Wendy, the matriarch of a family of five, faces numerous challenges. Two of her children are on the autism spectrum, one of them suffers from bipolar II disorder, and one struggles with schizophrenia. Since 2023, medications have worsened her son's condition, leaving him in a wheelchair. Her husband is legally blind and has struggled to find work since the pandemic, which led to them losing their home and car. As the sole caregiver, Wendy has done everything she can to provide for her family, including taking on jobs she's not proud of.
Their current living situation with Wendy's elderly, disabled mother, who shows early signs of dementia, is unstable and risky. Her mother's husband’s history with alcohol abuse adds to the threat of eviction, leaving them with nowhere to go. They lack the privacy and space needed for the family, facing difficulties in affording food and clothing. Without access to transportation, they struggle even more to find stable employment.
Seeking a better life, Wendy is attempting to move out of Florida, where mental health treatment is inadequate and employment opportunities limited. They are crowdfunding for essential needs, including housing, transportation, and food, with specific goals: $3,000 for a car, $2,000 for moving costs, $4,800 for rent, and $200 for meals. Wendy's plea for help aims to secure a more stable and fulfilling life for her family.

**ESP:**
Wendy, la matriarca de una familia de cinco miembros, enfrenta numerosos desafíos. Dos de sus hijos están en el espectro del autismo, uno de ellos sufre de trastorno bipolar II, y uno lucha con la esquizofrenia. Desde 2023, los medicamentos han empeorado la condición de su hijo, dejándolo en silla de ruedas. Su esposo es legalmente ciego y ha tenido dificultades para encontrar trabajo desde la pandemia, lo que llevó a que perdieran su hogar y su coche. Como única cuidadora, Wendy ha hecho todo lo posible para mantener a su familia, incluso aceptando trabajos de los que no se siente orgullosa.
Su situación de vida actual con la madre de Wendy, que es discapacitada y en cama continuamente, es inestable y arriesgada. El historial pasado del abuso de alcohol por parte del esposo de su madre añade más a la amenaza de desalojo, dejándolos sin un lugar a donde ir. Les falta la privacidad y el espacio necesarios para la familia, enfrentando dificultades para proveer comida y ropa. Sin acceso a transporte, les resulta aún más difícil encontrar empleo estable.
Buscando una vida mejor, Wendy intenta mudarse de Florida, donde el tratamiento de salud mental es inadecuado y las oportunidades de empleo son limitadas. Están recaudando fondos para necesidades esenciales, incluyendo vivienda, transporte y alimentación, con objetivos específicos: $3,000 para un automóvil, $2,000 para costos de mudanza, $4,800 para el alquiler, y $200 para comidas. La súplica de Wendy busca asegurar una vida más estable y satisfactoria para su familia.
