Hi, my name is Vanessa. I'm a single mother of 2 children, my 14-year-old daughter Jasmin and my 5-year-old son Jeremiah. I've never done this, asking the public for help in my life. I've worked since I was 14 years old. I'm currently 46 years old. My son was diagnosed with autism about 2 years ago. It's been super difficult finding a job due to no support in helping take care of Jeremiah while I work. Not only that, but I too have suffered terribly with my mental health and have been fighting for my SSID for the last year.

With all that said I was unable to save my apartment and now we are in a shelter until housing is available. Thank you to all who reads this and please help me share.
