Help Us Find Home for Our Family

Help Me Give My Four Daughters a Safe and Stable Home

Last April, my life changed forever. I lost both of my parents just ten days apart. The grief was overwhelming, and I completely shut down. In the midst of that heartbreak, I lost my home, which resulted in an eviction on my credit. With nowhere else to turn, I was forced to move my family into a hotel room.

I am a single mother of four amazing girls, and for an entire year, we have been living together in one room.

I have done everything I can to change our circumstances. Every day, I make phone calls, search for resources, and ask for help finding stable housing. Unfortunately, I am constantly being told that there are no resources available for our particular situation.

The financial burden has made it incredibly difficult to save enough money to move. We are paying $610 every single week just to have a place to stay. By the time we cover that expense and our basic needs, there is almost nothing left to put toward a security deposit and rent.

This situation is also beginning to take a serious toll on my health. Yesterday, I was diagnosed with level-two hypertension. I know now that the stress and uncertainty of our situation are affecting me not only emotionally, but physically.

My biggest fear is failing my girls. They deserve a safe place to call home, a place where they can sleep comfortably, do their homework, have their own space, and simply feel secure. School has started and as their mother, it breaks my heart to feel like I haven’t been able to give them the stability they deserve.

I am asking for help with first month’s rent and a security deposit so that I can finally get my family into a home. Because of the eviction from last year, I have been told that I may have to pay an additional deposit, making the amount I need even harder to reach.

I am doing everything I can to keep my family together and move forward. I am trying to remain faithful, obedient, and a servant of God through all of this, but I won’t pretend that it has been easy.

We have made it this far by God’s grace, and I am praying that He continues to make a way for us.

If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, please know that you are helping give four little girls something they desperately need: a safe and stable place to call home. If you cannot donate, sharing our story would mean just as much to us.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read our story, pray for us, share our fundraiser, or help in any way you can. Your kindness could change the lives of my entire family.
