My Story
Hello, my name is Mica (pronounced My-kuh). I’m 31 years old and the proud mother of two amazing little boys, Metta (5) and River (2). Today, with a heavy heart, I am reaching out for help to keep a roof over our heads and stability in my children’s lives.
Today, on August 21, 2025, I was served with an eviction notice for the home my children and I have worked so hard to secure. I am desperately trying to keep us here, in the only safe and stable environment my sons know. This home represents everything I’ve prayed for day and night: safety, security, and a fresh start.
My Journey So Far
Since December 2024, I’ve fought tirelessly to build a stable foundation for my family. Shit has been so hard, but with God’s grace and my determination:
- I secured a job to support us.
- In March 2025, I purchased our very first vehicle after relying on my aunt’s car.
- My 5-year-old, who was behind academically, blossomed after finally being enrolled in daycare and VPK. Currently in kindergarten.
- In May 2025, after months of battling paperwork and court filings, I moved into our very first apartment. I refused to falsify anything or cut corners—I did everything the right way because I wanted to teach my children integrity and perseverance.
All of these milestones came with sacrifice, but they gave my boys a chance to thrive.
The Struggles We Face
I am doing this all alone. Their father has chosen not to be present financially, physically, or emotionally. Since December, he has contributed a total of only about $300, despite coaching other people’s kids in basketball while avoiding responsibility for his own. (Must be nice)
Everyday expenses have been overwhelming: rent, car note, car insurance, childcare, gas, food, electricity, medical visits, and even fees for my son’s private Christian school where I want him to grow in God’s foundation.
On top of this, my 5-year-old is in urgent need of dental surgery for two teeth that must be removed this month before his pediatric dentist stops accepting our insurance. He is often in pain at school, and his teacher has been praying with him through the day.
As a single mother, I’ve stretched myself thin. The boys have frequently been sick from school/daycare, and each absence means lost income from missed work. I don’t have a strong support system—my aunt and mom help when they can, but they live far away and have their own responsibilities.
Why I’m Asking for Help
I never imagined myself here, writing this, but as the saying goes: CLOSED MOUTHS DON'T GET FED. I am facing the very real possibility of losing everything I’ve prayed for, worked for, and built from nothing. The exhaustion of holding it all together—while pretending everything is fine for my children—has been unbearable.
But I refuse to give up. I refuse to abandon my children or let all of our progress be taken away. My faith has been shaken, but it is not gone.
How You Can Help
Your support could be the reason my children and I get to stay in our home and continue building on the stability we’ve fought so hard for. Any contribution—no matter how small—will go directly toward:
- Preventing our eviction and paying rent
- Covering childcare so I can keep working
- Paying urgent medical costs for my son’s dental surgery
- Keeping up with basic needs: car, food, utilities, and school fees
If God puts it in your heart to help, please know that every prayer, share, and donation means the world to us. You would not just be helping me—you would be blessing the lives of two little boys who deserve safety, love, and stability.
Thank you for reading our story, and may God bless you for your kindness.
