This holiday season, I find myself asking for help. as a single mother of three children who are facing challenging times. As many of you prepare to celebrate with family and friends, I am struggling to provide basic necessities, with rent past due and no funds available for Christmas gifts or holiday meals.

My name is Lori, I’m a single mother who recently got out of an extremely abusive narcissistic relationship. I’m struggling to get on my feet and I work so hard to provide for my three kids, ages 9,10, and 13. Getting them some much needed counseling while trying to stay strong for them and help them navigate their hard feelings all while working full time and taking any and all hours I can get, it doesn’t seem enough. We are still behind. Despite my best efforts, unexpected expenses and the rising cost of living have left us in a tough spot. With rent due and no savings to fall back on, the pressure is mounting. I dream of a warm, joyful Christmas for my children, but right now, I am worried about keeping a roof over their heads.

We are aiming to raise $1,000 to cover my overdue rent and provide the children with a Christmas filled with love and joy. Your contributions will help ensure they have a safe and secure home, as well as the essentials they need to thrive. Additionally, I hope to provide each child with a small gift to brighten their holiday season.

Every dollar counts! Your financial support will directly impact our lives. If you’d prefer to donate straight to our landlord I can provide details if you send me an email at

Gift Donations: If you prefer to donate gifts for the children, we welcome new toys and clothes that would make their Christmas special.

With your help, you can provide us with the stability we need and bring some holiday cheer into our lives. Thank you for your generosity and compassion!
