Help a Resilient Mother Rebuild After Life's Storms

Life has been a journey of unimaginable challenges for me, and I’m reaching out today because I truly need your help.

The pandemic turned my world upside down, as it did for so many. I lost my job, my home, and, most painfully, my remaining family members to COVID. With nowhere else to turn, I moved back in with relatives, only to face the heartbreak of losing them too.

Despite the devastating loss and overwhelming odds, I refused to give up. I started over from scratch, walking to work every day and saving every penny I could. For two years, I worked tirelessly to save enough money for a car—something that would help me gain stability and independence again.

But life threw more obstacles my way. Two Florida hurricanes hit Florida back-to-back, forcing me to evacuate and spend my savings on emergency expenses. The second storm destroyed the small travel trailer I call home, leaving me scrambling to replace essentials like clothing and repair damages.

Then came another blow—a scam. Desperate to secure an affordable car, I fell victim to a fraudulent deal that wiped out the last of my savings. I sent $5,000 to what I believed was a trusted platform, eBay motors, only to discover I had been deceived. It was a cloned website, sending cloned emails & I fell for it, hook, line & sinker, in a rush to secure this amazing deal before someone else got it & I lost out. Once I sent a $5000 payment for the car purchase, to what I thought to be was eBay, I heard nothing from Ebay. So I reached out to their cust. Service number. I was devastated. They had no account or contact listed. I was scammed. Numb, broken & lost. My hard-earned money was gone, and with it, my hope of regaining stability for myself and my child.

Now, I find myself at a crossroads, living paycheck to paycheck, behind on rent, and without the resources to rebuild. As much as I have tried to fight through these hardships on my own, I realize I can’t do this alone anymore. As long as the Good Lord gives me the strength, I will not give up the fight, I will keep on keeping on , but Its time to put away pride & ask for help. 

I am humbly asking for your help to get back on my feet. Your support will help me:

Catch up on overdue rent and prevent losing my home.

To purchase reliable transportation to get to work safely.

Replace basic necessities lost during the storms.

Every dollar brings me closer to regaining stability and providing a better life for my child. No amount is too small, and your kindness will mean more to me than words can express.

I have faced so much loss, but I have not lost hope. I believe in the goodness of people and the power of community. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation, a share, or a kind word of encouragement.rom the bottom of my heart, thank you.
