Please help me get better

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mariah. I recently broke my leg and had surgery 11/23/23, I”m unable to perform my normal functions so I need all the help I can get. I'm raising funds for help with my family during times of hardship. I'm a single mother of two amazing boys, who are pleasantly indescribable, and who deserve so much more than I can currently provide. I'm a person with a big heart who tries to be helpful to others when I can, but through tough times, have been helpless when seeking help for myself. I have been battling postpartum depression, PTSD and other related physical illness since 2018, even hospitalized January 2023 for inflammation and health issues. All of this has made it harder for me to recover personally and as the main caregiver in my children's life.

My birthday was November 1st, and I spent it babysitting two children, while also taking care of my own boys, also while packing up my home mentally as I was due to leave my (3 year residence) apartment in 5 days. I didn't ask for the help I needed and desired for years of suffering, sacrificing, and settling until I couldn't keep up anymore or pretend all is well (aka here and now).

My car (I had for only one month) and my sister got in an accident November 5th, while trying to get a u-haul to move out of my apartment. Meanwhile, holding in an emotional and mental breakdown, I was trying keeping calm while I was finishing the last client I would have in my apartment. I was unable to move out most of our family furniture, couches, beds, and even appliances such as family television and more, due to circumstances and timing. My car helps take care of all of our needs, taking my kids to school, providing for my family, getting to work/ clients, and much more.

I have been blessed to make it this far providing for my family, although it takes a village to raise a child, so now I say this village please help my children and I raise up past these hard trails. I'm now in need of help to get stability and more possibilities for me and my family to get further ahead in life. I'm learning to become better at asking to receive better. Any and all help is extremely Helpful, funds and proceeds given to my family will help us grow in more ways than you can imagine.

I will be using the donated proceeds to help get my family a new car, pay with family expenses, medical expenses, and to relocated from a displacing lifestyle, to a place that I can safely and securely turn into a comfortable home. I have faith this can fund a new beginning for my and my family, and an optimistic turn for the better days.

Money donations are very appreciated and mean more than the monetary value in our lives, and any support in other forms or referrals I will be more than grateful to efficiently put to good use what will be given to our family. Help with prayers, encouragement, connections, referrals, gift cards, gifts (maybe even a gifted car), even donations that are thoughtful/helpful for my children are welcome openly. All uplifting and resourceful assistance will be greatly appreciated. I'm so thankful for all blessings god has given us, and I want to thank you all for help and consideration.
