Support for Mell Brumfield and her kids

Mell and her family have been through so much and need the support of the community.

She

lost her sister in January and has been taking care of her sister's

three children along with her two daughters. Covid-19 caused her to lose

her job and daycare. Due to a kitchen fire they have also lost their

home. Mell's two-year-old was injured in the fire, but has been released

from the hospital.

They have all been living in and out of a

hotel for months, often having to wait outside after check out while

waiting to get funds to rent a room for another night. Mell has

contacted every aid group in the area, and is on several waiting lists -

immediate, real financial help is what she needs from us right now. She

has been unable to get unemployment assistance thus far as well.

The

money raised will go first to food, the hotel, and diapers. The basics

to get by while she navigates what feels like an impossible situation.

Mell

is going in to sign papers on Monday, 8/24 on a place to move into, and

will hopefully be able to move the following Thursday. Two weeks ago

her car was impounded because she couldn't make her payments, so we are

hoping to cover those fees so she can move into her new place with ease

and be mobile again.

While I've donated what I can and held some

fundraisers selling my art it's not enough, so I've put this page

together in the hope that her story can be spread widely, and she can

get the help she and her family so desperately need right now.

Immediate

and direct donations are also helpful to not have to wait for
