Hi, my name is Antoinette, and I’m a single mom of two who is really struggling right now and asking for help.

I’ve been out of work due to painful hip inflammation, and even though I’m preparing to go back soon, the time I’ve missed has put me in a very difficult position. I am the only provider for my children—their father has not been involved—and we don’t receive any assistance like food stamps. Every bill, every grocery trip, and every basic need falls on me, and right now it’s more than I can keep up with.

I’m doing everything I can to hold things together for my kids, but I’ve reached a point where I truly need help. I’m trying to raise money for a lawn mower so I can take care of my yard and keep our home in good standing. It may not seem like a big expense, but right now it’s something I simply cannot afford, and not having it is adding even more stress to an already overwhelming situation.

This is hard for me to ask, but any help would mean the world to us. Even a small donation or a share could make a real difference for my family during this time.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any kindness you can offer. It truly means more than I can put into words.
