I’m asking for help because my mother and my younger brother are not safe.

My mother is a single woman in her fifties, living alone with her son in a dangerous area because it’s all she can afford. She has already been robbed—targeted because she is a woman living alone. Every night, she locks her door knowing it may not be enough.

Her salary barely pays rent and food. That’s it. No savings. No backup. No margin for illness, age, or emergencies. If she stops working for even a short time, she and her child end up on the street. This is not a future fear. This is a current reality. Not to mention that my mother is diagnosed with thyroid cancer and cannot afford to visit the doctors or even get treatment.

I try to help as much as I can, but I cannot secure her safety on my own. Being the eldest daughter does not come with the income needed to protect her. Love does not pay rent. Effort does not create safety.

If you contribute to this fundraiser, you are not “donating.”
You are moving a woman and a child out of danger.
You are putting them in a safer place to sleep.
You are giving them time and stability instead of constant fear.

This is about survival. This is about safety. This is about dignity.

If you can help, please do. If you can’t, share this so someone else can.

Thank you for reading this and for contributing your kindness to us. I would like to see my mother rest somewhere during her old age rather than move houses almost every month. Your support means alot.
