In a state of crisis
Donation protected
My name is Lidia Gonzalez, and it feels like just over night my life was thrown completely upside down.
I am 5 months pregnant with a beautiful baby boy, but my pregnancy is high risk, and, as a result, has kept me from being able to work until after he is born.
My spouse was on his way to another state to work in order to support us since his current job was not providing work. It was already very difficult to see him leave for a few months, but there was no other alternative.
On the way there, though, just 30 minutes into the next state, he was pulled over for a broken windshield and quickly devolved into a man simply trying to work and provide for his family being taken into custody and turned over to ICE for deportation.
Amongst the emotional pain and distress, this has caused my daughter, unborn son, and I to be penniless and in serious danger of becoming homeless since he is absolutely unable to work and I am unable to work due to my pregnancy, either. We have a month left on our rent. I have been applying to and calling and contacting emergency housing and Christian charities left and right to try and get all the help I can, but many have not been open for applications or will not be open anytime soon, and my current situation is too time sensitive to wait around for a place to open, just to only maybe be able to be taken in.
My rear windshield was recently smashed in for no reason by a stranger, leaving my car undrivable, so we only have my daughter's car between the two of us to go and apply for help and for her to apply for jobs and for my medical appointments.
I am looking into any and every outlet I can to try and get help but in the meantime, my family and I are still in desperate need of help. We have no money for bare essentials, much less next month's bills or money to fix my windshield so I can at least have a working car. We are in severe need of help, and I have no other option but to turn to kind individuals who may be able to extend me some help in my time of need.
My family and I would very, very deeply appreciate any help whatsoever. Even if you cannot spare, simply sharing and spreading the word is a great help.
