Mother of 6 lost everything!
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Nakisha Ramsey and I am the mother of 5 sons and 1 daughter, and the grandmother of 1 grand daughter.
It has taken years for me and my children to heal and overcome many obstacles that have came our way which include one of my son's having a seizure disorder, their father being absent in their life and many other things.
We set out to be the best we could be which in the past couple years began to show up. We remodeled nour house, and it was all paid for. My daughter went to college and is studying to get her master's in councling. I went to school and hold a CNA, and CDL license as well as personal training, nutrition specialist and group fitness specialist license. I just finished my first law degree in law school and continue to get my second degree.
All my sons have became young respectful men and are thriving to become successful.
We just celebrated the new year with the focus on this being the best year yet with many laughs and smiles and faith.
All off that came crashing Jan 7, 2022 when a electric fire started in my son's room and within seconds consumed everything we had worked so hard for.. it wasn't much..but it was ours.
We all got out safe but as we ran outside we could hear the windows breaking, the fire roaring and one of my son's fell to the grass as hie watched his home burn. Two of my son's ran out with no shoes on.
Friday night we all sat in the back of an ambulance speechless, scared, and cold. The firefighters searched for diapers at the local hospital and out of the generosity of my aunt she paid for a hotel room.
Currently we are in the same hotel with 6 days left before our paid stay will end, we have nothing and ate starting from scratch.
We are not a family who asks for handouts in this world, we have worked extremely hard to get where we are, but unfortunately this is a hit from life that has our hands tied and asking for help.
If you could please help us with donations. The donations will help to get a place, for food, clothing, little items like tooth brushes, soaps etc and help each of the kids start over.
I can do without.. my only need is to make sure they are taking care of.
As a mom, there is so much healing now that will have to take place.. but before that can even happen.. we have to have a foundation to build upon.
If you can please help us.. donate to help us regain our faith in this year.. that just a few days ago seemed so bright with promise and promotion that it would indeed be our best year yet.
Thank you,
Nakisha
