Support an Entrepreneur Single Mother in Building a New Life

Donation protected
Hello!! I am raising money for a dear friend who is in need of some support right now.
After leaving an abusive marriage, my friend—a resilient and driven mother of three young children (ages 3, 5, and 7)—has spent the past two years rebuilding her life. Living with her mom, who is unable to fully support the household, she has received no child support and has carried the full weight of caring for her children during a painful transition.

She has been able to find some work through gigs, consulting, and small jobs here and there, but is in need of so much more. She is currently in the process of launching a tech startup but is overwhelmed by bills and the toll of doing it all alone. With limited access to consistent childcare and an unpredictable parenting schedule, she’s juggled low-paying flexible jobs, early-stage entrepreneurship, and side work in modeling and acting—all while being a full-time mother.

She’s now facing several urgent financial burdens, including:

Car repair (currently in the shop): $3,000–$5,000
Car payment: $370/month
Legal fees from the ongoing divorce: $2,000–$4,000
Credit card debt: $15,000
Basic living expenses (gas, groceries, household costs)


She is working relentlessly toward financial independence and is determined to launch her black woman-owned tech startup by the end of the year.

But right now, she’s burnt out, experiencing anxiety and fatigue, and urgently needs a financial bridge to regain stability.

Your support—whether through a donation or offering professional resources—will give her the breathing room to focus on both immediate needs and long-term goals. If you'd like to support her beyond a donation (mentorship, connections, or collaboration), please reach out and I’ll connect you directly.

I deeply want to help her thrive as a mother and entrepreneur, and give her the leg up to build the life she and her children so deeply deserve.
