Save This Family From Homelessness
Donation protected
Let me introduce you to my family....
To start, we've been living in poverty for years however, things have gotten significantly worse rather recently. After being used and abandoned by family in combination with the recent loss of a family member and surviving a terrible local job market and a tornado - things have become dire. My family includes the patriarch, my dad, Michael. He's 71 years old and has taken out multiple loans, destroying what little income he has, in a desperate attempt to pay our rent. My mom, the family matriarch, just recently got hired after months of job searching. Then there's me, the oldest child and caretaker, who has a job that doesn't provide any kind of decent hours and has been looking for a second job for months. Multiple things came together to lead us here, at the front door of homelessness. We can barely keep our lights on, food in our stomachs, and our pets cared for and now we can no longer keep a roof over our heads. On top of everything else, everyone in my little family has a physical disability, which means that staying in work has been incredibly difficult. So please, if you can find it in your hearts, help my family stay off the streets. We're honest, hard working folks who have just run out of every option possible.
