I've been consumed with guilt and embarrassment over sharing the following, but this is where I'm at right now. Guilt and embarrassment aside, I need help.
I'm Nikki, and the two angels in the photo with me are my sweethearts, my beautiful girls. We are a tight knit teeny family of just us three and being their mama is my entire reason for being.
Unfortunately, life has thrown this tight knit teeny family of mine more than a few unexpected challenges in the past couple of years, all of this being compounded by two medical emergencies which have kept me out of work for much longer than I ever imagined - until the end of summer, minimum - and without the consistent income I depend on to support my girls' needs.
Right now, I'm simply trying to get us through until I am back on my feet. Between groceries, gas, back-to-school supplies, and recent medical expenses, every dollar has to stretch a little farther than it can. More than anything, I want my daughters to be able to focus on being kids while I focus on getting well and rebuilding our footing.
If you're able to help in any way, please know how deeply grateful we would be. Whether it's a donation or simply sharing our story, every act of kindness makes a real difference.
This is just a temporary chapter, and I look forward to the day I'm able to pay that kindness forward. Until then, thank you for taking the time to read our story and for keeping me and my girls in your thoughts.
