My name is Marie, and I am the caretaker for my disabled husband, a mother to two wonderful children, a full-time culinary student, and I work for DoorDash to try and make ends meet. Every day, I do my best to juggle all these responsibilities, but lately, it’s been overwhelming. The pressures of caring for my family, keeping up with my studies, and working have started to pile up. My house is a mess, my health has become an afterthought, and trying to cook and care for my loved ones is getting harder to manage.

I am reaching out because I need help. The funds raised will go toward getting support with cleaning my home, mowing the lawn, and providing extra care for my husband. I am also hoping to find trustworthy childcare for my children during the summer so I can focus on my studies and health. Your support will help me regain some balance and give my family the care and attention they deserve.

I am extraordinarily grateful to anyone who can help, whether it’s through a donation or by sharing my story. More than anything, I am looking for kindness, understanding, and a helping hand. Thank you for taking the time to read my story—bless you, and may you go forward with love and kindness.
