Mama bear and 5 cubs starting over

I'm starting over with my 5 children after a very difficult, very painful marriage. The things that my children have seen in their short lives... No one should see in a lifetime. Yet, I stayed because I thought I could best protect my children by being there with them as much as possible. I couldn't bear to think of what would have happened in my absence. Recently, I just had to find the strength to move on... For me and for my beautiful children.

I'm desperately trying to start over in the best way possible, and part of that includes trying to keep my credit intact.

Our house is for sale, we have an interested buyer, and the home inspection was completed. Now, however, I realize that the sale is likely to fall through if the necessary repairs aren't completed. And, I just don't have the funds. Even with the sale, I will completely break even. There stands to be no profit.

Even after working so hard to prevent it, we will end up in foreclosure if this doesn't go through.

Providing for my 5 children alone is going to be a struggle. However, I know in my heart that this is my only choice. I need to provide my children with the happiest childhood that I can.

I'm strong enough to admit that I'm doing the right thing and also strong enough to realize I need to ask for help.
