State of Emergency

Donation protected
It is most difficult for me to ask others for help, but today, I find myself in a state of emergency.

I am not, nor have I ever been a wealthy woman. I have been a single mother for years and have struggled. But, I always managed well on my own. In recent months, with the cost of living rising higher than my earning potential, I found it was in my best interest to sell my home. It made sense to do so, as my children are grown and the home is too big for me, anyway. Selling it would afford me some equity and allow me to find a new place to live, and reset my life.

I listed my home, received an offer, and thought it was sold. Closing was set for 3:30, August 15. Two hours before closing, I received a call that it was not going to happen. The buyer's lender did not verify her income and she cannot afford my house. Because I thought it was sold, I spent all of my money on my moving truck, and securing my new residence, and other expenditures moving results in. I also took time off work to pack, and vacate my home so the new buyers could move in after closing. Today, I am broke, and am praying for a miracle so that I may have the time necessary to sell the house again.

My mortgage was not paid on August 1, because it is steep, and I used that money to help with my moving expenses. I spoke with my bank to work that out, and they were not concerned because we all believed the house would sell and they would get their full amount due. Not only am I out my moving expenses, my deposit on the new residence, but I am also officially behind on my mortgage.

Now, I have to move back home, but with all of my funds gone due to the move, and the forfeiture of the funds I placed on my new residence, I am asking for help so I can relist my home and not lose it, and my equity to a foreclosure. I just know the house will sell again. The response I received with my listing was wonderful. I just need the grace of a couple more months to make it happen.

If you can find it in your heart to help me, I will be so eternally grateful. I am out of options. I would never ask for help if my situation were not dire. I am so sorry to have to ask, but I do not know what else to do, and for the first time in my life, I am in a state of emergency. It is both humbling and embarrassing for me to find myself in this situation because I am a responsible person and have simply found myself in a terrible situation I cannot get myself out of alone. Simply put, I need a miracle now and am hoping that by the grace of others, I am granted one.

Thank you in advance for reading, and for your consideration. Thank you in advance for your shares, should feel so generous to do so. I cannot express enough how much any and all kindness will mean to me.

With great humility and appreciation,
