Susan is a devoted mother of two teenagers who has always put her family and community first. When her children needed extra academic support, she made the selfless decision to leave her job and homeschool them, ensuring they received the care and attention they deserved. Susan has also been an active member of her church, volunteering in the Sunday school program and always lending a hand to neighbors and friends. Her kindness is well known—she often shares beautiful bouquets from her garden and homemade treats like syrups, jams, and sauerkraut with those around her. She is the person everyone turns to for a listening ear and heartfelt support.

Recently, Susan has faced an incredibly difficult chapter. She and her children have endured years of domestic violence, and after her son was physically assaulted by her ex-husband, she made the brave decision to file for divorce to protect her children. Now, as the sole provider and caretaker, Susan is carrying the heavy burden of ongoing legal fees while continuing to homeschool her kids. She has already emptied her retirement savings to cover costs, and with upcoming tax payments due, she is at risk of losing her family’s home. Despite these challenges, Susan remains dedicated to her children and continues to support those around her.

This fundraiser is a chance for Susan’s community to rally around her, just as she has always done for others. Every contribution will help cover urgent legal and medical expenses as well as tax payments, giving Susan and her children the stability they need to move forward. Your support will make a real difference for a family that has given so much to others.
