Life can change in the blink of an eye. That truth hit devastatingly close to home for Emily, a hardworking single mother in Detroit. Emily’s life revolved around her 8-year-old daughter, Chloe, and her husband, Jason, who worked tirelessly to support their little family. But one ordinary evening, their world was shattered.
Jason had gone out for groceries, a simple errand he’d done countless times before. On his way back, tragedy struck. In a senseless act of violence, Jason was fatally shot. Emily was left grappling with heartbreak, fear, and the sudden reality of raising Chloe alone.
With Jason gone, Emily faced a mountain of bills that her part-time job couldn’t cover. Rent, utilities, groceries — everything became a struggle. Detroit’s harsh winters loomed, and the thought of keeping Chloe warm and safe added to Emily’s burden.
Despite her grief, Emily was determined to provide for her daughter. She applied for assistance programs and took on extra hours wherever she could. But even her best efforts weren’t enough to keep the lights on for some months.
“It feels like every step forward comes with two steps back,” Emily said. “I just want Chloe to feel safe again.”
