Support Heather's Family in Their Time of Need

My name is Heather Butler. I am a single mom of 7, taking care of 5 kids, 4 under 4: Liam (4), Zyden (2), Lilly, and Tyler (2). My kids and I have struggled over the last year. I escaped an abusive marriage a little over a year ago. I typically work really hard every day. However, since I had to let my nanny go in March, I haven't been able to work my normal hours, and we have struggled to keep our bills paid. We've applied for TANF and other organizations designed to help pay bills but have been denied for one reason or another.

I am now trying to move my family from Las Vegas to out of state, somewhere the cost of living is cheaper. I need coverage for most of this month and next to get covered for rent along with moving expenses. Las Vegas no longer feels like a safe place for my family and me. I just want to be able to provide and live without fear with my kids. I have had very little support since I left my ex-husband. I have struggled most of my life with my mental health and PTSD. I am just trying to get back on my feet in a new city so my kids can thrive.

My 4 youngest children are all special needs with autism, and one with cerebral palsy. So they require specialized care with many therapists, which they love. I've been blessed to make it this far; I just need a little more help achieving our goal to cover my rent and move out of Vegas by the end of my lease, September 30th. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
