πŸ†˜πŸš¨ EMERGENCY: 24 Hours to Save a Blind Grandmother & 4 Kids from the Street πŸš¨πŸ†˜

It is with shaking hands and a heart that's is breaking for my lifelong friend, Shayla and her family. Her situation is dire and time sensitive. Shayla, was just served papers by the Sheriff’s Department. She, her daughter, and her four grandchildren (ages 6, 8, 14 and 16) have exactly 24 hours to vacate their home.

A Perfect Storm of Misfortune

Shayla recently lost her sight to Macular Degeneration. Because she can no longer see, she lost her job. Despite her disability, her initial claim was denied, leaving the family with $0 income. They have fought so hard to stay afloat, but they are now down to a single box of rice and a few packs of noodles.

The 24-Hour Goal

We are four days from Christmas, and tomorrow, this family will be standing on the curb unless we act. We are raising funds for three immediate needs:

Β * Emergency Shelter: A week at a local motel to keep the kids safe and warm while we find a long-term solution.

Β * Storage & Transport: A U-Haul and a small storage unit so they don’t lose every possession they own to the sidewalk.

Β * Food & Essentials: Immediate groceries so these children do not go hungry during this move.

How You Can Help

Please, if you have $5, $10, or even $100, it will go directly to a motel room and food for tonight. If you cannot give, please share this link immediately. The clock is ticking, I urge you to help my friend and her family as they face a tremendous hardship 4 days away from Christmas and less than 24hrs away from eviction. NO CHILD SHOULD SPEND CHRISTMAS ON THE STREET AND HUNGRY WITH THEIR BLIND GRANDMOTHER. πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’šπŸ™πŸ½

🚨 UPDATE: We Have a Roof for 3 Nights! But We Still Need Help.

GOOD NEWS:

Because of your incredible generosity, Shayla and her family are NOT on the street tonight. We raised enough to secure a motel room for the next 3 nights and a small storage unit to protect their belongings. Watching those babies walk into a safe and warm room instead of a shelter was the first Christmas miracle we needed.

REALITY:

While they are safe for the next 72 hours, the crisis isn't over.

πŸ₯›GROCERIES: The family is still without adequate food.πŸ₯žπŸ₯šπŸž We need to stock them up on healthy, easy-to-prepare meals for the kids while they are in the motel.

The Next Step: We are frantically looking for a more long-term housing solution, but motel costs add up quickly. We need to extend their stay through Christmas so they aren't forced out again on December 26th.

CURRENT GOAL:

 $2300 to cover 4 more nights (taking them through the holiday) 🏠and a full grocery run.πŸ₯“πŸ₯šπŸ₯•πŸ₯”πŸ₯’πŸ©πŸ³πŸ₯©πŸ₯§πŸ’š

Please keep sharing. You are literally saving this family’s life. Thank you for being the light in their darkest hour. πŸ’šπŸ™πŸ½πŸ’š
