My name is Dorika Edmond, a single mother doing my best to keep our home steady. I’m recovering from flu and COVID (thankfully mild), and my young son has eczema, which makes daily life uncomfortable and requires ongoing creams and care. I lost my job last month, I have no income, and there is no financial aid helping us right now.

I am seeking $2,000 (the more, the better) as a short bridge while I recover and search for new work. Your support will go first to rent and utilities, then to groceries and transportation for interviews and appointments. A portion will cover my son’s eczema treatments and any small clinic co-pays so he can be more comfortable day to day.

I am actively applying for positions and will return to work as soon as I am cleared and hired. This fundraiser is not open-ended; it’s a practical, near-term plan to keep us stable while I get back on my feet.

Thank you for reading and for any help you can offer—a donation or a share both make a real difference. Your kindness buys time, dignity, and comfort for a little boy who deserves it, and it helps me restart our life with hope.
