My name is Erica and I'm reaching out for help. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me. I'm trying so hard to make ends meet and keep my head above water but this is getting to be alot...

I work full time, go to school, and juggle two jobs. I’m also preparing to raise my grandchild because my daughter is facing serious mental health challenges, including schizophrenia and depression. That means I’ll be caring for a newborn while still supporting my two daughters and working. I need help. I'm exhausted.

I’ve tried everything: budgeting, side gigs, payment plans, outreach. I’ve contacted organizations, and launched this fundraiser. But I’m still falling short. The silence around it hurts. I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, and still holding on to hope.

Your support will help me:

Catch up on rent

Cover transportation and basic living costs

Pay over due bills with turn off notices.

Even a small donation helps. And if you can’t give, sharing this page means everything. I’m not asking for luxury just a place where my grandbaby can sleep without fear, and where I can finally exhale.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. I’m doing everything I can to protect my family’s future, and I’m grateful for any help you can offer.

With love, Erica Stigall
