Hi, my name is Yanicee, and I’m a mother of three from Chicago. I never thought I would be in a situation like this.

After being away for two weeks caring for my sick mother, I came home expecting peace—but instead, I walked into a nightmare. My home had been broken into. Not only were my belongings disturbed, but I found squatters living inside my apartment. They were in my personal space, even in my bed, completely violating my home and my safety.

This wasn’t the first time. Just weeks before, my home was broken into and my daughter’s TV was stolen. Despite everything I’ve been going through, I’ve been trying to stay strong for my children, balance work, and continue nursing school.

Now, my home no longer feels safe. I am dealing with emotional distress, property loss, and the urgent need to secure stable housing for myself and my kids.

This situation has even been covered on the news, and I’m doing everything I can to recover—but I can’t do it alone.

I am asking for help to:

Replace stolen and damaged belongings

Secure a safe place for my children

Cover moving and emergency expenses

Restore a sense of stability for my family

Anything helps, even sharing this story. Thank you for taking the time to read and support us during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

Yanicee ❤️
