I am a single mother residing in Hampton, Virginia. As of 05/05/25, I have also become a grandmother. I have not had to request funds from GoFundMe since my sister created a fundraiser to raise funds for the funeral of my daughter who was killed on Mother's Day of 2023. I have been battling deep depression ever since. Most say it gets easier over time, but for me, it hasn't. Oftentimes, I find it hard to even cope with daily living. I have even reached out to the community service board twice trying to get counseling. They just continuously ask if I am suicidal. I am not suicidal but often wish I weren't here to have to face some of life's problems. I have two living daughters that reside with me, along with my grandchild who is now nine days old. Usually, I am always the one quick to help others, but never do I have anyone to help me. I have reached out to United Way, The Crisis Hotline, Social Services, HRCAP, Help Inc, LinkedIn, Our Lady Of Mount Carmel, Liberty Live Baptist, Just Kids, and several other agencies to be told I don't qualify for help or they don't have the funds. Most places, I believe, disqualify me because I am employed. Working people sometimes go through things and struggle too. My department closed down for the month of December 2024 and most of January 2025, which set me back big time. Even when they did open the department again, they were still choosing based on the occupancy of the hotel what days they would or would not open. Therefore, my hours dropped drastically from 40 hours a week to 15/20 hours a week. My partial unemployment claims kept being denied, and social services kept denying me for benefits based on old paystubs. I have even asked my job for help with no success. I have been living off of extensions and payment plans, barely able to make rent due to low funds from cut hours. With all of the added stressors and hardships, I slipped into an even deeper depression. For days, I would not come out of my room, could not eat, or sleep. I ended up in the hospital several times because I've developed hypertension. They say stop stressing so much but it seems impossible. I have exhausted all resources. Usually, I am the one who doesn't have much but gives my all to others. Now I have no one to turn to. Initially, I was too ashamed to even create this fundraiser. Now my back is to the wall, and I am beyond desperate. I would rather people talk about me than be homeless. The sheriff posted a note on my door today stating they will be coming to evict us in a few days. On May 20, 2025, to be exact. I am now leaning on the kindness and hearts of strangers to help prevent my family from being homeless, and to get my gas on and other bills caught up. I am also seeking counseling if anyone can help or provide guaranteed mental health resources that may help. I will appreciate any help given. I thank you all for entertaining my campaign. I have attached photos of the rental ledger and eviction notice to show you all that this is real. Peace and blessings to everyone.
