A Single Mother's Promise: Building a Better Tomorrow

Dear friends,

Every parent dreams of giving their children the best possible future. As a single mother of two incredible kids who recently immigrated to the United States, this dream led me to pursue my master's degree – a path that promises to transform our lives.

But today, I'm facing an impossible choice. My student visa restricts me from working during this first crucial academic year, and despite taking on whatever small gigs I legally can, we're falling behind. Two months of overdue rent weighs heavily on my shoulders, and my tuition fees loom large. Without child support, each day becomes a careful balance of stretching every dollar to feed my children while trying to keep our dreams alive.

My children's resilience inspires me daily. They've adapted to a new country, new schools, and new challenges with remarkable courage. Now, I'm gathering my own courage to ask for help in keeping their world stable during this temporary crisis.

Your generosity would help us:

· Secure our housing by catching up on two months of rent

· Continue my education by covering urgent tuition fees

· Bridge our $11,000 shortfall this January

I'm not asking for a handout, but for a bridge to self-sufficiency. My master's degree will open doors to opportunities that will allow me to provide for my family independently. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to stability.

If you're unable to donate, sharing our story would be an incredible gift. Sometimes the right person just needs to hear the right story.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our journey. Your support, in whatever form it takes, means more than words can express.

With deep gratitude,

Tiana, Ryan, and Thea
