Single Mom Caring for Autistic Child in Crisis

Single Mom Caring for Autistic Child in Crisis — Please Help Tina Stay Afloat

Story:

Hi, my name is Tina Breyfogle, and I’m a single mother to a bright, beautiful, and deeply loved child who lives with severe Autism. We are currently going through one of the most challenging times in our lives, and I’m reaching out with a humble heart to ask for your support.

Since January, I’ve been unable to work because my child was suspended from school following an aggressive episode involving a teacher. As any parent of a child with special needs knows, these moments are heartbreaking and complex — and there are no easy solutions. Without access to school or proper care, I’ve had no choice but to stay home full-time to ensure my child is safe and supported.

We don’t have family nearby or a support system to lean on. I’ve been doing my best to keep things together, but the bills are piling up fast, and we’re now at serious risk of losing our home.

I’m asking for help with:

• Rent and utilities to avoid eviction and keep our home stable

• Car expenses so we can attend essential medical and therapy appointments

• Groceries and gas to meet our basic everyday needs

Every dollar, every share, every kind word truly makes a difference. Your support will help us find stability, access resources, and continue working toward the care my child desperately needs.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and for considering supporting us during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

Tina Breyfogle
