After 20 years as a flight attendant with Spirit Airlines, I suddenly found myself without a job when the company closed its doors. I’ve always worked hard and lived paycheck to paycheck, but I was counting on my next check to pay my mortgage and keep my home. I have no debt, but this unexpected loss of income has left me in a very difficult position.

The past two years have been full of personal and financial challenges, but I managed to turn my life around and was finally starting to get ahead. Now, I’m facing the reality of needing help to make ends meet. The funds raised will go directly toward paying my mortgage this month, and if I need to sell my home and relocate, they will help with moving expenses and small projects to prepare for the transition.

It’s not easy for me to ask for help. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and I do as much as I can on my own, but right now I need a little extra support. I appreciate everyone’s kindness and generosity during this difficult time. Your support means more to me than I can say.
