Rebuild Samantha and Kyrie’s Lives

This is EXTREMELY vulnerable of me & I’m not sure how long I’ll feel comfortable keeping this up, so thank you in advance for your time if you see this & read it.

Hi,

I’m Samantha (Mantha, Mantha-Poo, Sam, etc) and this post is to help my daughter Kyrie and I rebuild our lives as Lupus has taken everything we knew. The funds I receive will go towards bills that are past due, housing as we are essentially homeless right now, food for us, clothing (especially for Kyrie) and both of our medical bills. I am currently in the middle of 6 surgeries, on top of being treated for multiple chronic illnesses. I have on average 3/4 appointments a week. Lupus has attacked almost all organs. My brain, lungs, heart, kidneys, gut and eyes. I also am diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and working on a MS diagnosis.

In December 2023, I became 100% disabled out of nowhere. To the point I was unable to take a single step. My mother had to live with me so I could be taken care of, as well as having the help for my daughter. We have been living out of our car essentially since August 2024 due to the fact I had to quit working April 2024 and eventually ran out of savings. In August 2024, we lost our home due to me having to stay on unpaid medical leave to continue my Lupus treatment. We have lost all furniture, Kyrie’s toys, 90% of our clothes, and a TON of personal items we will never see again. The items you see in the storage unit, are gone. So, we are starting from scratch with only a handful of clothes.

I have primarily been on my own since the age of 17. I am now 33, and have had our world completely turned upside down due to an illness I cannot seem to get ahold of. This is not something I would do, but I am to a point that I may lose the few things we DO have left. I am to a point I never saw coming, so here’s to trusting God/the process/and everything in between! We got this!

If you aren’t able to donate, thank you for reading and we send you SO much love. Thank you for the kind words if you have reached out. I apologize I haven’t gotten ahold of all of this mentally yet. Kyrie and I are still adjusting.

EDIT: I am working on disability as we speak. I had hope I would find some “normalcy” this last year, but I am now out of options & working on disability. These are for emergency funds while I work on getting approved for disability.
