Dear friends,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart during a very challenging time for our family. My husband, who is currently serving in the military, will be away for the next 5 1/2 months. We had set aside money to help us through this time apart, but unfortunately, our car unexpectedly broke down and the cost of repairs has taken nearly all of the funds we had reserved for our living expenses.

With limited resources left, we are struggling to make ends meet, especially when it comes to purchasing basic necessities like diapers, wipes, and household essentials for our family. I have been actively searching for both full-time and part-time work, with a focus on remote opportunities, but even with childcare assistance, the cost of care would consume a large portion of my potential income.

This situation has been incredibly tough, both financially and emotionally. I’m also dealing with depression and anxiety as I try to navigate these stressors while preparing for the months ahead without my husband’s presence.

If you are able and willing to offer any support, whether financial or through resources that could help our family during this time, it would mean the world to us. I will be forever grateful for any kindness extended our way.

Thank you so much for your time, support, and understanding.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Chantel
