I have been so hesitant to do this, but I don't know what else to do. Me and my son are currently homeless. I am a single mother. I was being abused for a long time by my family, and it got to the point of physical abuse, so I had to leave for my son's safety. I have a police report and am in touch with Women in Distress and will be discussing housing resources with them next week.

I have been struggling for a very long time trying to get out of there. I have been to shelters and sober livings but was unable to stay for a long period. I am still clean and sober and doing the best I can to stay that way. I need to get my own place and get some sort of stability until I get back on my feet. I am looking for job resources and housing resources and doing everything I can. I can't hold down a job because of how often I have to pull my son out of school because of his illnesses, but I am still trying. I DoorDash full-time right now, but it's not enough.

Once I am stable, things will be so much easier to get ahead. I work my butt off to make sure my son is always safe and fed, but right now is the last resort. I am in a state of emergency and need help. Anything you can donate is helpful. Please donate and share with others if you can. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and help.
