Hand Up,Not Hand Out Fundraiser

We are raising funds due to losing child support income. While it is court ordered, the courts aren't too big on finding him, that all seems to fall on him doing the right thing and reporting a new job (he never has) or me finding and turning him in. We are so grateful for what we have managed to raise so far, you guys are awesome! I'd planned on ending this fundraiser after the holidays but I simply cannot afford the luxury of pride with the cost of heating this place.

If we are going to survive with the heat and power kept on, we are going to need some random acts of kindness. I was forced to get a lawyer regarding issues with child custody and the judge already said he won't make the donor pay, no matter how long he drags it out. So now as I face turning 46 in January, I have to choose between paying the $30 to renew my driver's license or getting my meds. I am trying to find other ways to add to our income but it's feast or famine for everyone in this area. And I'm not really in demand because my skills seem limited to nervous breakdowns and crippling depressions. No excuses, just fact. The world will work to accommodate physical disabilities so you can earn a living but the same cannot be said for mental health disability.

Please share, donate, however you can help. It means the world to us.

And to all of those who have been so kind and generous already...a million times over, thank you, thank you, thank you. You helped Spook and I and our kitties believe in human decency. We just need a little more. The moment the child support it reinstated or someone is willing to hire me...Things will get better for us. I have to believe that, I have faith.
