Support Latonya and Her Children in Crisis

Donation protected
My name is Latonya Lucas. I am 43 years old. I have an 11-year-old son and an 8-year-old grandson. On April 1, 2025, I was contacted by my housing entity informing me that on May 31, 2025, I would no longer get housing help because they had experienced cuts in the program by the Federal Government. I was at that point frozen with fear because with 2 children, what was I going to do? I was employed at the time, also going to school to pursue a career in the medical field. Since May, me and my children have been sleeping in the car due to nationwide cuts to all social programs. There aren't even shelters available. I refuse to give up; however, I'm not too prideful and humble enough to say I need help. I'm asking for help with a security deposit and two months' rent so I can get back on my feet for the safety and stability of myself and my children as school is approaching. If you can find help in your heart, that would be life-changing. Me and my family would like to thank all those who support, even if just to share, in advance.
