Light Up Hannah's Home for Her Teens
Donation protected
Hey y’all, my name is Hannah Leigh Arnder & I did not want to do this by any means. I mean to let my pride go at the moment and be real & not worry about what all the negative people may say or think at all. But when you need help and you're struggling and have nowhere to really turn to, a friend of mine suggested I do this, so I’m gonna give it a try for my kids, not for me but for my children. I am a single mama of 4 children, 2 girls, 2 boys & they are all in their teens as you can see. Hmmmm…. Where do I start? It started last May 21st, 2024 (what’s sad is I can ask any of my children when it all went downhill & they know that date). Kids… they remember everything! But my husband, aka separated, had been in & out of court several times; it fits on both hands within a year so far.
Continuance here and there & of course no child support on his child I’m raising. His gets SSI & yet he’s a big-time known mechanic here where we live, but the judge said I can’t prove it, so that’s how it goes. We were behind due to his meth addiction and habits. He never wanted me or the children to have anything new or nice; it didn’t matter, nothing. I started working and things got worse. He hated me, the physical abuse, the gaslighting, the emotional abuse in front of my children could be so unbearable at times. Now, this past Sunday, as things were picking up financially, I lost my job and found out my mail I have not got like I was supposed to & my power bill is $646.43 when I only have $100 to my name that is to feed my kids, gas, necessities, etc. It’s due this coming Thursday, May 1st, & I know there’s no way I can come up with that on my own. I do have a nearby job interview @ 10 am in the morning I’m so excited about, but even then, if I get the job, it’ll be a couple of weeks before I get a paycheck. Please help my family stay in a home with power and not to mention our rent is due. I’m trying not to feel so ashamed for doing this, but sometimes you have to ask for help & this is one of those times. Thank you all & God bless to all of you!
