My name is Katelyn, I am a single mom to the sweetest most resilient little girl you could ever meet. She is my entire world.
For years, we lived in an abusive relationship that left us with nothing but each other. I found the courage to leave so we could have a peaceful safe life. It was a hard decision but the only way to protect my daughter and show her that she deserves love, respect and stability.
I was forced to file bankruptcy after my name and SSN was used to take out loans that were not ever paid. We were forced to sell our house and are now homeless.
Right now my biggest fear is that we will have to move her out of the school district that she’s been in since first grade. The one place that she has friends, caring teachers and a sense of normalcy throughout this chaos.
Why I’m asking for help:
I do have a full time job, and I work every day to give her a stable life. I’m working 80 hours a week to try to rebuild our lives, but because I was forced to file bankruptcy, I cannot get approved for a rental. I also cannot get a mortgage to give this beautiful child a stable life. I have been saving every penny that I can but without help, I won’t be able to keep her in this area where she feels safe and happy.
How your help will change our lives:
Every donation- no matter how small – will go directly toward a down payment for a modest home in our school district. This isn’t just about four walls, this is about giving my daughter stability in a safe neighborhood and giving her continuity of friendship and adult role models.
If you’ve ever had a moment in your life where you just need someone to believe in you and give you a hand, that’s where I am right now. Your generosity would mean more than words can express.
From my heart
If you can’t donate, I completely understand. Sharing this with someone that might be able to help would be so kind and appreciated beyond belief. Thank you for reading our story, for caring and giving us hope that better days are ahead.
All the love and gratitude.
