Every family deserves a place to call home—a sanctuary where love and security weave their daily lives. I am a devoted mother living in Pleasanton, where I've built memories and a life over the years. But now, my daughter and I face the harrowing reality of eviction, with mounting bills threatening the safe haven we've fought so hard to maintain. In recent years, we've faced devastating personal losses, financial setbacks, and daunting medical challenges. Through it all, I strived to create a nurturing environment for my daughter, asking loved ones to support her in dance and other activities when I could not. Our struggle hit hardest in 2022/23 when we were forced to leave the home my daughter has known all her life. Helplessly, we watched our world shrink from familiar four walls to a shared, makeshift living space. I've battled tirelessly against these adversities while trying to maintain my sanity and strength for my daughter. We've reached a crucial crossroads. By August 2025, mandated payments of $6,000 were requested, and the September rent is quickly approaching, leaving us overwhelmed and exposed. Now, I humbly reach out to you, asking for help so my daughter and I do not lose what little we have left—a home near her school, a space bare but filled with hope and memories. Any contribution towards our immediate financial needs can make a massive difference in keeping us together and stable until we regain our footing. Additionally, I offer my skills as an artist and hairstylist to those who can support us. Custom sketches, playful wall murals, and detailed hair services—crafted with care and passion despite life's pace—are my way to thank and repay your kindness. Please consider donating today to help us remain sheltered and safe. Your generosity can turn our temporary struggle into a lasting story of hope and community. Thank you for your time, compassion, and support through this difficult journey. Any advice to help navigate government support programs would also be immensely appreciated. For inquiries about my services or to lend a helping hand, feel free to email me at Amina.strohl916@gmail.com.
Pic from our old house I have 12000 photos from those years but these are some fun ones! The first is us saying goodbye to division st. And my kiddo telling me we’ll be fine and I needed to stop crying .. these kids. She saved my life.







Some how I’ve always had a way of seeing the possiblity in life. Maybe no the positive .. but the possible.
