Hello everyone, my name is Janelle aka (Georgia Gigi)

I have prayed and prayed about this and as much as I am embarrassed to ask for help, I have to set aside my pride for my family.

Life has been absolutely brutal these last few months for me and my family. (As I am sure many are struggling) There have been many situations that have led us to this point.

When I was diagnosed with Lupus almost 4 years ago, I had an admission in the hospital, where I also lost my job because of my health. From there, I applied for disability, and I finally was accepted. As I am sure most of you could imagine, disability does not pay much. At that time until 4 months ago, I handled all the bills without any problem.

Now, my daughter and her children live with me as well, so my daughter contributes as an equal partner in the home. We had a person up and leave our home to go somewhere else and didn’t pay his portion of the bills, which in turn has left me and my daughter severely struggling in a horrible hardship. She works so hard and also is involved in multiple classes which takes away from additional hours to be worked.

Her car broke down within weeks of purchasing it earlier this year. It was basically a complete lemon. We fixed it and three days later, it was something else. It has not been fixed due to the additional problems it incurred during the few months of just sitting.

We didn’t stress too much as I have a car and we just share it. As of yesterday, my car broke down, leaving us stranded with no way to get her to work and the grands to school. (We have to take them, as we are on a waiver to be at a different school).

On top of all that, I had rescued a momma kitty and her 5 babies. (Me thinking I have done something good ended up costing me more than I ever dreamed of.) It honestly never dawned on me to check with my landlord. She had come by one day and I asked her if she would like one. That’s when I ended up with a pretty hefty unexpected fine for breaking my lease. I will never rescue anything again!

I am at my breaking point trying to do all I can earning extra money to get these ungodly, unexpected expenses paid by the deadline. I am not going to make that deadline, nor do I have the means to get my car fixed so we don’t get more behind. I am saying all this to say, I’m looking at losing my home. I’m beyond scared not knowing what is going to happen.

I realize it is not anyone’s responsibility to make sure I can get all of this taken care of, but I am reaching out today in hopes you can find it in your heart to please help us. I am shaking and crying as I am putting this together. I’m scared of the backlash. I’m embarrassed to be my age and start losing everything I worked so hard for. I was forced out of my home, and that is what led us here to a higher rent payment, along with extra bills. I’ve canceled many things I never imagined I would have to let go of, just to survive. (Full coverage insurance to liability, canceling my life insurance policy, just to name a few.) I’m absolutely drowning.

And last but not least, my daughter is having to have a much-needed surgery and it is going to have her out of work with no pay for a short period of time.

When I say I am scared, it is with every ounce of my being! I never dreamed at my age I would be in this position. I’m the one who has always helped others. This side of the fence sucks!

So, with all this said, I am pleading and begging for friends and strangers near and far to please help us!

I also have a Cash App or Venmo in the event you do not want to contribute through here.

I am beyond desperate and not looking for rude or hurtful comments. I have already put myself through all of that.

I would like to thank each and everyone who finds it in their heart to help us and donate so we don’t lose everything we have left. And help get my car back on the road. It will help with bills and groceries during the time my daughter is out of work for surgery.

Thank you from my home to yours!
