Hi everyone,
I normally wouldn’t ask for something like this, but I’m in a really difficult spot. A friend of mine created this GoFundMe on my behalf to help me save my home.

I’ve been very sick over the past year with gastroparesis and chronic pain, and I’m currently unable to work. My mortgage company allowed some temporary relief, but that’s ended—and now I’m facing foreclosure if I can’t come up with $12,000 in missed payments.

This home means everything to me. I live here with my mom and aunt, who are both infirm and depend on me. We’ve been here since 2006 after escaping a dangerous rental and years of instability. It’s our "Sweet Haven"—and we have nowhere else to go.

I’ve tried every option—loans, grants, assistance programs—but nothing has worked. This GoFundMe is my last resort.

If you’re able to donate or even just share the link, (I've made this public so you can share from here) it would mean the world to me. Truly. Thank you for reading and for caring. 🩷

I love how this shot makes it look like the yellow leaf tree has a splash of green leaves.

She was fascinated by this piece, and I couldn't resist a snap of her so intent. Being a nanny AND a photographer lined up perfectly so often.

On a visit to New York in my twenties, I took this shot of birds in flight. I love the movement and the happiness it gives me.

I'm very sad today, so it felt appropriate to post one of my sadder photographs. Taken from the Amtrak train traveling from New York to North Carolina in 2011.

A photo of I took in 2014 at the skate park in Rocky Mount, NC, that I love so much. Her pose is perfect, and the slight mischievous expression is *chef's kiss*
