Hi, it’s Erin. As many of you know, Eden’s dad 

abruptly left in early August. He and I were together for 18 years and married for fourteen years. Since this happened, I have had 

help from dear friends and family. Eden and I have been able to stay in the house she has called home since she was two years old. Upon hearing of her dad’s decision, I immediately got a great job at Eden’s school. I have had to halt my baking business while I secure consistent income.  I am currently seeking another job asap to cover our expenses. Child support has not been settled yet and I am waiting for payment. To be sure that Eden and I are stable, I’m asking for help to get us through February. I need $7000 to cover our rent and basic expenses. Part of this money will help me to continue to sell my baked goods to The Del Oro Theatre and to sell directly to customers during the holiday season. I expect to have additional income and child support in the new year. If you or friends are in a comfortable position to help, she and I would greatly appreciate the support. Please share this post.  We are doing everything we can to brush ourselves off and embrace our new definition of family. Thanks so much.
