Homeless prevention for Fluff and family

Good day friends, family and fellow community this has taken a hot minute make this decision. To find the courage and set aside my ego/pride to ask for a little help. Ask and ye shall receive right? Says the recovering people pleaser and hyper independent mama over here ❤️
So here we go. Brief background: I was let go from my corporate salaried position a couple years ago. My faith has kept me on a steady path that I’d be able to recuperate financially sooner than later. It’s taken longer than expected and I truly do see the light at the end of the tunnels. Fortunately enough I was able to use my unemployment benefits while searching for work which kept us barely a float. It’s pretty amazing the paths this universe has to offer when doors close leaving room for windows to open. I have been able to find some hours working the fairs when the seasons come around and also nannying intermittently. This is where it gets tricky. My lil Miss has Lupus and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease which is always a factor when it comes to employment and where we lay our heads to rest. Being in Beverly has allowed us access to public transportation, schooling, food pantries and all the other basics we need in life.
Unfortunately my land lord has recanted on our agreement to lease another year. Last year was difficult in the sense that I had to access community resources like Raft for rental assistance. Clearly he did not like to wait for the funds but he was paid and continues to be paid for rent . I’m currently waiting on the list for public housing and section 8 but that is going to be awhile. I was hoping to be able to take this next year to find employment that will allow me to save since I used all of my savings for living costs these past couple of years.
With that said my hope is to look towards my community and ask for help with moving costs. I have under 1000 saved that I was going to allocate for fixing my truck but as it turns out this is THE major priority. I can not see myself becoming homeless with a daughter who has a chronic disease and needs a sterile home to live. If you do not have it in your budget to share please take a moment to spread the word. ❤️ I hold gratitude in my being every day that we wake up healthier than the day before and I will continue to count my blessings with light and love in my heart.
Also side note: anything left over will be redistributed for trucks funds since she’s not street worthy and/or given right back to others that are in need as well. ❤️
Thank you for your time and kindness.
