Help the Saunders Family Find a Safe Home and Rebuild Their Lives

Displaced by violence. Living in emergency shelter. Fighting for a safe place to call home.

We are the Saunders family.

Not long ago, we had a home in Tacoma, Washington. We had routines, jobs, school, neighbors, pets, and the ordinary things that make a house feel like home.

Then violence changed everything.

After an assault that left Nathaniel injured and our family facing threats to our safety, we were forced to leave the home we had spent years building our life around.

Today, our family is living in emergency shelter while we search for a permanent place to live.

We are working, looking for housing, trying to recover, and doing everything we can to rebuild. But getting into a safe home requires resources we simply do not have right now.

Our long-term recovery goal is $100,000. Our immediate priority is securing stable housing and getting our family safely through this transition.

We are asking for help with:

1. Rental deposits and initial housing costs
2. Rent and utilities during the transition
3. Moving and storage expenses
4. Basic furniture and household necessities
5. Medical and recovery-related expenses
6. School and personal necessities
7. Other essential costs involved in rebuilding our lives

If you can donate, your contribution helps move us closer to a permanent home.

If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser may be just as important. One person may know a landlord. Someone else may know a church, housing advocate, employer, organization, or person who can open a door.

We are not asking people to fix our lives for us.

We are asking for an opportunity to rebuild them.

“All we need is one door to open. We will do the rest.”

Thank you for reading our story, praying for our family, donating if you are able, and sharing our fundraiser with others.
