Hi there. I'm Arica, a mom deeply struggling. Here's my current story.

At the beginning of 2025 I left someone who was abusing me for years. I have since had to move 3 times out of making things work, facing a home with major mold, a basement with major flooding, to a home with major plumbing issues.

It has been nonstop and has crippled me financially. I've been working really hard in recent months to go back to work and move towards getting off my disability. I took a part time job. But that just will never save me from my situation.

Then Sunday night my car was totaled in a hit and run. I'm borrowing a family car. I owe money on that car and can't afford a deductible if there is one.

I feel very stuck and very alone especially as I navigate all this with a child in school and a competitive sport.

I did away with dance squares and am trying here. I just really need help right now.

I am grasping for air. I'm out of medication I need. Please consider helping me and my girl/sharing our story. The pressure has gotten to me. Love you and thank you all who took the time to read this.
