Single mom of 6 struggling to keep us afloat.

Hi everyone,

My name is MacKenzie, and I’m a single mom of six amazing kids. In October, I gave birth to twins, and to no fault of my amazing twins, their father stepped out of the picture. Since then, it has been a daily struggle to provide for my children.

I do work, and we receive food assistance, but the reality is that my income barely stretches far enough to cover rent (nearly $1,000/month), utilities, childcare, and now the added expense of formula for two newborns. Every dollar seems to be spoken for before it even reaches my hands, and I often find myself having to choose between bills and basic needs.

I’ve always believed it takes a village to raise children, and right now I truly need mine. Anything you can contribute—whether it’s $5, $10, or even just sharing this page—would go directly toward keeping a roof over our heads, formula in the bottles, and the lights on while I work to build a more stable future for my family.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting. Your kindness means more than words can say.

—MacKenzie, Aubree, Jameson, Octavia, Saylor, Foster & Fallon
