​Hi everyone,

​I'm reaching out as a hardworking single mom trying to get through a tough spot. Between rising utility costs and daily household expenses, keeping up with bills has become an uphill battle. I don't qualify for assistance programs like food stamps, so every single bill comes straight out of my budget.

​Right now, my biggest goal is to clear out some overdue household bills (like utilities and essential expenses) so I can breathe a little easier. Getting caught up on these basics will allow my regular paycheck to go toward what matters most right now: making sure my two kids have a special, happy Christmas morning with a warm meal and gifts under the tree.

​I hate having to ask for help, but as a mom, I will always put my kids first. Any contribution, whether it's $5, $10, or simply sharing this page with others makes a huge difference for our family.

​Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for supporting us this holiday season.

​With gratitude, Stephanie
