Help Jennifer and Her Boys Stay Afloat

My name is Jennifer and I am a single mother of three, now two. My eldest has graduated and married and is doing well! I'm very happy that she is starting her life with her own family on the right foot. It's just me and my two boys at home now. I am the only income as I'm not receiving the ordered child support from their father.

I was injured at work in 2023 and I am still in recovery. I have been informed surgery will be needed, and I will miss even more work. All my time off is unpaid and the medical bills are my responsibility (WC closed out and now I'm dealing with the fallout). I used to work four jobs to make everything balance out, but have since lost two of those jobs while being treated and recovering from the medical procedures so far (all available hours were given to others as I had to miss several days for various appointments such as PT, testing, so far four medical procedures to try and solve the pain aspect of the injury) and my main employer has no hours because it's the beginning of the year and work is slow.

Right now I am severely behind in several bills, including rent. I am short $250 for rent, including $150 pass due from November, phone bill of $68, $215 for the biweekly car payment, and behind on loans I had to take out to pay for the majority of December bills and the utilities for January.

As we head into the beginning of February, I am very unsure about everything. *UPDATE* As of March Past due are current except the loans.

Car payment of $885 is due in two weeks. And preplanning for the recovery after surgery which is April 3rd.

While I wait for the tax season to start, we do need help. I have asked local churches and they have helped with grace last month with what they could, and it was a true blessing. I'm on a waiting list for other assistance programs but until then, I'm truly humbling myself and asking for help from anyone who can donate at least $20 to help us towards the goal.

My injury to my neck has changed the way we have to live. We are truly in survival mode. My boys, 12 and 14, are doing well in school and do help as much as possible with chores and understand our life has changed.

This next year should bring us back to water level, instead of treading just below the surface. Our dear friends and family have helped as much as possible during this hardship and we are truly grateful.

Please, if you cannot donate, understand we are grateful for the time you spent reading our story and know sharing will help us tremendously as well. We welcome prayers, good vibes sent our way, and have faith things will work out soon for our family. Thank you for your consideration and be blessed.
