Sometimes the strongest people are the ones silently struggling the most.

I never thought I would be in a position where I had to ask people for help, but here I am. I’m a mother of two, a nursing student, and a daughter watching my mom fight cancer. I have been trying so hard to keep everything together, but honestly, I’m struggling.

After losing my job and my transportation, everything started falling apart financially. I’m now facing eviction, struggling to keep food in the house, and trying to figure out how to make it through each day while still showing up for my children and keeping up with nursing school.

It’s hard admitting that I don’t have groceries. It’s hard knowing that I’m behind on rent and could lose our home. It’s even harder trying to stay strong when I feel like I’m carrying so much at once.

I don’t want to give up on nursing school. I’ve worked too hard to get here, and I want to give my children a better life. Right now, though, my biggest concern is making sure they have food, a safe place to sleep, and the basic things every child deserves.

I’m asking for help because I genuinely need it. Whether it’s $5, $10, sharing this fundraiser, or simply keeping my family in your thoughts, anything would mean more than I can explain.

I’m not expecting anyone to fix my life. I’m just hoping for a little kindness and a helping hand while I try to get back on my feet.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read, donate, or share. I truly appreciate it more than you know.
