We have an Emergency.

Hello to all my freinds, family and aquaintences. My name is Janyll Helena. I am a single mother of two beautiful daughters; Jianna (8) and Athena-Marie (1).
Today I had to swallow my pride and ask for your help because of a really bad situation me and my family are in.  It is very hard for me to share my story with you all because it is very personal, but this is bigger than me right now. This is about my kids and our well being.

Years ago, in 2013 I became disabled physically and mentally after a terrible car accident. Since then I've been struggling to keep things together financially and emotionally for all of us. After over two years I was finally able to start working again part time, but still very hard  because of my injuries and limitations. I found a great opportunity with Uber where I was able to make my own schedule and work when I could and still make a decent income with minimal hours.  A few months ago my kids and I were living in a homeless shelter in NY for 7 months, we were rejected daily when it came to looking for proper and permanent housing. I was lucky enough to get out of there with the help of my family, but everyone has their own struggles and it was just a temporary living situation until I could find a place for us to live. Finally I decided it would be best if I relocated my kids and I to New Jersey where rent was more affordable and where I would be closer to work (Uber NJ). So I did what I thought was best.

Ive been living in Phillipsburg, New Jersey for a few months now and it's really a beautiful town. The only problem is that we are alone here. This is not NY, there are no trains and the lifestyle is very different. Help is not available to us like it was in NY. Being that I am limited physically and mentally I was only able to work very little, as much as I could handle. Like 95% of Americans, we lived check to check, but still fell behind and were mandated to Landlord Tenants court for eviction. I was able to make a deal with them to keep our apartment. I just had to give them some money every week (all of my earnings from Uber) and all of my daughters Survivors Benefits at the end of the month until I could catch up on the arears. If I was going to keep a roof over our heads I was going to have to sacrifice from one place to give to another, so I had to stop making the payments on my car to pay the back and current rent.

Just this Sunday my car (my only source of income) was reposessed! I know that to many people having a vehicle is a minor issue that can be worked around, but to me it's mandatory to keep our car.  Without our car we have no way around. We are pretty much stuck here in Phillipsburg and cant see our family, can't get to my doctors appointments, physical therapy, phycologists, school, and most importantly, I lose my car, I lose the only job that I can get that allows me to work at a pace I can handle. Living with bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, depression and orthopedic limitations, it has become very difficult for me to maintain a regular job. Now that I lost my car, and job, I have no way to keep making my court ordered payments to keep our apartment and in just a matter of weeks we will be homeless again.

Friends and family, I kindly ask of you for help to get my car out of reposession so that I can get back to work immediately and save me and my family from homelessness. We have nowhere else to go, everyone has their own situation going on. My daughter Jianna just started the 3rd grade here in Phillipsburg and she loves it here. She's even going to audition for the Drama Club which I swear to you, she was born to do.
Recently in May, my daughter Jianna's father (Larry Cepeda) passed away. This tragedy has been very hard for us, especially for my daughter Jianna who's innocence keeps me strong enough to deal with life. He was her best friend. Larry and his wonderful girlfriend Nicole did everything for my daughter that I couldn't do alone. Now that He's not here with us anymore I feel like I have to fill a void I can never fill. Having to take Jianna out of school again and relocating for the 4th time in 1 year will crush her. I really don't think I can handle that with all we've been through in the past 3 years. Having stability is the one request Larry always asked of me. I try so hard to give that to our family but it's just been an on-going challenge.

Please, if you can find it in your hearts to donate today, anything you are willing to help us with, it will be tramendously appreciated. Please help me get our family car back so that we can keep pushing forward with our lives. This time I will force myself to work through the pain and the exhaustion to make sure that I don't let this happen again. I found someone I can trust to help with my kids and all I need is another opportunity to go out there and hustle to give my kids and I a better life.
I've been training on a new skill called Scalp Micro Pigmentation (permanent hairloss solution) that when ready, will set us free from most of these financial struggles. I always do what I have to do to hustle hard. I'm a New Yorker, I never stop dreaming, I never stop believing. All I ask is for another chance, and with your help today I know that things can be alright. If I don't get our vehicle back by the end of the week it will be auctioned off and we will have another Demon to face. I have faith in my God that he will get us through this.

I thank you for your time in reading my story, and I thank you in advance for your helping hand. I couldn't express to you enough how grateful we are for your donations and your kindness to help someone else. I vouch to pay it forward. Thank you, and God bless you all.
