Journey to safety, stability, & self-sufficiency
Donation protected
Hey there!
We're Mo Mo and Mommy, a family of two toddler boys and a mother. Despite our current situation, we spend most days singing, playing, exploring, and staying agile. We try our best to stay positive and happy although our family is unfortunately in crisis and in urgent need of assistance.
Due to fleeing domestic abuse from multiple households, we were homeless and searching endlessly for a safe place to call HOME. It was especially difficult since we have little support, don't have a personal car, and Mom is unemployed. For months we were moving around from homes, hotels, a domestic violence shelter, and temporary housing provided by an organization.
And thanks to some selfless supporters, patience, and persistence, we have been accepted into a rehousing program through an organization!
This grant will provide a portion of rent for our home! And after settling in, the boys can finally attend daycare so that Mom can continue to work, providing income for the family.
As grateful as we are for this unique opportunity, we also realize that there are other necessities that we will need assistance with during this transition.
And so, we ask if there are any people or organizations that feel moved to support us on our journey to self sufficiency, to please assist us by offering your time, funds, or anything else to help us obtain the following within the next few weeks:
- Our financial contribution to monthly rent, insurance, and utilities
- Transportation (Public transportation, ride shares, car rentals, and ultimately a used vehicle with car insurance and fuel)
- Childcare
- Clothing (Toddler boys sizes 3T & 5T, shoes 8 & 11)
- Apartment furniture & misc. ( bedding, cleaning supplies, etc.)
- Therapy
If you know us personally, we are open to receiving physical donations of anything listed above, pre-loved or new. Please contact us by phone or email to coordinate donations.
Please note, we cannot disclose our current or future locations for our safety.
If you do not personally know us, and you are an organization interested in making physical donations, please contact us so that you can be directed to our sponsoring organization.
