I'm a mom raising my 8-year-old son, and after losing my job of 18 years, we are now transitioning into homelessness. The hardest part has been losing the home I worked so hard for while trying to keep my son safe and cared for through all of this.

My son was born with MCADD, a rare fatty oxidation disorder, so staying reachable and meeting his basic needs is especially important right now. At this moment, I have no income, no insurance, and no way to cover the essentials we need to get through each day.

Any support will go directly toward the most immediate expenses for us: storage costs, keeping phone service active for my job search and for medical emergencies involving my son, vehicle insurance, and food necessities for him.

I am holding on to hope during this difficult chapter of our lives, but I cannot get through it alone. If you are able to give or share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to us and help us hold on while I work to find stability again.

I've also created Amazon wish list for my son's snacks. His condition requires he eats constantly all day even in class. This is an emergent need for him and a way he can be supported without donating money:
