Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

I’m reaching out with a humble heart and a hopeful spirit. As a single parent of two amazing kids, I’ve done everything I can to provide for my little family—working three jobs and doing my best to stay afloat in California. But the rising cost of living has made it impossible to keep up, and it’s taken a toll on my time, energy, and ability to be truly present for my children.

After a lot of thought and sleepless nights, I’ve made the difficult but necessary decision to relocate. We’ll be moving out of California to start fresh in a place where I have the support of family and friends in Pennsylvania and New York. My oldest daughter, Rylee, and I will be staying and visiting with loved ones as we get settled and begin this next chapter. My youngest daughter, Maria, will come with us for the first few weeks, then I will fly her back to California where she will live with her dad full-time.

I’m asking for a bit of help to get us there. I’ll be driving my car across the country and renting a van with the help of my dear friend Brian, who has generously offered to make the trip with me. Any contributions would go toward travel expenses like the rental van, gas, food, and hotel stays along the way.

This move represents a new beginning for me and my children—a chance to be closer to family, to find stability, and to create a life with more balance and peace. If you’re able to donate or share our GoFundMe, it would mean the world to us.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for supporting us as we take this big step forward.

With gratitude,

Kalyn Gaboury
