So here we go.....Im humilated and embarassed that it had to come to this however at this point I have no other options. I need your help. As some of you know I am a single Mom living in California. I have been raising my son on my own since he was 1. This is the hardest thing I have ever done however, also the most rewarding. What is hard though, at times feels impossible, is doing it all completely on my own. I mean all of it. Not just raising him, raising him and everything else a mother has to do to keep food on the table, go to work, and keep a roof over their heads. Last year after 22 years of flying I quit my job as a Flight Attendant. I could no longer do it as a single parent. My training came up and I had to have my son with someone for 5 days and I didnt have anyone, hence I quit. I've been busting my butt doing other things ever since plus homeschooling him. We are reaching new levels and new heights, there is no doubt about that, however we arent there quite yet. Also I will add that when I say I am doing this completely on my own I mean it, there is no child support and hasnt been for quite sometime now. Yes, I am working with child support services on that. This all leads me to why I am even creating this go fund me. Three days before Christmas I got into an accident. To avoid hitting some jaywalking pedestrians I swerved and hit another car. My car was in the body shop for 2 months yes, 2 months. Two days ago I got it out of the body shop and the very next day my son and I were stranded on the side of the road and had to get it towed to a shop. The problem is the hybrid battery is bad and is going to cost 3300 to fix. I only have one thousand dollars of that money. This all has to come out of my pocket. The body shop is not responsible, trust me Ive made lots of calls, nor will insurance pay. I am once again also in another rental which I truly cannot afford to pay for but I have to. Its some good times gone bad people. I barely slept last night and almost threw up going down that rabbit hole in my mind. I cannot afford a new car, I cannot keep driving this rental. If I dont have wheels to go to work then I cannot pay rent. Then God forbid this 49 year old woman and her kid have to move in with her parents and if any of you know my parents and much as I love them that is not a good idea. I really need your help. I am in a bad spot. Imagine not having the help of your spouse or partner and having it all be on you. That is where Im at. Thats all I got folks. If ya help me and my child Ill write your name on the car when i got it back. ha ha ok not really, but definitely on my heart.
