I never imagined I would be here, writing something like this, but I truly don’t know where else to turn anymore.

My marriage ended, and I was left with nothing, no safety net, no support system, and nowhere else to go.

Right now, I’m on the verge of losing the roof over my head, and with me are my three dogs, who are my entire world. They’re the only reason I’m still standing some days.

Life has become unbearably hard. Most days, I feel like giving up, but I keep pushing because of them. I cannot face the thought of being homeless again, especially with three dogs and no car to even sleep in this time. The fear is constant, the stress is overwhelming, and I feel like I’m drowning.

I tried to prevent this. I created a GoFundMe before just to get my car running so I could immediately start doing DoorDash, Uber or anything and work as much as possible to survive. That was my plan to avoid exactly the situation I’m in now. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get the help I needed in time, and now I’m here, rent is due on the 15th, and I have zero funds.

I haven’t eaten or slept in days because I’m so scared of what the next 7 days are going to look like. I don’t know where we’ll go. I don’t know how I’ll protect my dogs. I don’t know how I’ll survive this without help.

I’m not asking for pity. I’m not asking for comfort.

I’m asking for a chance to survive.

A chance to keep a roof over our heads.

A chance to get my car running so I can work as much as I need to.

A chance to rebuild my life instead of losing the little I have left and losing myself.

If you can donate, even the smallest amount helps.

If you can’t donate, sharing this means more than you know.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story
