Support Sara's Fresh Start for Her Superhero Daughter

Title: Help Sara and Her Superhero Daughter Find a Fresh Start!

Hello,

My name is Sara, and I’m a single mom to an incredible 11-year-old girl who is nothing short of a superhero.

My daughter was born with Apert Syndrome, which has meant endless doctors, surgeries, specialists, and appointments. But despite everything we’ve faced, she has shown a strength, kindness, and resilience that blows me away every single day.

For most of her life, we’ve lived with family—mainly my parents—because of the immense medical needs she had. I couldn’t work for years as I devoted myself entirely to her care. During that time, I struggled with substance abuse, and I didn’t have the tools to cope with my mental health. But I’ve been clean for 9 years now, and I’m incredibly grateful to my family for standing by me and helping me get back on my feet.

I’ve worked hard to rebuild my life, but I’ve made financial mistakes along the way that have left me with debt. But the real challenge has been the emotional toll of living with my parents.

As my daughter gets older, the differences between my parents’ beliefs and our values have become impossible to ignore. And watching my daughter watch me suffer the same emotional abuse I endured growing up is breaking my heart.

I was raised in a strict, isolating religious environment that instilled fear and shame in me. I was taught that I was never good enough, and that people would go to hell for simply being them selves. I lived my whole life in fear of being judged or rejected, and now, seeing my daughter suffer in the same toxic environment is something I cannot bear any longer. I don’t want her to grow up feeling less than, or ashamed for being who she is. I don’t want her to feel like she has to hide her true self or look to other's to gain love and approval.

Hearing her tell me she thinks her grandpa hates her because she forgot a lunchbox at school shattered me. I wasn’t there when it happened, but I know the words that were said to her, the harshness, the shame, and the emotional toll it took on her.. Yes, over a lunch box! I know that pain all too well. It’s time for us to break free from this toxic cycle.

I am ready. I am ready to take control of our future and build a life where my daughter and I can live in peace, joy, and love.

I’ve been working full-time, for a small company for the last 3 years, and I’ve done everything I can to make enough money to support us. But I still need help.

The cost of moving, getting the essentials for a new place, and furnishing it is overwhelming, and it’s hard to save up with so many bills and no help from the state. Unfortunately, we don’t qualify for any benefits.

I am reaching out because we need a fresh start, and I can’t do it alone. If you can donate, no matter the amount, it will help us get the peace and stability we need. Your support will go toward moving costs and furnishing our new home—so we can create the life we deserve. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read our story. Your generosity means more than I can put into words. We are ready to move forward, and with your help, we can finally begin the next chapter of our lives with hope and strength.

With love,

Sara & Her Superhero Daughter
