Help A Homeless Family that's separated Reunite!

Donation protected
Hi, My name is Qiana and I am raising money to help Reunite my family. We became homeless in October of 2023, and we're currently separated due to the situation. There's a lot to our journey and I really don't know how to tell our story.... It's been tough on myself, my 16yr old son, 15yr old daughter, and 5yr old son and our 8yr old Golden Retriever! Well, I became employed in April, so I was working really hard to save money to get my kid's into a safer environment and still paying rent(that increased 3xs once I became employed) became overwhelming.... I lost track of the rent and missed one month and we ended up on the streets. From October 4th to November 3rd we were sleeping in our truck. During this time my job approved my PLA(personal leave of absence, without pay), so that was truly a Blessing.... In that 30 days, I ended up being admitted to the hospital with heart failure, with a hemoglobin count of one(it's supposed to be 12)and extreme fatigue. I was pretty much on deaths door from all of the stress that I was enduring. It was hard but my FAITH kept me going! I was discharged from the hospital, but I was still very sick and still homeless.... With it get colder and the women's and family shelters being full, we had no choice but to stick together and push through.... Unfortunately, in November, in order to save my life, I made the hard decision to move with my 5yr old to South Carolina(with my sister) and leave my two older children with my parents(due to them getting into a bit of trouble). I also had to return back to work by November 6th, so it worked out fine.... With the help of an anonymous person through a community resource, I was able to get to South Carolina, safely. I am currently looking for housing for myself and my 4 baby's, but it's been hard, cost of living is a little higher in this state. I'm working hard to make it happen for my small family.... This is exactly the kind of environment that I want for my children and as a single mother, its painful being without ALL of my babies! The holidays are passing and my heart is broken because we've never been apart, and I've noticed that it's starting to affect my kids. On top of everything, on December 15, 2023, I was let go from my job, due to missing work to appear in court for my oldest kids(which was mandatory and I had proof for my job).... So, that made it even harder on me, and my children. Seems its a set back to us being Reunited. I fight back tears all day every day because I feel like I've failed them as a mother but I know that's not true....  I've given them my all and I am not giving up!!!! Mom's not a quitter, so I am reaching out to the world on behalf of my family and anything will help us reach our goal.... God Bless all of you, who take the time to just stop by and read our story. Thank you in advance for your loving donations towards our new home and family vehicle!(I had to sale our truck for the move).
