My name is Madison Brockwell, and I need to be honest about where we are right now. I moved my family from Michigan to North Carolina with a close friend, hoping for a fresh start and better circumstances. I truly believed this move would be the answer we needed.

But things haven't improved the way I hoped they would. Our situation has stayed stuck, and we're struggling to keep our footing here without the support system we need most. My family in Michigan has been waiting for us to come home, and honestly, so have we.

Being away from our family has made everything harder. We need them. They need us. And right now, the distance feels like too much to bear when we're already facing so many challenges.

I'm asking for help to make it home to Michigan. This money will help us get back to where our family is, where our roots are, and where we have the people who love us ready to help us rebuild. I believe that being together with our family is what we need to actually move forward.

Thank you for considering our family and for any support you can offer. It means more than you know.
