Help Single Mom Get Back on Feet

Donation protected
My name is Kimberly.  Most people know me by Kim and if you knew me, you'd know that my asking others for help in this manner is one of the most difficult things for me to do. As a hard working single mother, I have always been able to take care of mine and my son's needs. I had a good job, a home, a car and money for our necessities. 

This all changed on February 29, 2016 when my only child, Ki was shot and suffered a traumatic brain injury. He has been hospitalized ever since that day.

I had a good life. And then my son was shot. I  had just started my job, so I did not qualify for FMLA. My job gave me two choices: come back to work or resign. I had no choice--I had to be with my son.  With no income, I lost my home and was living in my car. With no income, I lost my car. My friends set up this page for me nearly one year ago, shortly after that tragic day. Through the generosity of family, friends and hospital employees, I've made it this far, but I am at a desperate point and faced with asking for help. 

Now that Ki is in a better long term care facility, I am looking for work and have had several promising interviews. Until I get a job and receive a paycheck, I am without a place to stay and money for food or metro to visit my son. 

Please consider a gift of any kind until I can get back on my feet. 

I'm just like you.  February 28th 2016 I had a new job, a home, car and a beautiful 17 year old son.

On February 29, 2016...my world turned upside down!
