Building a Better Future

Donation protected
I am a single mother to three wonderful children, one of whom has autism, ADHD, and ODD. Due to extenuating circumstances, my children and I have been forced to move in with my mother here in Texas. I am going against every fiber of my being to implor the public to find it within their hearts to assist me in giving us a chance at a better future. The crime rate here has been steadily climbing for years. This town was recently ranked at #7 on the top 10 list for fatality rates in the state. The medical and mental healthcare here is a complete joke. The mental health institution here is just trying to label everyone, including my eldest son, as being mentally retarded while completely ignoring the fact that they need regular counseling in order to learn to manage their disabilities. The cost of living has been steadily on the rise for years, as well, while the federal minimum wage has stayed right at $7.25/hour. If we stay here, we will not be able to survive. My goal amount is an estimate of how much it will cost to move up north in a uhaul while towing a car and the cost of 1 month's rent at the average cost in the area. This does not include anything like bills or food. Hopefully, I will be able to find employment that pays an actual wage within the first month of moving. Please, help us. I would really appreciate any assistance you could offer, even if it's just to share this with others. Blessings
