EMERGENCY: 3 Days to Save Our Home – A Mother’s Last Hope

My name is Sonia Smith, and I’m typing this through tears as the clock ticks toward August 20th—the day my daughter Alexandra and I will be legally homeless unless we can pay $8,000 in back rent and court fees.

How We Got Here: A Story of Sacrifice and Sudden Collapse

I spent years being the strong one—until my body forced me to my knees:

THE CRUELEST IRONY

While obsessively protecting my family during COVID (masking, sanitizing, isolating), I ignored my own body screaming for help:

FIVE SURGERIES. FIVE NIGHTMARES.

December 2022: First bowel obstruction emergency → 14-day hospitalization

2023-2024: Four more surgeries (ulcers, hernias, another obstruction)

April 2025: Nearly bled out during surgery #5 → resuscitated on the table

THE AFTERMATH

18 months unable to work (in 2025, 6 weeks unpaid)

$78,000 in medical debt

Permanent digestive damage

Alexandra’s mental impact(she’s watched me code in an ER)

THE TURNING POINT – ONLY TO FACE EVICTION

After a grueling recovery, I landed a golden opportunity:

Contract-to-hire at a top company (converts to permanent in Nov 2025). Full benefits + livable wage – our ticket to stability

I'm proving myself every single day - arriving early, staying late, and going above expectations. My managers have already noted my dedication, and I'm determined to prove my contributions are unmatched in the department.

BUT THIS WILL ALL BE FOR NOTHING IF…

We’re evicted August 20th → no address = job revoked

Alexandra’s mental health collapses (she’s barely holding on)

We join the homeless 90 days before salvation

HOW YOU CAN SAVE US

Cancel the eviction ($6,500 rent + $1,500 fees)

Protect my job (Alexandra’s future depends on this)

Give my daughter safety (her therapist begs for stability)

Every dollar brings us closer to safety:

$50 from 160 people = our goal met

$20 from 400 people = our goal met

Even $5-10 helps more than you know

PLEASE—donate. I’ll personally thank every donor.

Please—if you can't donate, share this widely. My daughter shouldn't have to pay for my failing health with her home.

With shattered hope,

Sonia Smith
