A Family's Struggle

Urgent help needed—a message from our founder

10/12/24

We need your help today! A resilient young mother of three, including a child with special needs, faces an unimaginable crisis. After relocating for a promising job opportunity that fell through, this determined mother has exhausted all her resources to keep her family sheltered.

Now, with no other options and limited support, they are on the brink of homelessness.

At For My Bonus Child, Inc., we believe that every family deserves a safe and stable place to call home, especially those caring for children with disabilities. Our Pathways to Home initiative is dedicated to providing critical support to families like this one, ensuring they have the resources they need to weather life's storms.

We are urgently seeking to raise $5,000 to provide this family with secure housing through December, along with essential groceries and supplies. Every donation, no matter the size, brings them one step closer to stability and hope during this challenging time.

As the founder of For My Bonus Child, Inc., I know firsthand the fear and desperation that comes with facing homelessness while caring for a child with special needs. It was the kindness of strangers that kept my own family safe during our darkest hours, and now we have the opportunity to extend that same lifeline to another deserving family.

"I never thought I'd find myself in this situation, but I will do whatever it takes to keep my kids safe," the mother shared with us. "My daughter's special needs add another layer of challenges, but she is so resilient and brings our family so much joy."

Sadly, this family's story is not unique. Countless families with special needs children across the country are just one misfortune away from finding themselves without a place to call home. By supporting this family, you are not only changing their lives but also helping to shed light on a critical issue that demands our attention and action.

Will you join us in providing a pathway to home for this deserving family? Your tax-deductible donation to For My Bonus Child, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, will provide more than just a roof over their heads—it will offer hope, stability, and the chance for a brighter future.

Thank you for your support and compassion.

Gratefully yours,

Gabby Cunningham, Founder- For My Bonus Child, Inc.
