1. UPDATE: Still working to accomplish this goal. If you are more comfortable donating through other avenues please reach out to me directly and I will provide information. Please continue to pray and please share to those close to you who may be able to help! Thank you for your prayers and contributions.

As a mom and U.S. Air Force veteran, I have always believed that family is built through love, commitment, and showing up when a child needs someone most. I have had permanent custody of my nephew since he was an infant, raising him on my own while working every day despite my own medical challenges.

Now, I am facing another opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life. Most of you know I have raised a little girl since she was just 4 months old. Her mother tragically passed away from an overdose when she was an infant, and her father has fallen on difficult times and is no longer able to care for her. Without someone stepping in, she could enter the foster care system.

She is now six years old, and I cannot bear the thought of her being placed with strangers when she already has experienced so much loss. She is set to start first grade in just two weeks and all of the chaos she is experiencing right now makes this even more urgent for me to get her settled. My goal is to provide her with the safe, stable, and loving home she deserves.

The funds raised will help cover attorney fees for the custody process, clothing, shoes, school and daily necessities, and the additional expenses that come with welcoming another child into our family.

This is not an easy road, but I have done it before, and I am willing to do it again because every child deserves to know they are loved and wanted. If you are able to donate or simply share this fundraiser, your kindness will help give this little girl the chance to grow up in a home filled with stability, compassion, and hope.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can provide.
