My name is Wes Erdelack, and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of the Burton family, who I have known for many years. Their mother Sabrina has been working tirelessly to raise her sons Devon (20) and Devonte (14), daughters Jada (24) and Aaliyah (11), and her granddaughter Nivea (1) at their home in Long Island for many years.

The Burtons are now going through a housing crisis -- the family friend from whom they've been renting their home for many years was not making mortgage payments on the house, and now they face imminent eviction as their home has been sold out from under them. Your support would help the Burtons to deal with unexpected and large moving costs, and help them to make a down payment on a new home.

To make matters worse, the family has also been impacted by the government shutdown and the termination of SNAP benefits -- your support would also help the family put food on the table until food assistance is restored.
