Help a family rocked by crisis
Donation protected
I'm a single mom to 2 kids and I'm in desperation. My family has been rocked by crisis after crisis. My beautiful daughter was sexually assaulted last summer and it shook us as a family. The impact on all of our lives was beyond anything you can imagine. It affected not only her but myself and my ability to do my job well. I parted ways with my employer in March and have been struggling to take care of not only her mental health but my own as well. I am trying to find employment but dealing with a major depressive episode has made it very hard. I've sold jewelry for less than cost, done odd jobs for friends but I'm tapped out. I've had gifts of food and time from precious people but I am scared I won't be able to pay my bills. I'm trying to get on Income Assistance but the process is longer than I thought it would be. I just need a buffer to get back on my feet. I've worked since I was 17 years old and never had an issue finding a job, until now. I never ask for help but in this case I have no choices left.
