Help with staying together in our home as a family

Donation protected
Hi. My name is Sabrina Duran, I'm 19, and am trying to be the provider for my younger brother, 3 dogs, and myself. Our guardian, my mom, passed away extremely unexpectedly in her sleep on July 15th of this year.

She did everything for us. I'm 19, turned this year, but I might as well be 9. I was in the process of being more independent when she died. I never finished and I'm certainly not ready for adulthood. 

To put into perspective what kind of person my mom was.. a few days before my 8th birthday my bio mom died from a heart attack in front of my brother and I. My mom, who I called grandma at the time, immediately took me and my brother in, the same exact day she lost her daughter. She was very sick from a surgery that went wrong and still took us in with our grandpa.

A few years later, her husband, my grandpa, died in our home from a heart attack. She lost her most important people in a span of 4 years.

The thing is, she rarely showed her grief. She was strong for me and my brother. She didn't have the time to grieve the way she needed to and I know that now. That feeling is devastating and she still stayed for us.

She was very tired. I know it. But I wasn't ready. I expected another 20, at the least 10 more years with her. We had many plans that won't be completed together now that she's gone.


I'm doing my best but I wasn't prepared. I have a bit of income but I need to get a job. I'm hoping, with some help, I can stay in our home with my family. We need to be together. I refuse to let us be separated. 

I'm making a budget with the very bare minimum in order to live here. I'm gonna work hard to make money so I can provide for my brother and dogs. With some help, I'm really hoping everything turns out alright for us.

Thank you for reading. Anything, including prayers and well wishes, will help us.
