Other Side

Hello my name is Eric Bridges, also known as Other Side, and I am starting this GoFundMe for Sije to help her and her daughter. I first met Sije on the streets of Overtown Miami and I have witnessed her completely turn her life around from someone who never thought they would get off the streets to now living in sobriety and having a daughter who is the love of her life. Sije is now 1 year and 4 months clean and fully committed to building a better life for herself and her daughter, Leila. Leila, who is 6 months old, is everything to Sije. She is a loving, present, and dedicated mother who has worked hard to break the cycle and create a stable future for her child. Her sobriety is not just for herself, it’s for her daughter, and she takes that responsibility seriously every single day. With the help of previous support, Sije was able to secure an apartment, giving them a safe place to live. Now, she is in the next phase of her journey: finding stable employment and becoming fully self-sufficient. This GoFundMe is to help support Sije and Leila during this transition period while she actively searches for work. The goal is to ease the financial pressure so she can stay focused on maintaining her sobriety, caring for her daughter, and securing a steady income. Recovery is not easy, but Sije has proven her strength and commitment. She is doing everything she can to move forward and create a better life. Any support means more stability for both her and Leila as she continues on this path. 100% of donations will go to Sije. Thank you for being part of her journey.

Kookie is a mother doing her best to care for her two year old daughter while living on and off the streets. Like many families experiencing homelessness, her situation is not the result of one single event, but a series of setbacks combined with limited support. At times, Kookie has been able to find temporary shelter, but stability has been hard to maintain. Without consistent housing, childcare support, or reliable resources, even small obstacles quickly become overwhelming. Her biggest concern is creating a safer, more stable environment for her daughter during these early and critical years. This fundraiser is meant to help Kookie get back on her feet and move toward stability. Donations will go toward basic necessities such as temporary housing, food, clothing, transportation, and expenses related to caring for her child while she works to reconnect with longer term support and resources. Kookie’s story is a reminder that homelessness can happen to families, not just individuals, and that children are often the most affected. Any support, whether through donating or sharing, helps give this mother and child a better chance at stability and security. Thank you for taking the time to read and for any support you are able to offer. Funds will be used for: Temporary housing or motel stays Food, diapers, basic necessities Transportation Emergency expenses related to the child

Hello everyone, My name is Eric Bridges with the Other Side channel. Many of you may remember Kaylee from her story that touched so many hearts. At just 19 years old, she faced homelessness and unimaginable challenges. Recently she was able to reconnect with her birth family and is now living in Georgia. Kaylee finally has a roof over her head and is surrounded by loved ones, but she is still struggling financially as she looks for steady work and hopes to continue her schooling. She is determined to rebuild her life, overcome her past difficulties, and create a brighter future for herself. The funds raised here will go directly toward Kaylee’s everyday needs such as groceries, bills, transportation, and other basic expenses that will give her stability while she works to get back on her feet. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign so others can help support Kaylee’s journey forward. Thank you for showing her that she is not alone.
