Hello
My name is Taralynn Booker and l am a single mother of four from New Jersey. I have 1 son & 3 daughters. My eldest child, my 22 y/o son, is autistic and transitioning into adulthood, which has been a lot for him. My girls are ages 19, 14 & 10. My 14 y/o has ADHD and after a experiencing a rough school year last year which she had to repeat, I am proud to say she is doing extremely better considering our circumstances. I am reaching out for help for my children and I, so that we can have a fresh start. Five years ago I left an abusive relationship and my kids and I moved back in with my parents at their request. After a lot of prayer and therapy I begin to rebuild a new life us. Than life threw it's first curve ball at us. I lost my best friend aka my father after a year long fight  to colon cancer on November 14th,2022. Devastating would be an understatement of how the loss rocked our family. As we tried to move forward our world was once again rocked by the loss of my one & only big sister on February 15,2023 to breast cancer. I was totally blindsided by her passing due to not learning of her diagnosis until after her death. Three months following my fathers funeral her cancer spread rapidly from her breast to her brain. My poor mother feel into a deep depression after losing my father & sister(her 1st born). Our family solemnly pressed forward and tried our best to adjust to our "new normal" despite the deep pain we felt. Everyday I put got up and still tried my best to show up and be strong for my children, my mother and my little brother(10 yr younger than me). I watched as my mom began to sink deeper and deeper into depression. She began getting sick, with hospital stays happening every other month. We lost my mother June 14th,2024 to complications relating to heart failure. I believe she passed from a broken heart. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around everything. In five years I went from a five person family (dad,mom,sister,me& my little brother), to sitting my mother's graveside with just my brother and I. I would've never imagined at age 41 not having my parents or my big sister anymore. Mind-blowing. I fell into a deep depression after losing my mother. By the grace of God I just keep going. I'm all my children have and they are all I have, so i can't give up. I was laid off two months ago. Anything is appreciated and even if you can't donate to me please keep us in your prayers. 

Thank you & God bless
