Relocation

Hey friends and family,

There’s no elegant way to share this other than just saying I need your help. A lot of you know that a few years ago I lost both my parents. It was an incredibly difficult and the loss still remains incredibly difficult. 2 months ago, my boyfriend of 3 years decided to join the Army. He has been my rock through all of the loss in my life and to be honest I was terrified to be alone without him for an extended period of time. After speaking with my brother, Rodney, we decided when he joins and is gone for his 9 months of training, I should move to Augusta, Ga to have the support of him through this transition. My brother stepped up and said he would help by being there for me. Last month I left California and drove to Georgia. Moving cross country is no joke, but I packed up everything I owned that would fit in my car, got rid of the rest and made the decision to basically start over. As scary as my partner leaving is, knowing I would be close to my brother made it seem more manageable.

My brother has been my best friend. He died this past weekend. I can’t make sense of it. He was my support and now he’s gone. It’s hard for me to even type this because I don’t want it to be real, but this is my reality. I’ve experienced so much loss at just 33 years old. I’ve lost my family. I’ve only been here a month and I can’t see myself staying in Georgia alone. I live alone and my boyfriend is basically unreachable because of bootcamp. It’s expensive to go to his funeral - it’s expensive to relocate… again. I signed a lease and it’s $7,000 to break it. I can’t stay here. Every second of everyday here I feel more and more alone. I need to be close to the little family I have left.

I need help y’all. Please… if you have anything to spare to help me, please spare it. I can’t do this on my own. I’m well over $8,000 in debt from this tragedy. I work full time. I am self sufficient. I’ve tried to do all the right things and somehow life keeps knocking me down. This is hard.

Please share if you feel led. Please donate if you feel led. Please pray for me as well. This is the hardest thing emotionally, physically and financially I have experienced.
