My name is Marina, I’m 19 years old, and I just graduated from high school on June 10, 2025. I’m proud—but overwhelmed. Without a stable home, my dream of attending community college this spring may slip away. When I was 11, my mom left, and my dad raised five children alone. Since then, we’ve endured three episodes of homelessness: living in our car, staying in a shelter, and enduring foster care for over two years—yet we remained together. In that time, I became a caregiver for my younger siblings and my niece, born just seven months ago. We’ve been in a constant struggle to survive and have fallen behind on rent. I’m terrified of being separated from the ones I care for most. How Your Support Would Help: $8500 will keep our family together and keep us from being evicted. Even sharing this campaign means the world to us. My thank you will never be enough—your kindness can change our lives. Help keep our family safe—and help me pursue the college education that could secure our future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
