Help a HOMELESS family get onto their feet
Donation protected
Hello, My name is Emily Elizabeth.
I would like to be completely open and transparent with each of you - my FRIENDS and FAMILY. That is a difficult thing to do because I am struggling with maintaining my professional integrity as I am HIGHLY embarrassed and realizing the level of urgent need facing my sons and me.
I realize that this may come across as someone asking for a hand out, BUT it is not. What I am asking for is the understanding and compassionate financial support of people who understand what it is to be in sudden transition.
It is in my professional integrity, and integrity of a single mother that I ask for your financial support in overcoming this stressful moment in our lives. I am an awesome visibility strategist, who strategically helps female entrepreneurs and coaches to confidently speak their truth, build their platform, expand their reach, and amplify their voice globally.
I am head of household, provider, and mom of a 9 and 10-year-old. While the journey of single motherhood has not been an easy journey as we rode the rollercoaster of homelessness for the past 2 years.
Things were beginning to take a turn for the better until unforeseen events caused our happiness to be short-lived as the chain of events that unraveled forced us out of the home we obtained in February due to me being completely naive and never signing a lease agreement nor obtaining a mailbox key.
I was informed by the landlord a week after moving in as it was a storage room newly converted into a studio and the apartment was unregistered.
Fast forward three months later the landlord is attempting to sell the property however couldn’t with us living there therefore the landlord forced us out by turning off the electricity, and a week later changed the locks with our possessions still inside.
This has been an emotionally, psychologically, and financially devastating time for my children and me as I sought legal representation and assistance just to be informed that due to the fact I did not sign a lease I have absolutely no rights and sadly don’t qualify for community assistance at this time.
However I know, without doubt, or hesitation, that once we successfully obtain housing and I restore my energy that I can and will be able to make it as I have paid over $2000 in the last month for this hotel. I just CANNOT afford all that it takes to get into a place, keep my son’s in a hotel and food in their stomach all at once
Yet today, I NEED YOUR SUPPORT in this momentary downturn in order to not only keep this hotel room which costs $70 a night but to also obtain a stable home which will costs around $3000 just for first and last and lights, as I am wanting to ensure we are stable as they go back to school virtually.
Please for me, my sons and the success of my business, support by donating $5.00 (or MORE if you like) so that I can keep this roof overhead, obtain a home and my sons can go to school well-prepared, and I can obtain coaching to break this cycle I have been going through.
