Lend a Hand to Matayla: Urgent Income Support Fund

Donation protected
Hi Family! (as Mattie would say).. I'm Gina, and I'm reaching out about my friend Matayla. If you know her, you know she's truly inspirational. Matayla has been a rock in our community, always there to lend an empathetic ear to anyone who needs it.

Unfortunately, Matayla is facing a tough financial and housing situation right now. With the job market being hit hard over the past couple of years, she's found herself in a challenging spot after a lay off last year. Despite her relentless efforts in applying and interviewing for jobs, she's facing the possibility of eviction due to the unexpected twists in her journey.

Matayla's dedication to finding work is unwavering, but the reality is, time is running out, and she's not receiving further assistance from unemployment. It's been incredibly taxing on her, both emotionally and financially.

That's why we're coming together as a community to support her. We need to raise funds to ensure she has a stable place to stay while she continues her job search. Matayla deserves the support of her community during this challenging time.

Please consider sharing this with your friends, family, and on social media using the link provided. Additionally, Matayla would greatly appreciate any practical gifts, meals, or texts/calls to help ease the burden.

Thank you for your support and kindness during this difficult time. Together, we can make a difference in Matayla's life. Let's be a great family to a great friend!!! <3
