Struggling Mom needs help for her family

I never thought I’d have to write something like this.

I’m a single mom of three amazing girls ages 16, 15, and 18 months. I haven’t received one bit of financial help for any of them, ever. Every single bill, every meal, every emergency, every need, it’s all on me. It’s a job I enjoy, because there's nothing I love more than being their Mom, but I’m so far beyond exhausted and broken.

I’ve been doing DoorDash to make ends meet, but my car just died without warning. No cranking, no click, nothing! The engine won’t even try to turn over. I can’t even get it to a mechanic to find out what’s wrong. And without a car, I can’t work, which means I can’t support my family.

This isn’t the first time everything’s fallen apart. My ex totaled my last car, and I was able to scrape together enough to buy a used one in March. That’s the one that just quit, on July 4th.

In January 2024, I nearly lost my life giving birth to my youngest daughter. She spent 56 days in the NICU, and I was hospitalized for 10 days after her birth. It was touch and go for a bit for us both and it was terrifying. But things were about to get even worse.

A short 2 months after my sweet baby finally made it home, we were forced out of the place we had called home for 7 years. By this point, we had lost Papa, lost our home, and nearly lost both me and the baby. Since then, it’s been blow, after blow, after crushing blow.

To make it even harder, my baby’s father has been gone since February after he SHOOK my tiny little baby and walked away from all responsibility. I’ve had no support from him since. It’s just been me, doing everything I can to keep her safe and trying to give all three of my girls even a speck of stability.

I just started a new work from home job selling insurance, and I am trying, but it’ll be at least a month before I see any real income. Right now, I have no income, no transportation, no help, not much hope, and no idea how to keep us afloat.

I hate asking for help. This is not something I do lightly, or without massive guilt and shame. But I will do ANYTHING for my family. And right now, I’m completely overwhelmed and out of options and frankly I have nowhere else to turn.

If you can donate, thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

If not, please share this. Either way may God bless you!
