Help Save a Home for a Devoted Mother

My Sister Nicole Stanley, could use all the help she can get. She has never been the one who asked for help always the one who has been able to do it on her own. She is the one who will give anyone the shirt off her back or be the who is there when others are not. She is the one who shows up for everyone and never ask for anything in return. When our mom got sick she worked took care of her kids and also took care of our mom. She lost a lot when she gave her time to care for our mother while she was in and out of the hospital. Tonight reading her story on Facebook truly broke my heart and I decided to try and get her some help. Her house she has been in for 7.5 years she is facing of loosing on July 15th due to an eviction, which is also her twin’s birthday. She starts her new job on Monday but is just needing a little help till she can get things going. One of her twins has faced many many medical complications and now is looking at another surgery. I will share her Facebook post below. Please help if you can if not a share goes along way. I hope we can rally around her as she would do the same for anyone else in need like her.

I have sat silent for months and acted like life’s been great, even years. But recently I realized that I’m not alone. For almost 8 months I have battled severe depression. After pouring in cups half full or empty my entire life and being the back bone and strong one to help others I finally broke. Silently grieving my Moms loss from October of 2023 I never fully grieved because I was busy working, helping my step Dad through and fighting to get him better, working, caring for boys, sold house boat and just kept on.

This past October I was terminated from my Employer after returning back from leave of being sick and in hospital. Fighting for what I deserved I got “Unemployment “ for a short time for wrongful termination. But with trial and error, looking for a job everywhere I found nothing but small end jobs to barely get me through. Because of my depression I have pushed several people close to me away. My relationship ended, my daughter and my step father I have slowly pushed them away, friends I used to talk to all the time I have become distant from.

I am now at fight or flight and loosing my home that we have rented and called “Home” for over 7.5 years.

Most people turn to “Drugs and Alcohol” to cope. I turned to silence. I don’t want anyone to shame me, I don’t want anyone to judge me or throw hatred. I am simply saying this because I want others too know your not alone. I dont want anyone else to go through what I have and wait till last minute for help as I did. I can only pray and hope for the best outcome as I regret not pulling myself together sooner. But God gave me an amazing job that I start Monday and Grayson will be having surgery next month on his back. I just wish sometimes life didn’t give us things we think we can handle and fight alone in silence, when in reality we can’t. Get help, talk to those who reach out and more importantly don’t dwell on things you can’t change. Be the change. I feel like such a failure of a Mother. Just Pray for us!!
