Hello I am Natalie and I am a single mother of four and we are facing an urgent housing and heating crisis. Our home furnace failed — and now we are without reliable heat. With temperatures already dropping into the 30s in St. Louis and forecasts showing it could reach as low as 9 °F by Saturday, I am doing everything I can to keep my children safe and warm. But the cost of furnace repair or replacement, coupled with the need to move to safer housing, is more than I can manage alone.

At this point I am looking to relocate — but needs help with transportation, moving expenses, and temporary heating supplies.

Please consider donating to help cover:

* Transportation to secure a new, safe home

* Moving expenses and deposits

* Emergency heating and supplies to keep the kids warm

* Basic necessities for us during this critical period

Any contribution — large or small — will help ensure my children and I have a warm, safe place to sleep this winter. Your kindness and support could literally save us from being exposed to dangerously cold conditions. Thank you for standing with my family in this time of need.
