Family in dire need of help
Donation protected
My family has very recently suffered a devastating tragedy. The father of my children has passed. He had an infection in his brain that caused massive swelling and brain damage. He woke up one morning saying that he felt like he was coming down with the flu and 13 days later he was gone. His two oldest boys (my step sons) are 10yrs and 8yrs old and have continued to live with me. We have a 20mnth old son together and our first girl is due in February. He was an amazing father. Every day he came home from a long day of work, took a few minutes for himself, and then spent the rest of the evening playing with his children.
Now, I have found myself trying to pick up the pieces. He was the soul provider. I stayed home to raise our kids. Especially being pregnant, I can't find employment. I am working on getting assistance but it is proving to be a slow going process. Everything from paying the electric to buying milk is becoming a challenge. I know that if we can just get through this month we will be ok as most assistance available will start next month. I've never been one to ask for help but I will do anything for my family. My children are my world. We've had some wonderful people help to ensure that they will have a Christmas and I am so thankful for that. Now I am humbling myself and asking for help with the essentials that my family needs to get through this month. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have an electric bill that I have no idea how I will pay as well as a water bill. My phone service will be cut off soon which is currently my life line to the world and is also a necessity. I am about to have my license reinstated and my next goal is to find a safe reliable vehicle. Which although it would be extremely helpful, its not (at this time) a priority. If there's anyone that has the means to help us right now, I would be forever grateful to you. No matter how little or big the contribution, any help what so ever would be a blessing. Thank you and God Bless.
