Hi there, I’m Kay, a single mother trying to build a better future for myself and my daughter. Today, I’m contacting you—friends, family, and kind strangers—to ask for your support in making a dream come true: buying a home.
As a single mom living in California, I have been doing my best to balance the demands of daily life, but one thing that has been an ongoing struggle is finding a way to save enough for a down payment. I live paycheck to paycheck in a 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment in Anaheim, with more than $2,000 monthly rent. It’s not an ideal situation, and honestly, it’s hard to keep up with the costs of living here—especially when I’m trying to save for a future that I can be proud of.
The truth is, my rent in California is almost the same as a mortgage payment in other states. So, I’ve decided to move to Michigan—where I can afford a home, provide a better life for my daughter, and finally have a place of our own. But I need help making this leap. The cost of moving across the country, along with the down payment and closing costs for a home, is more than I can handle alone at this time.
**How You Can Help:**
My goal is to raise $30,000 to cover the down payment, closing costs, and moving expenses. Of that amount, $25,000 will go toward the down payment and closing costs for a home in Michigan. The remaining $5,000 will be used for moving expenses—from hiring movers to renting a truck, getting utilities set up, and making the transition as smooth as possible for my daughter and me.
I know that many people are struggling with similar challenges, and I don’t take asking for help lightly. But I truly believe that this move will create a better life for my daughter. It’s not just about owning a house—it’s about giving her stability, room to grow, and an environment where we can thrive.
If you can contribute, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to us. Every little bit brings us closer to a fresh start. I’ll keep everyone updated on our progress, and I’ll be eternally grateful for your generosity. You’re not just helping us with a down payment—you’re investing in our future.
To give back, I plan to volunteer with local charities in my new community. Once I’m settled, I’ll work toward opening a non-profit to support survivors of domestic violence. This cause is very close to my heart, and one day, I hope to be in a position where I can help others just as you’re helping me.
Thank you again for your kindness and support.
With gratitude,
Kay
