Hello everyone, I hope this reach out finds you well. I am doing a fundraiser event for the first time in my life, because I am faced with a situation upon which I couldn't do nothing but help.
I will keep the name of the person for whom I am trying to raise money, confidential, but for those who know her, will be able to tell who that is from the cover picture of her with her sweet son. She is one of the MA s I work with who recently had to spend her savings in order to help one of her kids ending up losing her home. I would like to ask from anyone to donate something for this family to give them a jump start to go back to the decent life they were having. Thank you so much !! You can read her story below:
"I wanted to start by saying that I have never in this way, asked for help before. I am a mother to 4 beautiful children who I love very deeply. My two girls are out on their own together and my oldest and youngest (minor) son live with me. My 72 year old mother also lives with us as well. My eldest son is 24 and really struggling mentally and physically right now and I have been trying very hard to be of help to him how he needs it the most. For the past 8 months, I was on a mission to save up money to put a down payment on the house that we currently still live in now. I had a few thousand dollars saved back and it was looking hopeful for me to purchase this home. However in the meantime, a great many things went wrong, from my oldest son losing his place to live and me helping him financially to keep it (which did not work) to my car breaking down to the cost of $800 to fix it, to both of my daughters losing their jobs at the same time, to me collectively trying to keep all of children fed and safe and help with their bills… to the rising cost of everything and interest rates on mortgages rising, I decided that I would not be able to realistically meet the money goal I was given to save for this home. So I chose to give my landlord half of what I had saved and the other 1/2 I tried to catch up on bills. I will be moving my essential stuff to someone else’s home on December 1st to start over and try again to have my own place at a later time. I need help very much to cover the cost of this move and have what we need for the next two months until I can flip my bills back around to being caught up. If anyone can help us out, I would be so so grateful. I work every day faithfully with the intention to take care of my family. They will forever be number one to me and I will never give up… just so much unexpected burden came my way and I got behind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and if you are able to help us, thank you so very much."
