11/22/2025 – Welcoming Event – Santa Rosa

Sign-up Link for needed items:

Cynthia is a single mom of three boys – ages two, three and four. Cynthia works as many hours as she can as a chef. She drops her children off at daycare at 5:00 a.m Monday through Friday to get to her job by 5:30. In spite of many hardships, she is doing all that she can to provide for her boys.

Cynthia’s mom had her when she was 14 years old and is an addict. Same with her father.
Her father passed away two years ago from a fentanyl overdose and she doesn’t have any other family.

She was with her kid’s dad for five years but he was mentally and emotionally abusive, and was not helpful with the children including not giving any financial help for the boys. She finally got the courage to leave and about three weeks later got laid off from her job.

She felt forced to make the decision to leave their apartment and get rid of everything because she didn’t want an eviction and knew she wasn’t able to afford it on unemployment.
Friends took Cynthia and the boys in until she could get back on her feet.
She is starting all over again. It has been really hard as a single Mom with no family or anyone that could really help.

She has been very stressed out about how she can provide the basic essentials for her home as well as provide things for Christmas! She is especially grateful for the help of Welcoming Home right before the holidays.
