My name is Joe, and I am reaching out because I am completely out of options and desperately need help to keep my family safe. I am a single parent living in Redding with my two beautiful children, and we are currently on the absolute brink of losing our housing. Within days, we will have nowhere left to go.Right now, we have zero income, zero savings, and we do not own a car. Being completely stranded without transportation or money makes it incredibly difficult to get to county aid offices or secure an immediate emergency shelter bed for my kids.I am doing everything I can to hold it together, but as a parent, it is terrifying to watch your children face this reality. I am setting up this fundraiser to raise emergency funds so I can:Pay for a safe, temporary motel room to keep my kids off the street.Secure emergency transit or rides to get us to local social service appointments.Buy absolute necessities like food, diapers, and hygiene supplies for my children.Every single dollar donated will go directly toward keeping my kids safe, fed, and sheltered while I work frantically with local agencies to get our lives back on track. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this link with the Redding community would mean the world to us.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading our story and helping me protect my children.
