Fundraising for a travel trailer, a forever home

I have hit a dead end!

It's literally one more financial burden after the next.

I am looking for work daily!!

This is an update and a hope to be able to still reach our goal of gathering funds for a down payment for a decent used travel trailer that no one can jeopardize or take away from us.

All I found for 1k near us were in pretty bad shape, my head gaskets are going out in my truck also. So scared to travel, too, too far.

The amount of harassment and manipulation, loss of livlihood I have endured after moving into this place has really effected my girls and my mental health.

I have been told it is my fault for moving into a place where the landlord and other tenant had issues and on going court proceedings. I should have never known about any of their issues, in my opinion.

I do owe rent now, because I lost my job due to being so consumed and unwillingly pulled into these strangers on going issues.

The landlord called me and texted me daily starting the day I started moving in, constantly asking if there had any problems, telling me stories of her (the neighbor) holding someone up at knife point, telling me she wont stop messing with him untill he is dead etc, just really getting my defense up how ever he could, knowing i have ptsd, and bp2, anxiety, have been held hostage before and am a dv survivor, yet he still persisted to highten my all of my sense and posted a video of me defending myself and our home from my second encounter with the attached neighbor, his ex/tenant after she told me she could enter my home and space any time she wanted, becauseshe didn'thave a lease with me (she has no ownership or say)..

There is an ugly history there and I never meant to ever impose, was just trying to get my girls into a safer environment, which this somehow turned out worse.

I have had people slamming on the side of my girls bedroom at midnight while screaming outside, have been intimated and left to feel extremely vulnerable.

I used the previous funds to get caught up.on my truck payment and have stretched it out to help keep us afloat, unfortunately it wasn't enough for us to move from.this situation and I am desperate.

I just want a good opportunity for us, a good steady job and a roof no one can jeopardize.

I have found a few used trailers that will be great for us, I just need ro raise the funds and am praying, hoping and crossing all.my fingers and toes I can get help with donations.

I know times are so difficult for so many and my situation isn't as bad as so many others, I just need to make sure my babies are taken care of and safe, as I am all they have..

Thank you so much for being understanding & empathetic..

(I am very overwhelmed so this was typed up very fast I am open to answering any questions anyone may have!

Safe, secure home for vulnerable family of 3.

To whoever may stop and read this,

I hope you are well, safe, and loved.

I am having to gather my thoughts as I write this; my brain has been overwhelmed and in protection mode.

I am feeling extremely vulnerable and defeated.

I have fought for security and stability since I was about 12 years old. Everything I did as a young girl was cause for being kicked out by my mom, her ex-husband, or her friends I would sometimes stay with, so knowing I had unconditional love and security in a home was not a luxury I have ever had.

I have tried so hard to make sure my girls would NEVER have to feel these same insecurities, but unfortunately, that has not been our reality for the past year or so now.

We just moved from an extremely toxic apartment complex, where we were dealing with a lot of neglect from the property management, including black mold, trash everywhere (including drug needles, bottles with urine in them, etc.), bugs in our place, drug addicts and homeless people sleeping and overdosing in the stairwells and parking lot. It was a lot, and I worked hard to find us a place that was safer and more secure outside of the toxic destruction happening outside of our home.

I helped as many as I could while I was there, took care of a few babies for months at a time while their parents were out doing whatever they were doing. I never asked for a dime or recognition; I was just doing what my heart deemed right at that time, even if I was the only support my girls or the other babies had. Thankfully, all those babies and their families are doing okay now and making moves for the better.

I am very happy they are all doing better, but unfortunately, my girls and I are not and do not have a family/friend support system, it's just me and we are desperate for safety and security.

We moved into a duplex on Feb 3rd, 2025, just a little over a month ago now, and it has been a nightmare.

I knew the landlord and the tenant attached to our unit had an ongoing court battle. I didn't know the extent of it, as it did not pertain to me or my daughters; we were just renting a new place and hoping to call it home.

Well, the neighbor/tenant has done everything she can to make sure we are uncomfortable, posting a no smoking sign on my unit (yes, I am a smoker; it's my only loyal crutch I wish I didn't feel I need), setting her alarm on her vehicle off when I pull in the driveway (one time it went off for approximately 12.5 minutes while I was finishing up a call before going inside), blocking and obstructing me from safely entering or exiting the driveway (she was just hit pulling out of the driveway, so she knows the dangers). She has placed 2 cameras facing my vehicle and my front door, has stated she is co-owner, threatening to have us removed and that she can can enter my place or side of the property at any time without warning (she is not on the property title or tax info, and I never met her before, nor do I have any type of contract with her).

The tenants before me have had a couple of protection orders out on her, plus a couple of civil cases. The landlord/owner has a protection order on her and cannot even come onto his own property. ALL the officers I have spoken to have told me I need to get out ASAP and that she is dead set on making anyone here miserable.

I just wanted to rent a place for my girls, and instead of getting to celebrate and enjoy it, we are being harassed, disrespected, and made victims of the toxic abuse.

We have never had some of the simple things like a decent yard, laundry room, dishwasher, garage, and just elbow room to just be in and were so excited to enjoy these simple luxuries, and now not so much; we just want out.

If I could get a nice travel trailer we can just rent a space for and comfortably live in with our furbabies, that would be ideal.

My 13-year-old fights depression and anxiety extremely bad, and this situation definitely is not helping, when that was the goal.

My 9-year-old is very outgoing and eager typically, but now feels like she has to stay quiet and stay in the house instead of joining her dog in the yard.

As soon as we moved in, I unfortunately was laid off from my job and don't have much left from playing catch up with bills from my taxes, and my unemployment is barely enough to get by on. I am job hunting daily, but also don't know what is going to happen from one moment to the next here and am worried to leave our place and belongings in it for too long.

We just want safety and security in a home no one can jeopardize.

Very sorry for this being so long, I just want to be transparent.

Thank you

I will use these funds to move us somewhere safer and more affordable, which moving cost are at least 6k if not more these days, or what I really want to do is get a nice sized travel trailer for a good price and just make us a home on the go.

We already consider our truck our second home, from being homeless when we left our dv situation a few years ago, so we won't mind‍♀️

My girls just need a space for some personal space and growth and we'll be good.
