Single mother of 9 children being evicted

Don protégé
Hi my name is Autumn and I’m fund raising to keep a roof over my children and I head, or get a new one because as of now I can be thrown out any day. I’m a Survivor of Domestic violence, however I’m still fleeing. When I came to Nashville from Florida I was running away from my now ex husband. I was in a DV shelter which got me a place in Urban Housing Solutions. When Covid19 hit I fell hard I had my own business which went downhill from the pandemic. I fell behind on rent which if it wasn’t for a program I would’ve been thrown out then so I did get help before, but my struggle wasn’t over. I got a job and thought we would be ok and we were. I’m a person with a huge heart so ended up taking in 2 more children which made it 9 kids in my household and me. A girl I met in shelter had gotten her children taking away due to drug addiction and had no one to fight for the children in court so I did. I knew it would be a big responsibility but I already have 7 of my own so I felt like 2 more couldn’t hurt me. One was 3 weeks and the other was 2. Now I didn’t ask for any help with money or food, but I knew I needed child care, because I still had to work. So after being told from Dhs I couldn’t get child care because the children were not blood related it was devastating. I lost my job because I had to stay home to take care of the babies. So I fell behind again this time was different I found out that I couldn’t get help from the place who helped the first time because it was a one time thing which if I need help I just need help, I tried getting help from other places but doors were closed in my face. I signed up for public housing because I knew we needed help bad they placed me on a waiting list still haven’t heard anything. I have Severe PTSD from the trauma of being abused so I reached out to my case manager at Centerstone. I have been placed on a emergency section 8 list but I still haven’t heard from them either. I have tried everywhere in Nashville asking for help but there is none or they are not helping me why I don’t know. My car is in the shop and I can’t afford to get it out. Everything is caving in and no one wants to help me. I have reached out to the news for help I’m hoping they can interview me and get me some help. My wish is I could get a home big enough donated for me and my children so I can raise them without the stress of worrying about getting put out, because rent here in Nashville is high then I have 9 kids that need things. I’m a strong woman I’ve been doing this alone for some time now. I just really need help now. I have no regrets about taking in 2 more children I love them like my own they have been with me almost 2 years if I can help them out with having much but love I’m hoping someone can help me out so I can continue to do good things for my family and others. Thank you.
