Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. You are appreciated beyond all measures. Bless you dearly.

I am reaching out for your help with my family (my child, dog, and I) after losing my job and facing immediate financial strain. As a single parent, I am scrambling to find work that fits my hours, and so far, I haven’t had any luck. My parents have helped us as much as they can, and I am so grateful for their support. Now, I am on my own, trying to survive this but obtaining any is just out of my reach. I have never done this before; I am a determined, strong woman who refuses to ask for help, even when I know I probably should. There are so many beautiful human beings in our world willing to provide solace for those in need, and I always try to find a way to figure things out. But this time, I have lost the financial battle and can’t seem to get above without sinking further down.

Bills are piling up—car payments have gone to court, my cellphone was shut off, and car insurance is next - I made a promise to the company to pay them, even though I have no money. Food is just too pricey, and I am behind on rent -I am absolutely grateful for my landlord, who himself has gone into debt from me not paying on time. I am truly blessed and find positivity in all that I face, even though I am beyond stressed and sometimes feel like giving up. I believe I am depressed, but I tend to mask it well, as no one would guess because I keep going, smiling, and loving life no matter what I face. I just don’t know where else to go. I’ve resorted to cleaning someone’s house here and there, but I would really love something more stable. I just want to get above this madness for us—it’s my child and I. The child support I receive helps with gas for my car and some food, but sadly, it’s not enough. My child has had a lot of traumas, and medical bills are high as well. There’s just too much happening all at once financially.

I am a woman of faith who believes in the magic of human beings’ compassionate natures. I have been a giver and provider when I had little to give to those in need myself. I just never asked for anything until now. An office job would be amazing, as I don’t mind working—I would prefer to find something where I make my own money. However, at this current state we are in, I would greatly appreciate help fast, as things are past due. Your support will help us cover food, bills (car insurance, cellphone, rent, utilities, car payment), and gas for my car. This will allow me to breathe and focus on finding the stable work I desire, so I can provide for my child and myself all on my own.

I truly appreciate you for reading my story and for any support you can offer to us. God Bless you and your beautiful heart and soul.

With love.
