Hello, my name is Yaniya Fraser. I am new mother to a beautiful 6 month old baby girl and she has been the biggest blessing in my life outside of my wonderful husband. Unfortunately, I am in a difficult position outside of my new family. My siblings are a part of an ongoing battle due to their mother not wanting the responsibility of raising them anymore. I grew up with these children. Two sisters, one being 16, one being 10. I also have a young brother age 9. I have been working with Alabama DHR to keep them in my life and close to the people that love and want them around, them being so young, they aren’t aware of what’s really going on and what could potentially happen here very soon. Me being their older sister, I do not want to see my siblings fall into a broken system and have them lose connection not only to me, but those that actually love and want the best for them. It breaks my heart every day knowing they are at risk of being lost in the system forever, and their mother not caring to change her lifestyle to give these kids their mother back. It is practically set in stone that if I cannot relocate to a bigger living space, I will not be able to collect them and they will be sent off somewhere that I won’t be able to see or speak with them, for God knows how long. I cry every night looking for a solution to save my siblings who grew up with no real role models, and a deceased father. My husband works a consistent job, and I take every work from home opportunity I can get, but we simply cannot come up with the funds to move to a bigger apartment or home. We are seeking these funds to allow me and my husband to save these innocent children from ending up with any given stranger, and away from their older sister possibly forever. It is genuinely sad that I’m having to make this cry for help, but their own mother could care less, and that’s just not fair. These children didn’t ask to be here, to live this life, but they are here. They don’t deserve to be thrown to the wolves to just anyone that could harm them or their development. Please help me and my husband save my siblings. We are aiming to be their permanent home and foster parents. If it was your brothers/sisters, would you not do everything in your power to make sure they had a safe and secure place to lay their head with people they know and love? Thank you for reading my story, and hearing my voice when others wouldn’t.
