Help Marita Balance Life and Family Needs

Loving community, I need your assistance. After talking to friends and family, I am making the hard decision to ask for help.

Over the years, I have made some very drastic and very positive life-changing decisions in order to live a happy and healthy life while also being there for my community and family. After the passing of my mom and grandmother, my responsibilities increased significantly, and I found myself trying to balance my own life and finances while also being thrown into dealing with lawyers and trying to wrap up my loved ones' lives while unexpected bills keep coming in. If you were there when this was all happening, then you already know the intense struggle that came with that and the struggle that is still going on now, and I don't see an end in sight. My mental and physical health have been tested in ways I did not think I could handle.

Life has kept going on, and I am also trying my best to be there for my father (financially and otherwise) while he goes through the painful aftermath of prostate cancer treatment. The side effects have been challenging, to say the least.

Currently, I am in the process of getting a used car so that I can take care of all of the above and more. Unfortunately, I will also be losing a tenant, which will be a huge financial blow.

Between dealing with my mom and grandmother's estates, the surprise bills that keep coming in from that, my father's health, trying to finalize a car and new roommate, and the bills that I already have, I am drowning and am asking for assistance so that I can get through at least a month or two. I would not be doing this if it wasn't urgent. If you feel so moved, please make a donation. Any amount towards the $2,500 is helpful and greatly appreciated. This goal amount will go towards the car, bills and gas to go see my father. I want to be the best I can be for my loved ones, my community, and myself.

Thank you so much!

Love always,

Marita
