Homeless family hoping for a Xmas miracle
Donation protected
Earlier today my youngest son asked me if Christmas was cancelled this year. He doesn't believe that Santa can find him in a hotel or in our car. What little bit of pride I had immediately disappeared and I realized I had no choice but to reach out and beg for help.
3 weeks ago my family of 6 lost our home after being there for 10 years. Our landlord chose money and greed instead of loyalty and having a heart. I am now finding myself in unfamiliar territory. Due to the sudden and shocking eviction we were forced to leave behind the majority of our belongings. My children lost their home, their school, their toys and most of the things that made them feel safe and secure. I can not imagine them losing Christmas as well. I will do everything in my power to get this back for them somehow.
Currently I have spent almost every dollar I have to pay for a local hotel until we can find a more stable place. I have spent my entire savings on moving costs, gas, necessities etc. I have now hit rock bottom and have no choice but to beg for help. I am not one to ask for charity. I am willing to pay people back in labor, errands or anything else over time. I have a decent job that I work very hard at and will eventually be enough to pay the rent again. What I am asking for is assistance to help put together enough of a deposit and moving costs as well as more time in our hotel so that my children are not forced to keep moving from couch to couch.
Currently I have 3 rescue dogs also with us. They are our family and I can not imagine a world without them in it. Finding a new home has been more difficult because of this but I am willing to drive as far as I need to in order to keep us all together. My vehicle is old and has a lot of mileage but it is all we have. I am hoping to raise enough to help keep gas in it to continue our search for our forever home.
I appreciate each and every one of you and even if you can't help us sending some positive thoughts and love our way is appreciated as well. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart. I promise to pay it forward as soon as we are back on our feet.
