Help single mom get back on her feet.

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and I feel so embarrassed to even be here asking for help. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own, but right now, I’m drowning, and I don’t know how to get out of the hole I’m in.

In October, I was wrongfully terminated from a job I had for two years. That sudden loss of income set me back much further than I ever imagined. Though I’ve since started a new job, it came with a pay cut, and I’ve been struggling to keep up with rent, bills, and everyday essentials.

As a single mom, I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat and be there for my two boys. But it’s been an uphill battle. I’m behind on rent, at risk of losing my storage unit, and my car is on the verge of being shut off. On top of all this, it’s the holiday season, and I haven’t been able to buy any gifts for my boys.

Their father is battling severe mental illness, so they’re already navigating a lot emotionally, and they need me more than ever. While I’m working at least 35 hours a week, I can’t take on more hours without sacrificing time with them when they need me most.

I’m at a loss and out of options. Asking for help is not easy for me—it’s truly my last resort. But if you’re able to support us, in any way, it would mean the world. Every little bit helps as I work to get back on my feet and provide my boys with the stability and Christmas they deserve.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness you can offer.
