I’m desperately seeking financial help as a single working mom of a 10yo daughter. I have recently been off work for months due to multiple fibromyalgia flare ups and back and shoulder injuries. My daughter has juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Her biological father has passed but he & his family were never in our lives. My mom is our only family and she moved in with us 2 years ago to help, but she is disabled and I support her more financially than she can support us.

I’ve returned to work even though I’m still sick, but I won’t be paid until the end of February since I’m paid monthly. The county I live in is too expensive and I’m trying to sell my house to move. Honestly I’m humiliated but I have to do whatever it takes so the 3 of us are not homeless. We have no family.

I’m begging for everyone who can offer any dollar amount they have to please help us be a Christmas miracle and save my family from homelessness. If I can pay my mortgage company what I owe these months I could not pay, I would like to sell my house and buy a small home in southern Illinois with the equity. I could then afford our lives and get out of this nightmare. I also need help with moving expenses, since I can’t move my left arm and my mom is disabled. Friends have offered to help, too, but there’s just too much to ask for right now, especially with medical expenses piling up from this illness. Please, I’m begging, please help my family since I’ve been fighting so hard and I just can’t do it alone.

I’m not sure what else to say but thank you for anything you can help with, even forwarding this message on. Merry Christmas!! ❤️
