My name is Dolly, and I'm reaching out from Corpus Christi in what has become the most challenging chapter of my life. In 2023, my world was shattered when my daughter was tragically taken from me. Navigating this deep grief alone has been overwhelming. Returning to my job was a struggle, especially because everyday items like kitchen knives triggered painful memories. When I requested a small accommodation at work, instead of support, I lost my job, which led to an eviction notice. In a further blow, my landlord not only removed my belongings but allowed others to take what they wanted, including my daughter’s precious keepsake box. It felt like losing her all over again. Now, I stand at the precipice of homelessness, struggling to keep afloat. I'm aiming to raise $5,600 to rebuild, find another place to stay, and change my career to something safe and supportive. This isn't just about survival—it's about reclaiming my independence and hope. Your kindness can help me stay safe, secure a stable job, and work towards a future where I feel at home again. Thank you for considering my journey.
