secure housing for amanda and juliet

hi!

my name is amanda, and I have a ten-year-old named juliet. me and my daughter moved in with my parents after I left an abusive relationship to help take care of my mother.

my mom died two years ago on october 8th, 2021. she died at home, and we watched her die. she was our world.

instead of helping me, my sisters, and his grandchildren navigate the grief, my dad has thrown us away to be with his new gf, who has hated my mom since high school and hates my siblings and me for being born. she’s very rational, as you can see.

once again, i am a victim of abuse, financial and emotional, and this time it is at the hands of my father. the only parent i have left.

the past two years have been hell. my dad has made this woman and her son his new family. he was with her on the first anniversary of my mom’s death and got engaged a few days later.

the plan after my mom’s death was to move out with my dad because I didn’t want him to be alone. those plans changed after he exposed himself as a selfish asshole who lets his new gf talk to his kids crazy.

this past month he has been in new york with the beast and has refused to answer any texts or calls from his daughters. we thought that something horrible had happened to him, but he was ignoring us.

I have secured a place to live but was told today that my application cannot be processed because my father hasn’t paid the rent, and I don’t believe he will.

I work full-time, and I work hard. I have raised my daughter as a single mother since she was born. it’s hard as hell, but it is beyond worth it because she is my world, and she has always deserved the very best.

I am heartbroken for my daughter. her grandfather had been her father figure, and he’s thrown his relationship with her away. he has put us at significant risk of losing our home. my daughter has been through so much already.

i need help. i’m scared and stressed and fed up and no longer want this man I once called my father in my life anymore. it hurts so much that it has come to this, but he has shown my sisters and me that the only person that matters is himself.

I know he won’t pay the rent, and I can’t afford it. i’m a single mom trying so hard on my own, and I want a place of peace for me and my daughter to live and call our own. I am grieving next to the room my mother died in. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

RENT - $3,027.80

SECURITY DEPOSIT -$1,700.00

FIRST MONTHS RENT - $1,700.00

whatever left over will be spent on furniture as me and my daughter are starting from nothing 

if you could please donate and/or share, I would be forever grateful. i’m terrified, but i’m not going to give up.

my mother had two strokes. the second nearly killed her. she was left with brain damage and was paralyzed on the right side of her body. she died at 56. stress is why she had those strokes, and stress killed her.

i’m 33, and my stress is through the roof. I need my daughter, and she needs me, and I know my mom wouldn’t want me to die young like she did.

thank you so much for reading. I hope you consider donating.
