For the last 10 years, I have carried more loss and hardship than I ever imagined possible, yet I have always done everything I could to keep moving forward without asking anyone for help.
Ten years ago, on my birthday, my husband was tragically taken from me through an act of violence. Five years later, I lost my second spouse unexpectedly to a brain aneurysm. Then, two years ago, I lost my father as well. Through every loss, every setback, and every moment where life felt unbearable, I continued to push forward the best I could for myself and, most importantly, for my children.
My children have experienced so much heartbreak and instability throughout the years, and through it all, this home has been the one place that has provided them comfort, consistency, and security. It has been the place they could count on when everything else in life felt uncertain. The possibility of losing our home is not just about losing a place to live; it is the possibility of losing the stability that has helped carry my children through unimaginable grief and change.
Last year, after already struggling to recover emotionally and financially from years of loss, I lost my job. The very next day, I was involved in a severe T-bone accident that left me injured and unable to quickly recover financially. Only weeks later, I was involved in another accident that further worsened my previous injuries. I am still actively receiving medical treatment and working through the compensation process from these accidents while also trying to replace my vehicle. These unexpected hardships are ultimately what caused me to fall behind financially in the first place.
I have always been the person others could lean on. I have always tried to figure things out on my own, stay strong, and help others whenever I was able. Asking for help has never come easy to me, but today I am facing one of the hardest moments of my life.
At this time, I am trying to raise a minimum of $13,500 immediately to help prevent the loss of our home, while the total amount needed to fully save it is approximately $43,000. Despite everything, I have not given up. I am still fighting for my children, for our stability, and for the opportunity to rebuild after an incredibly difficult season of life.
If you are able to donate, share this campaign, or even offer words of encouragement, it would mean more to me than I can fully express. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps create a little more time, a little more hope, and a chance for my family to move forward without losing the one thing that has remained constant through so much loss.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your kindness, and for standing beside my family during a time when we truly need support.
With gratitude,
Amy
