jasmine, while taking on the tenancy of their family home — all while navigating her own deep grief.

Despite the weight on her shoulders, Nikita is pushing forward with courage and determination. She's currently working hard as an apprentice hairdresser — and she’s incredibly talented at what she does — but apprentice wages are limited, and the financial pressure is constant. She receives no outside financial support, and every day she juggles bills, groceries, and the emotional and practical demands of caring for her younger sister.

Nikita has never asked for help — but I am asking on her behalf.

She deserves a break. She deserves to breathe a little easier. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward easing her financial stress — covering basic living costs, and helping her focus on building the future she and her sister deserve.

If you can help, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign would mean the world.

Let’s help lighten Nikita’s load — she’s carried so much, and it’s time for her to feel the support she’s always given others.
