Support Jennine Avila's Family in Crisis

Urgent Help Needed: Keeping My Home & Family Afloat After Sudden Income Loss

My name is Jennine Avila, and I am reaching out during what has become the most challenging period of my life. My 2 children, 3 granddaughters, and I are facing the very real possibility of losing our home and our stability, and we desperately need your support.

The Crisis We're Facing

Just last December 7th, my family's life took an unexpected and devastating turn. My husband, who was the sole provider for our household, had to leave the country for a crucial resident visa interview. Tragically, his visa was denied, and as a result, we suddenly lost our entire household income.

To compound this already dire situation, unfortunately, it is difficult for me to work due to medical conditions that make it incredibly difficult to maintain consistent employment. This has left me and my family in an extremely vulnerable position with no immediate source of income. We've tried to manage as best we can until now. I've secured medical insurance for myself, and we're receiving help with food stamps, but these only cover a fraction of our essential needs.

Our Immediate Needs

The financial impact of losing our sole income has been overwhelming.

We recently faced the threat of foreclosure on our home, and to avoid losing it entirely, I had to enter into a loan modification. Due to current high interest rates, our monthly mortgage payment has now surged to nearly $1,800. This increased payment, combined with no income, has made our situation critically urgent.

My fundraising goal of $18,000 will provide a vital lifeline, covering our most basic and essential expenses until October 2025:

* Mortgage Payments: To keep a roof over our heads and prevent foreclosure after the increased loan modification payment.

* Utility Bills: To keep our lights on, water running, and home heated/cooled.

* Car Insurance & Gas: Crucial for transportation, especially for my granddaughters, my disabled adult son, and my own doctor's appointments, which are essential for managing our medical conditions.

* Household Essentials: Funds for hygiene products, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and other necessities that cannot be covered by food stamps.

Why Your Help Matters

This isn't just about finances; it's about providing stability and a safe environment for my family during an incredibly uncertain time. Losing our home would be a devastating blow on top of everything else we've endured. Your generosity would alleviate immense stress and allow us to focus on rebuilding our lives and securing our future.
