A Safe New Beginning for Me & My Daughter

Hi, my name is Shaniqua and I’m a mother raising a beautiful 5 year-old daughter in South Carolina. I’ve never made a post like this before, but life has brought me to a moment where I have no choice but to ask for help and trust the power of community.

Recently, my landlord violated my rights multiple times by entering my home without proper notice multiple times. As a woman and a mother, this left me feeling completely unsafe and disrespected in my own home.

After surviving years of emotional trauma, unsafe environments, and toxic dynamics, I’ve made the courageous decision to start fresh. I’m working every day to provide a safe, loving, and peaceful life for my daughter one where she’s surrounded by stability, joy, and emotional security.

Right now, we’re preparing to relocate to the upstate area to rebuild. It’s a new beginning away from dysfunction, survival mode, and cycles of pain that I’ve been working so hard to break. I’ve been doing all I can while juggling work, healing, and motherhood, but I need help to fully step into this next chapter.

I’ve decided to move forward, both literally and emotionally. I’m choosing to leave this situation with dignity and grace. But this transition is not easy. I’m working, raising my daughter, and trying to hold it all together but the cost of relocation, basic needs, and emotional support is more than I can manage alone.

I’m asking for any amount even $1 to help us move into a safe, peaceful space.

If you’re unable to donate, your shares, prayers, and kind words mean everything to me.

Thank you for holding space for me and my daughter in this moment.

With love and gratitude,

Shaniqua
