Desperate for help

Donation protected
Please see this as a desperate cry for help, that's exactly what this is.

We are a family of 4, almost 5, and we have come upon extremely hard times. This is our absolute last resort and something I did not even want to do. For the last year, we have struggled to stay caught up. We made a big move in the hopes of a better opportunity, but that did not end up being the case. We traded doing okay and potentially going forward to go completely backwards which we didn't forsee before making the move.

We are in the process right now of trying to help our mothers out as well as raise two kids on very little income. We have no babysitter for the kids and have been struggling to get them in school so only my fiance can work. We haven't been able to keep our phone on. Our moms are not able to work. Right now, we are about to lose all of our stuff in storage and possibly our house we are renting. 

I have been looking into working from home, but everything I have looked into requires payment up front or a computer and internet. There have been times I get the kids and walk to WiFi so I can communicate with my fiance or look up what we need or use a WiFi number to make some calls. The stroller is in storage, so I can't do that much. I have had to quit working on 2 of my degrees because other things were a priority so we couldn't pay them.

We are supposed to be paying my mom's bills, plus helping his mom with the house bills plus having to pay our storage where all of our stuff is which is very late. If we don't make the payment then all our stuff will be auctioned off.  We are not worried about our stuff, but all of my mom's stuff is in there plus our kids stuff. My mom is super stressed about her stuff and been trying t o find the money somewhere.

We have been doing everything we can, but with no one to help out with our kids I cannot work. My fiance is working 6 days a week from daylight to dark for very little money. We gave up our vehicle because we couldn't make the payments so we are using our mom's cars and we can barely get the gas for him to get to work. If they have appointments that overlap and can't ride together then my fiance can't get to work.

I hope people don't look at this and think we are just asking for money just because. I can tell you what the money will be going for. We really just need a big boost so we can actually provide for our kids; even if that means moving to another location that will better provide for us financially.

We have been presented with opportunities twice now that sounded extremely promising and we ended taking pay cuts we could not afford and that is how we have gotten so far behind. I know it is a lot, but it is what we need to help both our moms with their past due bills, catch up on our bills, potentially get a vehicle, and help us move.
