Fast forwarding... 5 years later Prince now 14. And raising a teenage boy, is no walk in the park!!

Hello, friends & family, I do hope everyone is well, and staying safe from this Nasty Covid Virus/ Flu ECT... I would like to thank all those that have helped with my previous gofundme. The donations has really helped my Son and myself, and I really thank everyone from the bottom of my heart.

I truly do not wish to go into no long violin stories... I’ve been working as much as I can, and selling whatever I can on Ebay (urainah9967) my user name, please see if you can use boy items and other gifts for Mother's, Father's Valentine's Birthdays ect. my Son and I design many decorative pen cans very nice cans) and Craigslist to make ends meet.

We have installation problems underneath the house, ( keeping the house warm is costing me an arm and a leg), and plumbing problems underneath the house. (Something is wrong with the sewer line). A plumbing service said it could cost 8,000 to fix that.. and HVAC service quoted me 10,000 to fix installation underneath the house. We need to get a termite inspection (really afraid to get that). My home is just as old as me (and that's pretty old :-)). Built 1972. Then these cars: one is either broken in the yard, bearly running, (keep your fingers crossed as I'm riding), on sitting in a repair shop. MAJOR serious car repairs are needed, so most all my money goes to living expenses, and to keep the cars going. I Work as much as I can, and spending money on what's absolutely necessary. Any extra time or money that I may squeeze out go towards helping my son.

The animal lover that I am, I do have 3 ferocious guard dogs, that has some needs too..(normal needs, flea/tick prevention, shots etc) my heart will not let me put them in a shelter.

I’m a single Mom, and I work as much as possible. But I do have to take the time off for Doctor, and counseling sessions for my Son. He's a Special teenager, who's determination is stronger than a bull, with a head harder than a rock. Just wish he'd use that kind of determination in his school work and staying out of trouble...I'm doing all that I know and can do to help him not go down the wrong path. He's been in boxing sessions, kickboxing coaching classes ( it took six family members to pay for those sessions for 6 months), and we just recently joined Fitness World Wide gym here locally...( Jan 2025) just trying keep him busy and occupied, and being the health nut fitness personal trainer mom that I am, trying to keep him healthy and off the sugar and off the video games as much as I can. I'm trying hard to save him from the streets and be the best example as I can so he won't be a bum in life..

I would like to send him to the Kumon school here locally, ( they assist with children to catch up with their grades) but that cost $160 per month per subject.

I've been calling boys homes for troubled challenging teens, and the average cost is 4000 monthly or more.

I’ve written my favorite Millionaire/Billionaire celebrities seeing if they would find it in their hearts to spare a grand or two, when I had mounds and mounds of credit card debt maybe I'll write again to see what happens.... whatever they or anyone can do I’d be SO grateful!

I love my one and only son...most everyone on my Facebook knows that..he's my heart.

I love my son to be able to attend the Camden Military School for boys which is only 45 minutes away from my home and I can see him on the weekends once he's enrolled but this school is 40 Grand a year, and I can't certainly afford that especially with home repairs car repairs and keeping food on the table... I would love if he could go here for at least a year or two. For his 9th and 10th year.

Thanks for reading... it's better to try to find a Boot camp type setting, than for him to go to juvenile detention. I'm doing everything in my powers to keep him on the straight and narrow...

I'm asking for 10,000, but I didn't really want to ask for what's needed...but here's the breakdown:

Kumon school $160 per month per subject. He needs at least 2 subjects English/Math

Home Installation underneath house: 10,000

Fix sewer line underneath house: 8,000

Car repairs: No telling how much- need new ones....

Town n Country Chrysler 2012 it has 195,000 miles needs repairs

Chevrolet Venture 2004. (Supposed to be my work vehicle) 200,204 miles needs new heater coil: $800 cost/and repair

Electrical work so passenger sliding door will work. Cost: Unknown (I'll get estimate from the right mechanic soon) and 2004 Van may need a new motor or transmission. That's at least $2000 min.

So we need WAY more then 10,000

We really just need newer vehicles but didn't want to go there.

Camden Military School 40,000 per year.

It's only me and my Son, no other family members live nearby. They are all a phone call away, but that has not been effective. We need a drill sergeant to live in this house. That's the only way we'll see change.

My Mom tells me all you do for your Son, she asks me, is it worth it, and I say he's my only Son and child, and I'll do whatever I need to, to keep him straight. God gave me this one special child because he knows I'm patient and loving....

Thanks for donating what ever you can and sharing.
