Hello,My name is Tricia. I am a mother to 10 wonderful children and a grandmother. After a long and difficult marriage that left me financially devastated, I am finding myself at a place in life where I should be resting and enjoying the years I worked so hard for—but instead, I am having to start over as if I am 18 again. Over the last year, I have done everything I could to create stability for my family. I have: • Sold furniture and household goods • Launched a small t-shirt shop • Applied for every certification I could, including minister’s, food handler’s, and beverage licenses • Worked side jobs to make sure my children were fed.
While I believe in my abilities and my dreams—including opening a food business that will succeed—these things take time to grow, and I need help to get through this immediate crisis. The situation at home has escalated to a level that is no longer safe or sustainable. While I won’t share every detail here, please know this: We are living in an environment that feels like a prison. There is no support, no contribution, and no care for our family’s well-being from the person still in the home. I am responsible for everything: food, housing, bills, emotional care—and it has reached a breaking point. I want to thank every person who has already helped us. What you have given has kept us going—truly. I am so grateful for every bit of support, every share, every kind message. But we are still in urgent need of help to cover rent, essential bills, and the costs of starting over safely. If you have ever wondered what you could do to make a difference, this is that moment. Every donation, every share, every word of encouragement matters. Thank you for seeing me and believing in my story.
