Help Lizzz and Her Children Overcome Hardship

Donation protected
Hello,

As many know, I'm a single mom of 4. I had to quit my job of almost 4 years to be able to take care of my youngest daughter. She has severe separation anxiety to the point daycare isn't able to keep her past 11:30, so I can't work. This was hard for me, being that I financially carry the weight all alone. I've been out of work for almost 3 months now. My daughter has very little to no progress. She also does not eat solids and is having trouble just eating solids. I'm working with her pediatrician to figure out how to aid her as she grows. This factor also affects my ability to work. If she does not eat at daycare, she is not going to be well. I've been trusting God, but also learning to set my pride aside and ask for help. I can't do this alone, and I have no family support. I myself was abandoned by my mother and didn't know my father. I was abused as a child by some aunts who I no longer stay in contact with. My faith base is my only base. I've sought refuge in my church, finding friends who act as family, but this weight is my burden to bear.

A month ago, my apartment flooded while I was at church, and the management here at my apartment have left me in a moldy apartment with no true concern of care. They ran 3 dehumidifiers (commercial machines) in my apartment from a Tuesday to Friday, spiking my electric bill insanely. I contacted the management, and they said they cannot compensate me for that. (The flooding was not my fault.) I have been paying my bills by trying my best to do Uber Eats, photo sessions for clients, or on my TikTok live, but it isn't enough or sufficient for my bills, let alone the essentials my 4 children need as basic needs. I know God is a sovereign God.

I am making this GoFundMe in efforts to relieve this financial strain as a single mom of 4, college student, and unemployed due to my baby's developmental issues. I was encouraged by some women on my social media to just ask. To not be prideful and understand there is always someone who may need and someone who can help.

Also, my eldest are going to be starting school, and my finances are not the best for their back-to-school shopping. They've mostly outgrown the clothing they have, and I am already just praying a miracle happens so I can give them what they need.

I ask you keep me in your prayers as I make many efforts to get my youngest daughter to the independence she needs. I have her enrolled in an early development program in any chance she may be on the spectrum, and if she's not, just giving her the support she needs during this time of her life.

Thank you guys so much, and I'm so embarrassed, but I care too much about my babies to be silent. I need to take care of them.

With all my love,
Lizzz
