Hello, I am Vanessa. I am a wife and a mother of three living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am trying to raise money to save my house. Three years ago my little brother died, and this loss caused me to spiral into a major depressive episode that put my family in a bad position. This depressive episode led me to take a sabbatical from my job where I was making $65,000 a year.

Since that time, I have been working to rebuild every part of my life piece by piece. I have been focusing on my mental health, repairing relationships where I can, and doing everything in my power to regain stability for myself, my husband and my kids. It has not been a quick or easy process, but with the grace of God, I have stayed committed to moving forward.

Financially, the impact of stepping away from my career combined with everything else that followed has put me in a position I never imagined I would be in. I am now facing the reality of losing my home. To me, this is not just a financial setback but its the place where we have built our lives, and where I have been trying to rebuild after everything we’ve been through.

I am asking for help because I have reached a point where I cannot do this alone. I am working on getting back on my feet and rebuilding my income, but right now I need help to get through this. I am trying to keep my home and keep things stable for my family.

Anything helps. Even just sharing this means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give.
