A New Home for Pauline (Selayma) and The Girls
Donation protected
Sometimes life hands you lemons. Then you make lemonade! Or at least you try. We've been making a LOT of lemonade over the past 11 years. But the tree has run dry.
Some of your know me as Pauline. Some know me as Selayma. Among other things, I'm a dancer/instructor of 38 years. Eleven years ago, I took guardianship of my granddaughters, one of whom was going through cancer treatments, at age 9. All of them are special needs. Life isn't always a straight and steady road. We had a lot of issues, that required constant attention and care. So I quit a job that I loved, to meet those requirements and provide the attention that they needed.
Fast forward to 2.5 years ago, I was injured at work from a fall. I was working with a school district as a SpEd Paraeducator. After surgery on my shoulder, the shoulder became worse than before the surgery. I am still trying to "strengthen the knee" re torn meniscus, and I'm still fighting worker's comp, as I am unable to work within my usual capacity. And this still excludes dancing, teaching dance, and fitness classes for now.
The bigger issue of not enough income then arose, so I sold my cute little mobile home for a fast sale and bought an RV so that we wouldn't be out on the street. I just couldn't juggle the monthly space and utilities anymore. For 1.5 years, this was our home.
Three weeks ago while sleeping, we were rear ended, while parked at my mom's house. The RV is totaled. And it was a hit and run. My liability insurance doesn't cover it either.
Now we're trying to get it together to find a new home. We're not looking for a house because we do not have the monthly income for rent. We're looking for another RV. An RV park is the best option for our current financial situation.
We are hoping that we can raise some of the costs to purchase a new home. Mina is in beginning her college journey and Mikala is in school. Any help is appreciated.
