Bring Hope to Talica and Her Sons

Hello. My name is Talica. I’m a single mother of two boys ages 5 and 7. Last year I had a major breakdown. I lost everything including myself. I’ve always been the happy, upbeat, social type of person but during this time I was different. I stopped speaking to everyone even people I consider my closest friends. I slept to escape reality, isolated myself for months. When I did have to leave the house I noticed I developed a bit of social anxiety which was strange being the outgoing person that I am. The trigger of this happened when I came back from a vacation and ending up losing a great job. In the midst of that storm, depression on top of financial struggle my now ex husband decided to leave me. This lead to my kids and I being homeless since 7/23 due to the house/lights being in my name and I wasn’t working at the time to pay it. From there we lived with my grandmother for a while who helped me out a lot as I was still going through depression. Eventually she was ready for us to go so I had a cousin who offered my kids and I a place to stay while I worked on getting on my feet. We were there for a total of 3 1/2 days and the same cousin who took us in actually scammed me by calling my card pretending to be me and sending money to herself. When I confronted her about it she lied of course but what I couldn’t understand is why steal from someone who is already in a worse situation than you? Needless to say we left from there. My cousin started messaging me telling me how much I owed her for those three days and telling me how I’m a horrible mother, how I should kill myself. Little did she know I was already feeling like a horrible mother for even putting us in the situation we were in also and I’d often used to think they would be better off without me even though I’d never give up on them.. haven’t thus far. Currently we’re back at my grandmothers house temporarily. I started this donation because I just recently started a new job and I really want some stability again for my boys. They deserve it. They’ve been through a lot. This donation will help towards the deposit for a new place, and a few pieces of furniture for us. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance! God bless!
