My name is Kristy Lauricella and I'm raising funds to help a single mother get back on her feet and stay in her apartment.

Carla fell behind on her rent when she needed to take medical leave from her full-time job this past winter due to complications from pregnancy.

Carla returned to work just two weeks after her baby was born (much sooner than she was physically ready for) in order to catch up with her rent and other expenses.

It has gotten to a point where she is in danger of being evicted next week if she does not pay in full. She needs approximately $4,000 more to avoid eviction.

I decided to make our goal $10,000 in order to give Carla a bit more support. Anything over that amount will be used for food, utilities, and other household and medical expenses.

Please give what you can. And if you can't give, please share.
