I have been pleading for help since this morning 💔 but sadly I feel completely ignored.
I have not received a single donation so far.
My family and I are now in the street 🏚️ after being forced to leave our land. We have nowhere to go.
I am asking for your help 🙏 even a small donation or simply sharing this post could make a difference 🔁
Please don’t ignore us. We are trying to survive 🫂💔

🚨 PLEASE DON’T SCROLL 🚨
I found a small piece of land to rent to protect my family from ending up on the street… but the rent is $500/month, and I simply cannot afford it 💔
I’m begging you… stand with me and my family in this painful time.
Please don’t leave us homeless.
Even the smallest donation or a simple share can make a real difference 🙏
Think of me as one of your own family members… would you leave me like this? 💔
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to anyone who helps or shares 🤲
