“I am a single mom overcoming poverty; I have faced so much harm and discrimination as I navigate alcohol use recovery (3 years sober) and my son has been impacted by this - being forced to spend extended periods of time away from me. He has overcome so much from early childhood diagnoses of speech delay and torticollis to even having two seizures. He doesn’t let anything hold him back and has always been willing to learn new skills through play and music.”

I'm a single mom who in the past 7 years has been treated for thyroid and colon cancer, yet I still work full time. I barely make enough money to pay my bills, and my son is an amazing kiddo who deserves the world. I don't have much family to help me, and I would love to give him the birthday he deserves.
