Help Candy Make It Through This Month

Hi, I’m Candy. I’m 36 and doing everything I can to rebuild after losing almost everything.

I was born in Congo and lost my dad when I was just 4. As the middle child and only daughter, I learned early how to survive without a safety net. No backup plan, just faith, grit, and people depending on me.

A year ago, I had a job, a car, and a sense of stability. Then everything changed. My car was stolen. I lost my job, and I stretched my savings as far as I could. Now I’m 3 months behind on rent, with June becoming the 4th. I'm facing eviction.

I’ve applied to dozens of jobs and started a small mug business to stay afloat. I even made my first sale. It bought me a meal and a bit of hope.

I’m trying to raise money to avoid eviction, cover food and hygiene essentials, and afford transport while I try to get back on my feet.

This isn’t easy to share. I was raised to figure things out on my own. But today, I’m at a point where I need help, and I hate that I’ve run out of options.

If you’ve ever felt like the ground disappeared under you, I hope this speaks to you.

A little support can mean everything.

With love,

Candy <3
