Open your hearts…
I obtained full custody of my niece, currently, age 7, and nephew, age 6, after their mother, my baby sister, was savagely murdered a year and a half ago by her babies father. She was only 30 and it completely destroyed us. Not even a year after our mother had passed from a terminal illness, she was only 60 and so full of life! The heartache is unbearable. I had to move out of my studio apartment and purchase a home to raise the babies in. My dad, who is a disabled Veteran, is going to stay with me to help me out with the kids so I can still work and maintain. It is just him and I and there’s only so much he can do, as he doesn’t work and just collects minimal benefits. I am desperately trying to do the right thing for them but times are so hard! I am struggling!!
I am just trying to provide the best life I can for them, as I went from a single guy to a single dad, basically overnight. I am so behind on my bills and am having a hard time maintaining right now as I am currently trying to renovate my home on top of taking care of them. The place I bought came with a lot of work. Friends, family, and I attempted to do the work ourselves but reached the point where that became extremely overwhelming and now I’m in over my head. Between COVID, babysitting, food costs, clothing, and whatever else, on top of the other things they need as well as trying to set us up for the future, I have lost my way and I don’t have any other outlet to turn to, so here I am.
We are currently staying with a friend while we wait for the renovation to be complete but help has been so hard to find and I’m trying to get as much of the work done as I can, myself, while working and going through the regular day to day. The place I’m currently staying at has many issues including a severe plumbing issue that the landlord doesn’t care to fix. On top of that, the landlord is evicting everyone here. My kids and I are deemed homeless right now, being that I can’t live in my place yet and we don’t have anywhere else to go. I just need help getting the place done and getting caught up so we can get back to life. We are sooo close! So please, anything helps!
Pride aside, I don’t know what else to do at this point. Everything donated will ensure the babies have more of a solid future moving forward and hopefully get us back to life. I just want to make my sister proud. Please help!
