I am starting this fundraiser for my family, especially my parents, because we are in a place where we truly need help to keep our household stable. A few months ago, my father was laid off because of company budget cuts. He still pays his monthly union dues, but he has not been getting enough work, and he has been trying to start a woodworking business on the side to help support us. My mother works as a bartender and server, but her hours were cut dramatically, and even after going to several interviews over the last few months, she still has not been able to find additional work. We have been able to get some help with food and health insurance, but it has not been enough to cover our bills. Our power has been shut off twice, our car was repossessed once, and we are at risk of losing our home, which could mean us having to live in a shelter and my siblings would have to change schools.I am working and helping however I can, but I also just graduated and started college, and I know my family cannot carry this alone right now. Donations will help us keep a roof over our heads, help us keep or restore transportation so my parents can get to work and my younger brother can get to school, and give my parents more time to find steadier or better-paying work. More than anything, this support would give my family a little breathing room and help relieve some of the overwhelming stress so my parents can focus on rebuilding stability instead of feeling like they are losing everything they have worked so hard for.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and understand what my family is going through. I know everyone is facing their own struggles, so any support, prayers, or love shared with us would mean the world. Your kindness would help keep our home, my siblings in their schools, more time for my parents to find steady work, and remind us that there are still good people out there and that we should not give up.

If you feel more comfortable buying something from my father, he does have some wood project items on marketplace you may be interested. You can message him on messenger if you would like him to build you something. Everything he sales goes towards these bills.. links below to his projects for sale.
