i wanted to post pictures of our loved Pootie Queen triciawyse’s daughter, Francesca, and Tricia’s two amazing grand babies, Mikayla and TJ. We all know how much joy Tricia would have in her grandchildren and how she’d love sharing stories about them with all of you.
But their safety prevents that.
Mikayla’s father almost killed her when she was an infant and he is serving time in prison. She survived but was left with forever mental and physical health issues. She’s a warrior princess like her Mama who moves heaven and earth for her. And now she has a loving step father and an adorable little brother named TJ who is eight months old.
It has been a long journey for all of them. One focused on Mikayala’s on going needs and all of their safety. A real fear has been of Franki’s former husband coming after them when he is released from prison. He should be in prison for the rest of his life for what he did to Tricia’s beautiful infant grand daughter. Instead, he’ll be getting out in two years. So Franki and her family have moved to another state in hopes of safety.
Frankie and her amazing partner have been fighting to make a secure, safe, and loving home for their children.
But all too often bad stuff happens to good people who are already juggling more than enough.
On the same day last week, Franki found out that she was miscarrying and that they would be evicted if they could not come up with past due rent. That was on top of her partner losing his job.
They’re both hard working people. And Franki wants to get her RN. But right now between the miscarriage and Mikayla’s on-going appointments with various doctors and specialists, working overtime to make up for her partner being out of work is out of the question.
Franki’s partner is taking care of the children while she recovers and heals.
They’re trapped by circumstances not of their making.
This is how Franki described their situation on the GoFundMe page she created —
Due to an unexpected job loss, we are depending solely on my income. I, however, just went through a miscarriage and have been unable to pick up overtime between that and balancing Mikayla's appointments. We have been served with a 30 day eviction notice if we do not come up with the past two months overdue rent, as well as provide February's rent on the first. I am asking for help with the past due rent to avoid eviction. It would mean the world to us and would allow me to heal and keep us, in a safe place during the winter. Any help would greatly be appreciated!
She doesn’t like asking for help. Had to talk her into doing this. And she’s low balling what they need on the GoFundMe page. They have enough now to cover the past due rent. But not enough for the fast approaching February rent, to make up lost wages or for March’s rent if her SO has not yet found a job.
We can help free them by giving them room to breath, heal and regroup. They need time so her partner can find another job and Franki can recover.
Therefore I’d like to raise at least $900 for them above what has been given to cover the past due rent. Doing so would ease the load these committed parents are already carrying.
Update: She really doesn’t like asking for help. Getting caught up on rent was such a focus that I didn’t even think about other bills that they’d be struggling to pay.
So I’m upping the amount I hope we can raise to $1600 above their past due rent which is the goal she set on GoFundMe. Want them to have time for her SO to find another job and so Franki doesn’t have to work over time when she’s in a weakened condition.

We can do this. After all, this community has lifted hearts and worked wonders for a long time. I can just see our Pootie Queen smiling down on all of you.
From all our hearts to yours — thank you so much.
Update:
Franki just saw all your wonderful donations coming in and wanted me to pass on her thanks to you.
I can finally relax and just focus on getting through this horrible miscarriage. For once, it doesnt feel like everything is falling apart.
I'm in tears over the generosity and this has helped me so much. This means the world to me to have help to keep a roof over my kids heads. Especially in winter. It feels like my mom is still watching out for me. She has such an amazing virtual family.
This has literally saved me. We were at such a rock bottom.
I've tried so hard to keep her safe and provided for and now TJ. It just all piled on and I was pretty hopeless. This helps me breathe again.
Thank you all so much
See what you’ve all done? Saved lives. Literally. I could not be more thankful and proud of all of you.
You are true gifts, ones I will always be profoundly thankful for.
Blessings to all.
