Twelve years ago, Jazmine and Chloë were little girls living at Casa de Clara Catholic Worker. Now, Jazmine is 19 and has graduated from high school, and Chloë is a junior at Hollywood High School. 

On October 17, their mother Jessica died suddenly. With the support of family and friends, they are hanging in there, but it's a lot: on top of the grief, they are suddenly navigating finding a job, paying rent, and keeping their small family together. 

Can you help? Through Dandelion House, the new Catholic Worker community Fumi started in Portland, we are raising money to help pay for rent and other basic needs for the next couple of months during this challenging transition.
