After moving to Cincinnati, I found myself starting over in ways I hadn't anticipated. It felt like everything unraveled when I lost my job and my car broke down at the same time. Without transportation, getting my son to school and my daughter to daycare has become a daily uphill battle, leaving little time to look for new work.
Every morning starts with figuring out how to feed my children while we wait for SNAP benefits to come through. Our new place lacks basic furniture, and this absence of comfort makes it hard for my kids to feel secure and at home. With each day, the weight of these challenges grows.
I'm trying to fix my car, fill our fridge, and make our home a safe haven for my family. Reaching out isn't easy, but knowing that support is possible gives me hope. This is a crucial moment for us, a chance to build a future where my children can thrive.
