My name is Sonia Burke, and I am writing to share my family’s story and humbly ask for your consideration and support during a difficult time.\r\n\r\nOver the past year, my family has faced unimaginable challenges. My son, the primary provider for his wife and their three young children, was involved in a devastating car accident after falling asleep at the wheel while driving home from work. His injuries—a broken back, hip, and foot—have left him unable to work and limited in his ability to provide for his family. As a result, they lost their home and are now living in a small, one-bedroom space, struggling to meet their basic needs.\r\n\r\nDespite these hardships, my daughter-in-law has been a pillar of strength. She cares for their youngest child, who was born prematurely and diagnosed with cerebral palsy and developmental delays. She dedicates herself to his therapy sessions twice a week and monthly doctor visits in Atlanta, all while raising her two daughters. Her resilience is remarkable, but her journey has not been without further sorrow—just six months ago, her stepfather was tragically killed by a drunk driver.\r\n\r\nWhile I wish I could do more to help, my own medical struggles and pending disability case prevent me from contributing financially. Yet, I witness every day the love, determination, and the resourcefulness my daughter-in-law pours into her family. She wants to teach her children life skills like gardening, sewing, woodworking, and preserving food. These activities not only provide moments of joy but would  also instill valuable lessons in self-sufficiency.\r\n\r\nDespite her challenges, she works tirelessly, taking on delivery jobs like Instacart, DoorDash, and Walmart delivery whenever possible. Unfortunately, it’s still not enough to make ends meet.\r\n I understand this may be an unusual request,\r\nIf y'all have anything to send it sure would bring some smiles  to their faces all 5 of them .\r\n\r\nThank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for considering us. Your kindness and generosity would bring hope and relief to a family striving to overcome incredible odds.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,\r\n\r\nSonia Burke"
