URGENT UPDATE – November 23, 2025

We just received another gift and are now at **$440 raised**

→ Only **$1,660** left to fully winter-proof the kids and the car.

Dad’s Armored Ascent – Winter Fortress Phase (Survival, Not Ritual)

I’m Christopher, single dad to Irene, Justina, and Seraphim in the snowy hills of Richfield Springs, NY. Federal budget freezes, skyrocketing heating costs, and an early polar-vortex forecast forced an immediate pivot: we need safe winter travel and warm clothes **right now** so the kids never have to worry if the car will start or the house will stay warm.

Immediate $2,100 Fortress (every dollar goes here first)

• $1,200 – Commercial-grade winter tires + transmission service + undercoating for our 2017 Honda Fit (rural gravel + salt roads destroy regular tires)

• $600 – Full winter coats, boots, and gloves for all three kids

• $300 – Emergency food & household supplies

Current progress (live as of this moment)

Raised: **$440**

Still needed: **$1,660**

$12/month recurring gifts (“Month Manna”) are live — choose “monthly” on the donation page. Steady support like this is pure gold for stability.

Anything past $2,100 flows to the Luminous Horizon:

• Twin beds for the girls

• Irene’s dental care (grants in progress, we’re bridging the rest)

Courts see the structure. The kids feel the safety. You make both possible.

Thank you for helping us turn frost into fortress before the lake freezes solid.

With deep gratitude from the hills,

Christopher, Irene, Justina, Seraphim
