Help a Family of Young Artists Rebuild and Replace Everything During the Holidays
---
The holidays are meant for joy, family, and celebration. But for my children and me, this season has been filled with fear, chaos, and heartbreak.
I am a mother fighting to protect my incredible young artists — my children — after a year of unimaginable trauma caused by the agencies Path and Communidad Cesar Chavez family shelter that were supposed to help us.
Instead of safety, my family has endured:
Forced expulsion
Dangerous, last-minute moves during storms, with no safety precautions
Total loss of personal belongings and work equipment — art supplies, instruments, cameras, $1,000 speaker, baby strollers, and merchandise we use to make a living and our family van
Constant relocation 1–2 hours away from school and activities, leaving my children to navigate public transit alone
Humiliation and harassment, including being publicly forced out of hotel rooms and having private belongings exposed
My children are performers and artists. One of them is in a huge holiday production rehearsing long, grueling hours — but I cannot support them properly because we are constantly uprooted.
The instability has already harmed their schooling, grades, and emotional well-being. We urgently need stability and help replacing everything we lost.
We are asking for your support to:
Replace all destroyed belongings, including clothing, art supplies, instruments, cameras, and other personal items
Provide daily necessities and transportation while we rebuild
Raise funds for a family van so my children can safely get to school, rehearsals, and activities
Secure a new, stable home where my family can finally have safety, routine, and peace
This holiday season, we are asking for a gift of hope. Your support can give my children the stability they deserve and the chance to continue pursuing their incredible artistic talents.
Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to safety, stability, and a future where my children can thrive.
Please stand with us. Help a family of young artists rebuild, replace everything they’ve lost, and celebrate the holidays with hope.
