Hi, my name is Michelle and I’m reaching out for support as I take a big step forward for me and my kids. After some time away, we are moving back to the city, where we have close friends and a community that feels like home. My children will be able to return to their old school, surrounded by people who care about us, where we feel safe and connected.

This move is about giving my kids and myself a fresh start in a place where we can thrive. I’m leaving a difficult situation behind and, while I would like to keep the details private, I hope you’ll understand that this is for our well-being. As a stay-at-home mom for nearly 7 years, I haven’t had the chance to build up much savings, so this fundraiser will help with moving expenses such as gas, a portion of the security deposit, and basic necessities as we get settled.

I do not expect to reach the full amount through this fundraiser, but truly any little bit helps. Every bit of support will add up and help me and my children as we start this new chapter. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for any help you can give, no matter how small. Your kindness means the world to us now and forever.
