Hi! I'm Marissa, and I started this to help my family, although I'm still a teen. We live in a small town in Texas with barely any money. Eight people live in our house, four kids and four adults. Two of the adults work, but one has seizures. One of them is trying really hard to get a job, but hasn't had any luck yet. We live off food stamps and social security. Only my brother is old enough to get a job, but we're both in band and early college. Our house is sadly falling apart. We've lived here for seven years, but the house is much older than that. We have no spare money to try and fix everything. The floor is falling in, the bathroom is falling apart, and my brothers room is falling apart. We're in desperate need. My mom was going to start this but she felt ashamed of herself. Ashamed she had to do this. Ashamed that she can't just work for it. We've tried everything thing, except asking for help. Please. Please help us. My mother is 54 working even though she's in and out of the hospital or doctors. We can't do this alone. Thank you so much for your time.
