Hello everyone, I am reaching out because I am currently navigating a tight financial transition. As I work through the active stages of my senior corporate job search while managing full-time caregiving for my family, a few sudden household and transportation emergencies have hit all at once. I am working daily to bridge this temporary gap, but I have updated this campaign to help keep our foundation stable until I secure my next role. If you are in a position to support or share this link, it means the world to me and my family.

​Progress Update: Thanks to the incredible kindness of early supporters, we previously raised $3,920, which stabilized our baseline household foundations during the initial phase of this transition. Because corporate hiring loops are moving slower than expected and immediate seasonal bills and unexpected emergencies have arrived, I am keeping this bridge active. Your continued support ensures our foundations remain secure as long as this market transition continues. Thank you for standing in the gap with me.

Yesterday Was A Lot — But I'm Still Standing

Hey everyone. I just want to share a real moment with you all. Yesterday on the way to support my godbabies at their moving on ceremony, something hit my windshield and caused major damage.

For those who don't know, I've been using my car to drive for Uber and Lyft while I continue fighting for my unemployment and searching for my next opportunity. This car is my only source of income right now.

I have the repair scheduled for tomorrow through insurance, but I'm responsible for a $125 out of pocket today to make it happen. I know I've leaned on you all before and I don't take that lightly. But this one is urgent and time sensitive.

If you can spare $10, $15, $20 — anything — it gets me back on the road and back to taking care of myself. If you can't give please just share this link. That means just as much.

Thank you for continuing to stand with me. I don't take a single one of you for granted.

They say it takes a village, and this village has shown up in a major way for me and my family. I am humbled by the generosity that has already helped stabilize our household foundation.

I want to be transparent about where things stand: The journey to my next senior leadership role is still very much in progress. I am actively applying and interviewing, but as many of you know, the corporate hiring process can be unpredictable. While I am working daily to secure that right fit, the ongoing costs of maintaining a household and managing my caregiving responsibilities continue to add up.

I am keeping this campaign active because this 'bridge' is still a vital necessity. Your support allows me to keep my focus where it needs to be—on securing my future and keeping my household safe while I do it.

Thank you for continuing to stand with me. Your belief in my resilience is what keeps me moving forward.

Headline: Our Incredible Village Made This Happen!

​To my family, my friends, and the sisters who make up this incredible village:

​I am sitting here in awe of your strength and your kindness. Because of you, we have officially reached the initial goal of $3,000! Seeing how you all mobilized to support me and my family has been a light in a very dark time.

​While we’ve hit this milestone on paper, the journey doesn't end here. The reality of my plight is that the transition is still ongoing and the climb remains steep. If you are still moved to contribute or share, please know that the link is still active. Please continue to share this with others who might be able to help. Every single share and every contribution beyond this goal helps me keep my family stable as I finalize these next big professional steps.

​Thank you for being my village. I am so grateful for each and every one of you.

​With love and gratitude,

Antoinette
