Don't let Rosie lose her mommy

Donation protected
I woke up one morning with a for sale sign in my yard. I had no warning and no time to prepare. My landlord and his wife decided they were putting all their rental properties up for sale due to the fact that they were in their eighties and both needed to go into assisted living. One thing led to another and my daughter had to go into the care of child protective services. I understand many of you will be quick to judge immediately but I ask you please don't. I'm not a drug addict or someone who beat my child. I just have nowhere for my daughter to go. I have two boys as well and I have equal rights to them due to the fact that they have a different father and have a place to live. Everything was coming together and then my car blew up and they said it was more to fix then what it's worth. I'm just looking for a leg up to get my daughter home. She's just a little under 3. With the help I get I can pay first months rent and deposit somewhere and set up bedrooms for my babies and most importantly get my youngest out of foster care. Maybe if I have enough fix my car or buy another even if it's cheap as long as it's safe for my children. Please I'm begging you to remember a time in your life with or without your kids when you didn't know how you would make it. That's where I'm at. Imagine going to bed every night as a parent without your child. I do that every night. Then as much as it hurts to say imagine my innocent 3 year old going to bed every night and not seeing her mommy. Imagine her waking up everyday without mommy.  I know I should have been more prepared for an emergency but I wasn't. Please I don't need a lecture. Trust me I face the worst misery I possibly could from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. Thank you so much for reading this and I ask that you pass it on.
