Hi Everyone!👋

My name is Nikki, and if you watched the short video, then you might already have an understanding of my situation. I am a single mother who is desperately in need of a miracle. In the video, I touched upon my struggles briefly, but I would like to delve deeper and share more details with you all here.

By the Grace of God, over the last 4 years, I have been able to crawl and claw my way out of what felt like an endless pit of darkness caused by addiction, the heartbreaking loss of not just one, but three children, battling mental illnesses, enduring homelessness, and navigating toxic relationships that drained my spirit.

For the first time in my life, it seemed like everything was beginning to finally fall into place. I am on a journey of  recovery and wellness. However, the devastating loss of my last child sent my world spiraling downwards once again, and I found myself overwhelmed trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities like paying bills, meeting my child’s needs, and keeping up with the rent.

In a desperate attempt to seek help, I reached out to my child's mental health services, which graciously offered to assist us. Unfortunately, as life tends to happen, the financial help we were promised did not arrive in time. As a result, my landlord began the eviction process for our apartment just as things started to feel stable. As I shared in the video, mere days before our court date, I was offered a glimmer of hope in the form of stipulations that could allow me to remain in my small studio – a safe space we have come to cherish. Inspired by faith and the belief that God did not bring us this far just to abandon us, I signed those documents, choosing hope over despair. The thought of moving or being uprooted again is simply not an option.

My daughter, who is disabled and requires special care, depends on me now more than ever, and the mere thought of facing homelessness again makes me sick. I can't even begin to fathom what would happen if we had to experience that pain once more, or if, heaven forbid, we were left with no choice but to rehome our beloved fur babies in order to find temporary shelter. After so many ups and downs...

Now, the urgency of our situation weighs heavily on me: the amount of $7,500 is needed by the 20th of this month. I fully understand that it is a significant sum to raise in such a short time frame, but I hold a strong belief in miracles. Just your presence here today is indeed a miracle to me. So far, we have managed to raise $3,100, and I am tirelessly reaching out to various sources, putting our faith into action through prayer, but time is quickly running out and I simply do not know what else to do. I need you – yes, you! – to share our story, to truly hear our heartfelt plea, and if possible, to please, please find it in your hearts to contribute what you can.

I just want to take a moment to recognize how truly wonderful you are, to be here seeking ways to aid those in need. Even if our paths do not cross as benefactor and seeker, just the fact that you are willing to help others is remarkable. You. Are. Amazing.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to listen to my story.
