Hello, everyone.

As someone who has always worked hard for everything I have, asking for help is extremely difficult for me. I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to reach out like this, but right now I have no other choice.

I’ve had to rebuild my life from scratch before, and I’ve always been willing to put in the work. But lately, life has been overwhelming. I was enrolled in esthetics school—a dream I’ve worked so hard for—but I had to take a leave in September due to financial struggles. Even though my business was slow, I kept pushing because I didn’t want to lose my spot in the 6-month program. I truly believed I had the support I needed to get through it.

Unfortunately, that support wasn’t there, and on top of that, I’ve been dealing with physical, mental, and emotional abuse. It’s taken a toll on me and even caused me to miss a week of work at my new job.

Right now, I am at risk of losing everything—my suite where I do lashes, my car, and even the ability to provide small things for my baby, like new toys. I’ve been through losing everything before, but now that I have my daughter, Divine, it breaks my heart. She doesn’t deserve to go through any of that.

I truly need help. I don’t have family or friends I can lean on right now. Anything—absolutely anything—would help me cover my bills for this month so I don’t lose everything again. It would give me a chance to catch up, breathe for a moment, and keep moving forward for myself and for my daughter.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you in advance for any support you can give. It means more than you know.
