After leaving an abusive realtionship, my kids and I moved from lewisburg to Sparta (where I grew up) with some family. I have two babies. Ava is 2 in August and Axton is 1 in august. When we moved to Sparta, I had good intentions to get a job and get on my feet. Nothing had progressed due to the fact that no-one in the household has a vehicle. It's difficult to get to town to even get my babies WIC because we love about 15 minutes from town. I moved in with my mom and her always drunk boyfriend. It's been nonstop chaos. Fighting all the time, him destroying my children's things, my things. He got to the point where he was starting too get abusive. Just last week I woke up at 6:30 am to a blood curling scream from my mom. He was beating on her again. She was helpless and I'm going to protect my family so I attacked him. Usually, i stay out of things like this because i didnt want to be on the street with my two babies. Because of this last fight, my kids and I have been homeless. We've been sleeping on a neighbors living room floor for a few days now. I've tried contacting women's and homeless shelters but no-one can take us due to no room. I've tried calling churches and they haven't offered to help. Every housing authority I could call, I've called and the waiting lists are insanely long. Up to two years. I've tried to get all the assistance I can and everything has fell through. I'm not on any drugs. I'm not a drinker and I don't even smoke cigarettes anymore because my babies need diapers more than i need cigarettes. I've tried to reach out to every friend I thought I had and every family member I could but no-one will take me plus 2 kids. At this point, I have no idea what to do. I'm just trying to pay and make it through this hard time. It's getting to the point where I'm having a hard time to find ways to just get formula and diapers. I'm not gonna go into a store and steal something because I'm not that kind of person. I cannot lose my children. They're all I have in this world and if I lose them, I'll lose every part of me. I will do whatever it takes to make sure my babies are fed. I love my kids so much and they're my world. They sleep beside me every night, I make all of their meals, I do what a single mother should do and I make sure my babies stay smiling and happy. I just need a little help. Whether it's a down payment on a car or a deposit on an apartment. I know it's a lot to ask and I've very sorry to but I am ruining or of options. If there's anyone who could possibly help me, god bless you and I hope you have 5x better karma for your big heart.
