Hello, friends and kind-hearted strangers,
We are a couple in our early 40s, facing the toughest battle of our lives. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, we had two well-performing businesses that we had poured our hearts and souls into for over a decade. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit us hard, and we lost everything—our businesses, our savings, and our sense of security. The weight of these losses was unbearable, but life had more hardships in store for us.
Our beloved dog, who was our constant companion and source of joy, suddenly passed away. Soon after, we lost our home. With our world crumbling around us, we found ourselves in a desperate fight for survival.
Despite these immense challenges, we were blessed with a miracle—our beautiful baby, born just three months ago. This blessing came after a number of very painful miscarriages, and we had almost given up hope of ever becoming parents. Our baby’s arrival was the light in our darkest times, but it was also a costly one. We had to undergo a very expensive unplanned, emergency C-section, and without proper health insurance, the medical bills have been overwhelming.
We now find ourselves with over $75,000 in debt and barely enough money to cover one more month of rent and food. We have no family to turn to for help—both of our moms are divorced and struggling to make ends meet themselves.
We are desperately trying to move to a place with better job opportunities so we can start over and build a stable life for our precious baby. We’ve never asked for help before, and it’s incredibly hard for us to do so now, but we have no other choice.
We humbly ask for your support to help us move and cover our first three months of expenses after we get there. This will give us the chance to find jobs and get back on our feet. We believe in the kindness of people and the power of community, and we hope that you can help us through this difficult time.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can provide. Your generosity means the world to us.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Leah & Juan
