My daughter and I are facing a difficult time and urgently need help to keep our home. After losing our previous home to a house fire, we moved to North Carolina to start over. I’ve been working with DoorDash to make ends meet, but it hasn’t been enough to cover our rent and basic bills. Recently, I thought I’d found a new job, but on payday I discovered it was a scam and didn’t receive any pay. Now, we’re at risk of eviction and struggling to stay afloat.

Despite these setbacks, I’m searching for work every day, and my daughter will be starting a part-time job next week. We’re doing everything we can to get back on our feet, but the financial strain has made it impossible to keep up with rent, utilities, and other essentials. I’ve had to pay for our cell phone and recently had our electricity shut off, which I managed to restore, but it’s been a constant struggle.

Asking for help is not easy, and I feel embarrassed to be in this position. But I want to do everything I can to keep a roof over our heads and provide stability for my daughter while we work toward a better future. Any support will go directly toward rent, utilities, and basic living expenses, helping us stay in our home and continue our efforts to find stable employment.
