Thank you so very much. My family and I are very grateful for the generosity you have shown us in our time of need. Words can't express how much your donation is appreciated. This makes me feel like there is a new found hope for my daughter's situation as much as it has affected my family as a whole. Again, thank you!



My Daughter Was Diagnosed With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Moving Costs Set Me Back

My Story:

I am a single mother of three children, ages 21, 17 & 14. My 21-year-old son is very helpful with his siblings. My 17-year-old daughter was very active in dance before her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. My 14-year-old son enjoyed playing the trombone in the middle school band before we moved to a new city and the high school does not offer band classes. I recently began working full-time as a Staff Consultant for a local CPA firm and this is the first time I feel like my career has the potential to grow.

My daughter was diagnosed with a chronic illness in June 2016 and required medical treatment in a city that was 2 hours away. I missed a lot a work and took leave without pay during hospital stays that were up to a week long. I was forced to quit my job and move from Tallahassee to Gainesville to be closer to my daughter's treatment facility. I started another job right away, but the short gap in employment and moving expenses have put me behind.

If I receive assistance with my rent, I would be most gracious. This will put me back on track and allow me to avoid late fees that make it a struggle to catch up. I could rest so much easier knowing that I will be able to continue giving the best care possible to my daughter.
