Samantha and her kids get to their new start with family

I'm Samantha and my children are Ian and Oriah. We have been through a really bad year and am desperate for help. After finding out my ex fiancé, that I knew for 14 years, was guilty of being a pedophile, our lives were flipped. I endured 4 years of mental, emotional, and physical abuse because I feared the worst would happen to me because of the threats he already made to me if I tried leaving. He is now in prison and I attempted everything I could to keep my kids and i in our place, but after losing my job in July, wrongfully, and not being able to obtain a new one until very recently it's been a struggle. We were fighting about rent for October and ended up in court with the rental agency due to our place flooding and becoming uninhabitable. when the rental company discovered my ex was incarcerated and we weren't married, they gave me a 4-day notice in court to be out of the unit that we had resided in for the last almost 5 years. Due to my ex not putting me on the lease nor the rental agency as well, my children and I were ordered to have all our things packed up and cleared out of the unit by November 4th.

I'm still trying to get over to Missouri to my family. Thankfully my god parents showed up to help me because our movers never showed up and the plans that I had very little time to arrange fell apart. My kids and I had no other option than to leave our things sitting outside with hopes that my friends would be able to get them stored until i could get to them. Unfortunately, it looks like we ended up losing it all. I'm heartbroken to have to tell my kids. We will rebuild when we get to Missouri but we lost more than what vile be replaced ie ashes of my baby sister and grandmother, my sons preemie beside name page, my preschool class pictures of the class i taught, and so much at work of my kids and my own. A lot more had been lost. i just want to move forward from this heat ache.

I need at least $3,500 to be able to get the U-Haul and all that goes along with the trip to Missouri, where my sister lives and is willing to open her home to us. This is the worst outcome I could have envisioned for my kids given we wanted to stay where we were more than anything. If anyone is willing to help me out please do. We are temporarily staying with my god parents but we need to get to Missouri and back into school there. Please help.
