A home for the holidays

Donation protected
Hello. My name is Fei and many of you that know me, know that I am a hard working single mom of 4. My kids are my life. I have been a single mom for many years now not by choice but by reason. Their father went to prison for 7.5 years which left us with a few challenges. Challenges that we faced and worked thru as a tight knit family. We have over come many obsticles hand in hand together. This last year has been a tough one and it has not let up just yet. The home we were living in for the past 3 years went on the market resulting us to move. After many stressful months of searching for a new home we found a home here in Central Point, OR. 4 bedrooms! The kids were so excited to finally have a bit of room from being so packed in as we were before. We love eachother but it does feel nice to have a bit of space for yourself. The rent was higher.. 1300 on a single mothers income, plus utilities and so on. We made it work. We got the house and shortly after found out from neighbors and posts online that our new landlords were very difficult to work with. With that information we made sure to take extra good care of the house and maintain the yard and allowing them in whenever they needed, to even without notice. 3 short months after our move in and after many praised remarks from one of the landlords we recieved a 30 day no cause eviction on our door. With no contact information for the landlords other than a PO box and an email address (which didnt result in any type of response)  we couldn't really plee for a longer time or even see what it was that had them wanting us to leave the property. Stress has been high, health issues and lack of money has really hit us hard but we still manage to overcome all of this by being together and working as one.  Time is winding down, holidays are passing and approaching and my kids have been amazing thru it all. No compaints.. just words of encouragement and support from these 4 amazing kids of mine. While I hate that we missed Thanksgiving.. they reasure me that things will be ok no matter what as long as we are together. There is nothing more I would love to do than to make sure we have roof over our heads that they can call home. With the help of a few amazing people in our lives we found a home. We have been turned down left and right in our area due to the fact that I make one income with no assistance other than EBT. Child support is far to none.  Luck has started to show its face these last few days as we finally have an option. So I am now biting my prideful tongue and asking for any help financially to help us secure a home for the holidays. We are to be out of this home in just a little over a week but need moving money. I never ask for anything without giving my time in return. While my time is limited with all the moving and packing, I will do graphic design jobs for donations to our cause. My kids deserve to have the stress resolved and a warm place to live. While they are my strength and motivation I know they are worried that things wont work out. We dont have much family.. well we have friends that have shown to be an amazing extended family. The small family we do have can not help financial. They are not local and are financially tight as well. I am thankful for those of you that know my situation and have kept me from feeling like giving up. I thank you all for showing my kids and I love and support like you have. If I can do edits, designs, logos, biz cards, fb banners, xmas cards... I am pretty skillful..I will offer that in return. Shares and prayers are also very appreciated.  Thank you for even listening. Blessings to all.
