I’m Tiffany Lawson, a 37-year-old single mother from Fenton. For years, I’ve worked on my feet every day to support my daughter and keep our lives stable. But last month, my health completely collapsed. I was diagnosed with a severe, aggressive form of an autoimmune disease that has temporarily robbed me of my mobility. I went from being fully independent to needing assistance just to stand.

Because I work an hourly retail job, being unable to stand means I have zero income. Our rent is due, the medical bills for specialized treatments are piling up, and I’m staring at an eviction notice. I need $6,200 as an emergency bridge fund to cover our housing and my medication over the next 60 days while the doctors adjust my treatment. I am swallowing my pride because my daughter deserves a safe roof over her head. Please stand with us during our darkest hour. Thank you.
