Hi everyone,

My name is Ashley, and this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. I’m a single mom of three,(two live with me full time) and things were going so well for my kids and I until the day I got seriously injured....now I'm more stressed out than ever I'm struggling to keep a roof over our heads, not to mention the bills I can't afford and soon is Xmas.

On September 27th the day after leaving a job so I could start a better paying one, I had an accident that fractured my sinus wall, orbital wall, orbital floor, and cheekbone on the right side of my face. Two days later, I was supposed to start my new job. Instead, I was in the hospital injured and unable to work.

On October 29th I had major facial fracture repair surgery. I’ve been out of work with no income for months. I’ve been on a liquid diet, barely able to eat until recently, and I’m still not allowed to bend, lift, reach, or do anything that raises my blood pressure. I haven’t been able to cook, clean, do laundry, just do normal every day things is a challenge now. I have to wait for someone to help me with most things it really sucks.

Why I’m Asking for Help

Right now, I am facing the most heartbreaking and stressful moment of my life:

So that my babies can keep a roof over there head and not lose their home right before Xmas.

My rent is due and if I can’t pay it, my kids and I will lose our home.

My bank account is negative and my car insurance is about to take money I don't have out of my account and make me even more negative.

My phone bill is due and I need my phone for medical updates and eventually for work.

We’re down to our last roll of toilet paper and can’t afford basic necessities.

I have reached out to every rental assistance program, organization, and resource I could find. Everyone either has no funds left or applications are closed.

I am truly out of options and out of time.

What Your Help Would Mean

All I need is help for the next couple of weeks until I can return to work and receive my first paycheck. Just enough to keep a roof over our heads, keep basic bills from shutting off, and keep my kids safe and stable.

I have tried so hard to stay strong for my children, to make things feel normal so they don’t carry the weight of adult worries… but they see me stressed, they know how hard things are. And it breaks my heart.

I hate asking for help. I hate needing help. But this injury has pushed me into a place I never imagined myself being again, but unfortunately here I am again only this time I had no control over this injury.

If you can donate anything at all even a few dollars it would mean the world to us.

And if you can’t donate, please share this with someone who might be able to. Every share matters. Every prayer helps. Every bit of kindness makes a difference.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for caring. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping us get through these next few weeks.

God bless you.

Ashley
