<div>Hello,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family is going through a very difficult season, and I humbly ask for your prayers and support. It is not easy for me to share this publicly, as I have always been someone who helps others, but at this time I am in genuine need.
</div>
<div>I also want to acknowledge that there are many charities and needs that may be more urgent or deserving, and I completely understand if your resources are directed where you feel they can be most helpful. I do not wish to take away from more dire needs. However, whatever you are able to assist me with through this GoFundMe fundraiser will be put to good use and would bring tremendous relief to my current situation.
</div>
<div>I am facing significant financial hardship due to several challenges.
</div>
<div>Our daughter, Eliana, was diagnosed with a learning challenge. She is currently enrolled in a hybrid learning program, which means we homeschool her three days a week. If the funds were available, we would be able to provide her with the additional educational support and services she needs to truly thrive.
</div>
<div>In 2024, I had an unexpected emergency medical procedure and still carry a balance on that medical bill. I am also enrolled in a program at EMU to strengthen my skills and improve long-term work stability, which comes with additional expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition, I am facing a serious legal matter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount raised would help tremendously. I am trusting and believing God for a miracle during this time.
</div>
<div>Currently, I am working part-time as a High School teacher and part-time substitute teacher with a talent agency, yet despite my efforts, I feel overwhelmed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, my husband made a decision that has deeply impacted our family, and I am praying earnestly that it does not lead to an inevitable outcome.
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any assistance, prayers, or encouragement you are able to offer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May God bless you abundantly in this New Year, 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Emmanuela Shepherd
</div>
