Support for a Mother & Her Children in the Wake of Tragedy

Hi everyone,

I never imagined I'd be in a position where I'd need to ask for help, but my life- and my children's lives - were turned upside down in an instant. My former partner, the father of two of my children and a father figure to my oldest, was recently arrested for a crime that has deeply affected our family. The betrayal and devastation have been unimaginable and in the midst of processing this trauma, I am also faced with the reality of how drastically our lives have changed overnight.

He was our sole source of income, which has left me scrambling to find a way to provide for my children while I finish my degree. Our immediate needs include covering bills, medical expenses for my children, purchasing items to create a safe and comforting space for my children as we heal, and ensuring we have the stability to move forward.

I graduate in May, and I am determined to build a future where we no longer have to rely on anyone but ourselves. But right now, we need help getting through this incredibly difficult transition. Any support - whether financial or simply sharing this page - means the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time.
