Help a Single Mom Keep a Roof Over Her Kids' Heads
Donation protected

Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well during this holiday season. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your support and generosity in a challenging time. My name is Kori Collins, and I am a stay-at-home mom who unexpectedly found herself in a financial crisis when my husband left our home, leaving me to shoulder the burden of our mortgage alone.
The Situation:
As a mother of three wonderful kids, I have embraced the responsibility of homeschooling them while maintaining our home. Unfortunately, circumstances took an unexpected turn when my husband left, leaving me solely responsible for our mortgage. Due to this abrupt change, I find myself two months behind on payments, facing the risk of losing the roof over my children's heads.
Holiday Season Struggles:
I want to be transparent with you about my situation. I have been doing everything I can to make ends meet for my family. This holiday season, I have been resourceful in finding free and low-cost options for gifts to ensure my kids have a memorable and joyful experience. Luxurious spending is not the reason I find myself unable to meet the mortgage payments; rather, it's the sudden financial strain of being the sole provider.
Legal Challenges:
Regrettably, the legal system has failed to hold my soon to be ex-husband accountable for his share of our mortgage obligations. Despite my best efforts, I find myself in this predicament, seeking support from the community to overcome the hurdles placed before me.
How You Can Help:
Your contribution will make an immense difference in my life and the lives of my children. By helping me pay off the two overdue months on my mortgage, you're ensuring that we have a stable home environment to thrive in during these uncertain times. Your support will allow me to start the new year on the right foot as a single mom, providing the security and stability my children need.
I am incredibly grateful for any support you can offer, and I want to express my deepest appreciation for those who choose to contribute during this financially challenging time of the year. Your kindness will not only make a difference in our lives but will also restore my faith in the strength of community and compassion.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea, and I wish you and your loved ones a warm and joyful holiday season.
With gratitude,
Kori and kids (Liam - 16, Angus - 9, and Asa - 1) and our furry family members too
***To be perfectly transparent, each mortgage payment is $1358 including the late fee making the goal $2716. I set a goal for $2800 to account for the fees that will be taken out by go fund me for using their platform. Its not the biggest, most luxurious home but it's our home and we're grateful for the opportunity to keep loving it.
