"Stronger Through the Storm: Rebuilding with Forgiveness"

From a Tent to a Cabin — One Step Closer to Stability

Thanks to the incredible kindness of those who have donated, we’ve raised $985.00 — and it has already made a huge difference in our lives.

For the last two weeks, my 17-year-old son and I were staying in a tent, unsure of where we’d sleep next. With your support, we were able to move into a small cabin for a few nights, giving us warmth, safety, and the space to rest and plan our next steps — together.

This journey has reminded us that family is everything, and that we’re not alone. Every share, message, and donation has helped us feel supported during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

Our next goals are to:

Find stable housing

Reunite with our emotional support animals, Milo and Amos

Continue building a safe, peaceful life grounded in love, healing, and forgiveness

Your continued support means more than words can express. We’re hopeful — and we’re moving forward with gratitude.

With love,
Melissa, Elijah, Milo & Amos
