Dear Ryan,
Rae Shine is an amazing woman I first met in 2016 when she started living in our backhouse and became a nanny for our twins.
She was wonderful with my girls and cared for them as her own. In 2020, Rae became pregnant and is now a single mother to Josiah.
Josiah is sweet boy but has had medical issues since birth including a sclerosis where he had to wear a cast for a year while he was two.
Rae has gone through a lot caring for her son and has done it all with grace and love. I know having some help during this holiday season would mean a lot to her.
