My family is facing an incredibly challenging time right now. My husband, Jamal, has had to step away from work to be with his 8 year old daughter, Peyton, who was just recently diagnosed with brain cancer. As she begins her treatment journey, Jamal is by her side, supporting her through the uncertainty and the first steps of this difficult process. Meanwhile, being almost five months pregnant and currently the only one working to support our family.

With Jamal stepping away from work, it has become nearly impossible for us to keep up with our essential expenses. We are struggling to cover rent, utilities, groceries, and the daily needs of our household. On top of everything, we also have other children who depend on us for stability and support. The financial strain is overwhelming, and my income alone is not enough to cover bills and provide for everyone during this time.

We are reaching out for help so we can keep a roof over our heads, food on the table, and ensure our children are cared for while Jamal focuses on his daughters health. Any support will help us get through this uncertain period and allow us to focus on what matters most—our family and Peyton’s recovery.
