We are reaching out during a very difficult time of our lives. In the past couple of years, I have experienced unimaginable loss—my mother passed away, followed closely by my son. The grief was overwhelming, and soon after, I was told I needed to move out of my rental home. Just as my daughter and I found a new place to live, my beloved cat, who had been my last source of comfort, also passed away.

Since then, my daughter and I have been struggling to get back on our feet. The ongoing situation with ICE and safety concerns in our community have made it nearly impossible for me to leave the house. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, and the fear and anxiety have kept me from working. I rely on the kindness of families in our community to help with school drop-offs and donated food. Every day feels like a challenge, and I worry constantly about how I will pay rent and keep the lights on for my daughter.

I am asking for any help or donations to support us during this incredibly hard time. Your generosity will help us cover rent, utilities, groceries, and other basic needs while we work to heal and regain stability. Times like this have shown me how much it matters to have a supportive, kind-hearted community, and I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer.
