Help a Dedicated Mother Keep Her Home

I truly don’t even know how to start. I am a 39-year-old mother of three. I was recently working at an elementary school as a TA in the ED classrooms from kindergarten to fifth grade. Before that, I worked at a middle school in the inclusion class for kids with emotional and behavioral disabilities. However, I don’t have work during the summer. The plans I had fell through. I have done my best with trying to do deliveries as a side job. I had money saved up for the summer, but a lot of issues came up and, unfortunately, my savings disappeared.

Also, my body gets tired quickly. I have EDS, Marfan syndrome, POTS, small fiber neuropathy, fibromyalgia amongst other things. There are days I struggle to just get out of bed. I try my best not to make excuses and play the pity party. But sadly, that tends to happen more than I want. I have made due to a lot of family and loved ones help. I just can’t see myself continuing to mooch off of them. I am so grateful for them. I do have a job lined up which I should be starting in a week .

With that being said, I am drowning in debt. I have so many loans that I am behind on. One that is taking me to court. I am behind on bills, car insurance and most importantly my rent. I have $50 to my name and my rent is $500, and they won’t accept that payment unless I pay $100 towards my very late water bill. Which is already past due. I have till August, 5th 2024 to make $1,000.

I am asking to raise $1,000 to be able to pay rent, water, insurance and my wifi that my daughter uses for school. I am ashamed and disappointed in myself. I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t try all avenues. I have called organizations and family has bailed me out all summer. I don’t want to lose my home. I proudly bought for me and my kids after leaving an extremely toxic relationship. I am just tired. I am stressing my body out so much I am now sick and can’t do deliveries. This is just a chance for help. I would be forever grateful. And when I am able, I will pass it on to those that are in need. I hope all that made sense. I did ramble a lot. Thank you for reading.
