Help homeless family

Donation protected
My family is seeking your help so we can move out of a hotel and into an apartment.

As some of you may know, my family has been struggling, somewhat publicly, just to afford the high cost of living in a hotel. We spend all of our earnings, as well as panhandle, to afford the $285 per week motel cost. 

With all of our money spent on our living expenses, we are left with nothing to help save for first month rent and deposit on a new place.

We have gone to local agencies and churches seeking assistance, but have been told there are no funds currently available.

Many kind and generous people from all walks of life have stopped and helped us to pay for part or all of our weekly cost at the hotel.

While this help is essential and we would be lost without it, it is only helping us for a couple days before we are in need again.

My daughter is the light of my life and her wish is for us to have our own place.  I told her I would set this up with the hope that we could raise enough to get us out of the hotel and into a proper home, and help us fix a few things that make it hard for us to remain self sufficient, like owning our own car.

I recently met someone who interviewed me for a job and another who has refferred me for a full time position.

I have a friend who said they would help me to find an affordable car once I have enough to start looking for one. 

With the grace of God and a little boost from the community, we hope to never have to ask for help again. 

Thank you in advance and remember that any donation, however small it may seem to you, helps us more than you know.
