Hi, my name is Marquevius, and I’m a father doing everything I can to provide for my children. I recently signed a lease, trying to create a stable home for me and my kids. Just one week later, I unexpectedly lost my job.

Now, I’m in a situation I never imagined — I’m behind on rent, struggling to keep the lights on, and barely able to care for my kids the way they deserve. I’ve been applying to jobs nonstop and doing everything in my power to get back on my feet, but time is running out.

I’m asking for help to raise $3,500 to cover:

• Rent and utilities to keep our home

• Food and essentials for my children

• Transportation for job interviews and daily needs

Anything you can give — even a few dollars — makes a difference. And if you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this with others. Your kindness could be the reason we keep our home and find stability again.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and supporting us during this difficult time.
