- Hi, my name is Myra. I am a mother of 3 wonderful kids. Two of them are adults going to college and working. I am so proud of them. My two older kids and I pay rent all together, but unfortunately, I was involved in a car accident. The impact fractured my shoulder. My doctor referred me to a chiropractor, which I attended for 3 months. You guys can only imagine the pain I went through, but like we all know, bills don't stop. The rent went up, and at this point, it was out of our budget. We were not able to pay $2,450 anymore. My two older kids went their way, like they should; that's life. So at that point, I had to try to figure out what to do, but unfortunately, I have an eviction on my record, so that made it twice as difficult to be able to get approved for an apartment. I was running out of time, and the stress of not knowing where I was going to take my daughter was overwhelming. As much as I tried, every door was closing on me. So at this point, the only option I had was the car, yes, to live in my car. And right when I thought nothing could be worse than this, I was wrong, very wrong. I couldn't see myself putting my daughter through the situation of sleeping in a car, so the toughest decision that I have made in all my life was to allow my daughter to live with her dad, even though I know that's not what she wanted. I felt broken and defeated. I remember that day every day I am without her. Every day I talk to her, and every day she asks if I found a place. My heart breaks every time I tell her no. So at this point, I am asking for help to be able to purchase an RV for my daughter and me. Any donation is a blessing. I will much appreciate it.
