Help Keep a Little Family Afloat

Hello, as many of you know I’m a single mother who is primarily responsible for the care and well-being of my daughter. In December, upon accepting a great new job offer, my former employer screwed me around and even kept my unused PTO. I was without substantial income for about 3 weeks, other than door dashing. Naturally, I fell behind on bills. My daughter’s daycare is on a payment plan paying double payments until it’s caught up so that she isn’t disenrolled. My rent has fallen behind and I’ve made an agreement with my landlord to basically make an entire rent payment every two weeks for a couple months to cover past rent, current rent and late payments. If I fail to pay the amount on those days, my landlord will put forward a 7 day eviction notice. I’m sure many of you have been in this position, getting behind and feeling like you’ll never get caught up. I was able to get a one time payment for food stamps, but I make too much money at this new job to qualify for additional assistance, and they don’t consider how past due everything is. I just want to be caught up, I just want to not have every single thing past due or at risk of being shut off/reported to credit/evicted/unenrolled/etc. Literally every dollar in my life matters right now. I work so hard to give my daughter the life she deserves, and I know it’ll all be worth it when I’m caught up and making things work at this wonderful new job. It sounds dramatic, but at this point literally any contributions will help keep me and my daughter afloat and help prevent my life from falling apart.
