Support us in finding a new home

This has been difficult to create. I don't want to attack anyone and I don't want to make others see anyone in a bad light. This is strictly out of necessity as I am struggling.

Long story short: Chad and I have decided to part ways. This decision was mutual and amicable. We are still best friends who are coparenting our wonderful children. We have just decided that this is the best decision for the time being as we were creating a toxic environment for our family due to disagreements with a lot of life situations.

Here is the reason for the fundraiser: I have to move out of my childhood home sooner than later. Where I currently work doesn't make me enough money to rent a normal priced (normal price as of society currently) apartment. For 2 bedrooms it's $1000+ and I clearly cannot afford that. I can't get a new job due to the flexibility I have when it comes to the kids and their daily schedules. I do currently have my own cleaning business but that is what's been keeping me afloat with bills and allowing me to not fall behind. However, I'm not able to afford to live anywhere that requires more money as I'm barely scraping by. I have applied for section 8 and many income based apartments and their waitlist is 18-24 months.

As many of you know, Chad and I are currently renting my childhood home. Our plan was to buy the house but life happens and we couldn't make it work. Because of our separation, he is moving back into his house (that he owns) next month. He is already setting up the rooms for the girls and Sebastian. We will be splitting 50/50 custody of Dallas while also making sure both Cheyenne and Sebastian are able to visit either of us, and their siblings, whenever they want. He has been trying to help me in any department he can due to these circumstances so I'm very grateful for the man and father he is.

With that being said, I can't afford the rent I'd need to live in my current house and my landlords want to sell the house if they aren't collecting income from it. Therefore, they need me to move out before I'm even close to being at the top of the waitlist. Due to the 18-24 month wait on every single thing I've applied for I clearly don't know what to do. I have never been put in this situation before. I know I sound desperate, but at this point I am. I don't know how I'm going to put a roof over my children's heads and I've been struggling a lot mentally, emotionally, and financially.

If you can help, GREAT! If all you can do is share my fundraiser you are much appreciated. I'm running out of options and this whole situation is heartbreaking. Thank you in advance for any support you can give!
