Help with overdue and current Rent,Bills after loss of mom

Donation protected
As many of you know, I lost my dear mom,Maureen,this past December, the day after Christmas, her favorite holiday. We lived together in New York City,and for the last 10 years,I was her full time caregiver,after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's/ Dementia. I lost my job of 32 years,after my company filed for bankruptcy, and we were left without our jobs. While searching for work back then, mom,in her late seventies unexpectedly got diagnosed with the disease. While that was a very difficult time,it turned out to e a blessing. I was able to be there for her completely, and I am grateful for every moment we had together.I have not spoken of how circumstances have gotten, because mom before the illness was always so strong, and we just always dealt with our problems,please understand this is extremely embarrassing for me,and a million times almost didn't do it.Since I wasn't working, we lived off her social security, pension, and my savings,which all are finished now. back then which covered our rent and bills,and groceries, about $1,500 each month. Now that my sweet mom is gone,I have desperately been looking for work, these months,but so far nothing. I am not facing eviction at this very moment,,but i am 3 months behind on rent,and utilities, and along with heavy grieving of missing my mom every day,and never being in a situation like this before,is scary, and overwhelming, plus definitely taking a toll lately on my health body,and anxiety. As extremely hard,and embarassing this is for me to say, I do need help.I am setting a goal of $ 8,000 to help with past due amounts and help moving forward, to give me a little breathing room.,when I turn 62 I am 60 now, I will be eligible and able to apply for my Social security, and own pension.I so wish I could access it sooner, but unfortunately they said no,and I will also be losing money that is mine ,and worked so hard for from it for applying for it early when 62,but I have no choice.So until then I have been doing everything to try and stay afloat.I am incredibly grateful for my family,and friends who have supported me through this difficult tine.Your kindness, encouragement, and generosity have carried me through more then you know through the worst time of my life losing my mom.If you are able to help,whether through prayers, donations, or shares, I would be deeply thankful, and grateful from the bottom of my heart,and Rest in Peace mom's.With forever love Patricia.
