Hello family, friends, and all who I may not know. It's not easy for me to ask for help. If you know me, you know I usually struggle through things on my own. I've always been like this. But now, I've reached a point where I can no longer handle the emotional and mental burden by myself.

A year ago, I became a single mom after ending a 15-year relationship. It was the hardest decision I've ever made, but I couldn't endure the emotional and mental abuse any longer. My two daughters, aged 13 and 5, seem happier now that it's just the three of us. However, with minimal financial support from their father, things have been incredibly tough. The debts from our past are catching up to me, making it nearly impossible to find a better and bigger place to live.

I work 40 hours a week and was working an additional 30 hours on weekends until I was recently laid off(from the additional job I had which was really helping us financially). Now finances are even tighter. We currently live in a small one-bedroom apartment and dream of moving to a bigger place. With almost no family around, I have no support system. Raised in foster care, I have no one to turn to for help or support.

I'm reaching out now to ask for help, prayers, words of encouragement, and any positivity you can send our way. I'm doing my best to give my daughters the life they deserve, but I need some help to get a clean slate. I need to pay off these bills and debts and move into a bigger place for my girls and me. If you have made it this far, thank you for taking the time to hear my story and struggles.
