Kanika is my good friend and coworker, and I’ve known her for over 10 years. She’s been a dedicated part of our restaurant team for 11 years, always working hard to support her family. Recently, Kanika’s life changed when she became the sole caregiver for her two young sons, both of whom are autistic.

To make sure her boys can attend their vital speech and occupational therapy appointments, Kanika had to step down from her manager position. This means she’s now earning much less, but she’s doing everything she can to be there for her children. As a single mother with no childcare assistance, she’s facing a lot of challenges, but she continues to put her sons’ needs first every day.

The costs of therapy, rent, and groceries are adding up quickly, and Kanika needs our help to keep her family stable and her boys on track with their care. Please consider supporting Kanika and her sons during this difficult time. Any help you can give will make a real difference for their family.
