Kyra Abrahamson hasn't added a story.
We (Marissa and Kyra) are organizing this fundraiser for our beloved Shawn Peterson and her two sons. Over the past two months, their family has experienced a major financial hiccup after an employment opportunity was suddenly no longer viable. They are left with no options for resources and are at risk of financial instability.
Shawn is known for being a steadfast leader in the community, always showing up in humility and strength and doing whatever needs to be done. For those of us who know her personally, she is a tireless community advocate, teacher, mentor, Momma, Auntie, Sister, and friend. There isn't an organization, event, or family in our urban Seattle area that hasn't been touched by her efforts behind the scenes, never asking for the spotlight but always working to lift others.
As a single Indigenous mother, Shawn and her sons live in Seattle where the cost of living is incredibly high. Their monthly living expenses are $6,000 - we are looking to raise $12,000 to help ensure that Shawn can find employment that will enable her to provide for her family financially and continue prioritizing her presence in her kids lives. Shawn anticipates being able to start a short-term contract position within the next two months, enabling her to look for a new employment opportunity.
Your donations will provide a financial cushion for Shawn and her family, including:
- Transportation (gas, insurance, etc)
- Food
- Rent
- Healthcare costs
- Bills (phone, car payment, utilities, etc.)
All funds raised will go directly to Shawn and her family.
