I never thought I would be here, friends. But a series of events, starting with my son's lung spontaneously collapsing in December, my husband and I separating, I need a partial roof replacement, a car accident resulting in minor injuries but no vehicle, a sick doggo, and now rent is due.

For those that don't know, I've been working various jobs, weeding, cleaning houses, most evenings and weekends, on top of my full-time job, for months to try and get ahead of these bills. The medical bills alone are $20,000. I'm drowning and in danger of losing everything I've worked so hard to build, namely MY HOME that my grandparents built in 1961, passed down to my mom, and now I live here with my kids (my son is saving to buy it but it will be a couple years).

Please, help my family. I am so ashamed to even ask but I'm at the end of my rope. There's not enough side jobs in the world. I can't make rent, bills are overdue, I need help.

Thank you for even caring enough to read this far.
