HELP !! Single mom from losing her children

Donation protected
Hi, I am a single mother , and I am trying desperately to keep a roof over my children’s heads.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I’m not someone who asks for help easily. I’ve always tried to be strong for my kids, to handle everything on my own — even when it meant struggling in silence. But right now, I am truly at my breaking point. And I’m begging for help, because I don’t know what else to do.

A few months ago, I lost my job — the only source of income I had to support my family. I was working so hard to provide stability, routine, and safety for my children. I didn’t have much, but I made sure they were fed, clothed, and loved. I made our little apartment feel like a home — warm, safe, full of love and bedtime stories. But when I lost my job, everything started to unravel.

I’ve applied for countless jobs, tried to find help wherever I could, but it’s just not enough. Every day I wake up terrified — wondering how I’ll feed my kids, how long we have left before the eviction notice becomes reality, and where we’ll go if we lose our home. The thought of my babies having to sleep in a car or a shelter haunts me.

I’m doing everything I can — selling belongings, going without meals so my kids can eat, and looking for work every single day. But the bills don’t stop. Rent is behind. Utilities are about to be cut off. I feel like I’m drowning. And my children are watching me fall apart, and I don’t want them to remember me like this.

I need help to cover rent, just enough to get us through until I can find steady work again. I’m not asking for luxuries. I just want to keep my children safe, warm, and off the streets.

If you're a parent, or if you’ve ever known what it feels like to be terrified of losing everything — please, I’m asking from the bottom of my heart: help us.

Even $5 makes a difference. Every donation is a blessing. And if you can’t donate, please share this with someone who might be able to. Every act of kindness helps us hold on to hope.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Thank you for seeing us.

With love,
and my babies.
