Moms are always there for their children when things get tricky, helping out with stuff, listening when things get rough, giving a big hug, and even a backyard tiny home if they see their child struggling to pay rent.
Enter the world of Majbritt Rayas, a 46-year-old resident of Austin, Texas, whose maternal instincts kicked into high gear when she witnessed her 20-year-old son, Daniel, grappling with the relentless challenges of paying rent and juggling college classes.
Daniel, determined but financially strained, found himself in a precarious situation—sharing a modest two-bedroom apartment in Cedar Park with three others while working tirelessly on odd jobs to make ends meet, according to Business Insider.
The delicate balance between work and study left little room for him to focus on his educational pursuits.
“I wasn’t really able to make ends meet efficiently,” Daniel confided, “Moving back home was just out of necessity.”
In a poignant display of unwavering parental love, Majbritt decided to take matters into her own hands, setting her sights on providing the essential support her son desperately needed.
Her decision mirrored the financial support she would have offered had Daniel been studying out of state, proving once again that a mother’s love knows no bounds.
For the sum of $14,000, Majbritt purchased a tiny home to be strategically placed in their backyard.
The seed of this idea was planted by a family friend who had a fully completed yet unused tiny home, and seizing the opportunity in August 2021, the Rayases transformed it into a cozy dwelling with the help of Daniel’s grandfather, a skilled carpenter hailing from Denmark.
The initial state of the 256-square-foot space was what Majbritt affectionately termed “a little DIY.”
