About this fundraiser

I'm trying to help a friend who is a hardworking woman, a devoted mother, and someone with one of the biggest hearts I know. I have personally watched her go out of her way to help people who are struggling, whether they needed emotional support, someone to listen to them, financial help, or even physical help. She has been the person people turn to when they need someone, and time and time again, she has found a way to be there for others, even when she was struggling herself. She has sacrificed her own needs to make sure someone else was okay. Now, I feel like it is our turn to be there for her.

She is a single mother raising two children. One is school-aged, while her other child is currently attending college and still needs her support. On top of being a mother, she is also the sole caregiver for her elderly father, who has recently been in and out of the hospital multiple times. She is trying to be everything to everyone, amom, daughter, provider, caregiver, and the person everyone can count on, while still getting up every day and going to work to provide for her family.

Recently, she also had to face losing her vehicle to repossession. Losing reliable transportation has made an already overwhelming situation even harder. She still has to get to work, take care of her children, care for her father, handle everyday responsibilities, and somehow keep everything together.
