Support a family in crisis: Help a Single Mom Save Her Home!
Donation protected
This is ABSOLUTELY the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life! If you know me personally, then you know I am NEVER the type to ever ask for help. I’ve always been a warrior and found my way through every hardship life has thrown my way. I am a hard worker; I keep my head down, stay focused, and keep my mind positive, and in doing so, God has always seen me through!
However, this time in my life is unlike any other. In December of 2023, my whole life got flipped upside down (which is also why no one has seen me out in public). I sank into the deepest depression I have experienced up until this point in my life, and at one point, strongly considered giving up altogether. But that was not an option for me! I’m a single mother of 4 beautiful children, 3 daughters aged 14, 9, and 7, and one son who is 5, and my children are everything to me and they deserve a happy life with a healthy mom.
My home is now in the beginning phases of foreclosure if I can’t bring the balance current. I do have a full-time job which will allow me to keep up the payments moving forward, but I have no means whatsoever to make up for the past that I have fallen behind. If you know me, then you know I am never one to ask for handouts. I have always worked hard (sometimes beyond the point of exhaustion, as a full-time single parent, work, doctors' appointments, church, school, homework, etc.) for everything I have, and this would be no different if I had more time, but unfortunately, that is not the case. So when I cried to God last night and asked Him to show me the way to keep my home for my kids. In my dream He told me to call upon my angels and simply share my story and ask for the help I need. So here I am putting myself out there and asking for help.
If you’re able to help me and my babies by donating ANY amount towards helping me keep my home, there are a few things I can offer you. 1. Within the next year, if needed, I will pay back your donations one by one. 2. I would be honored to do a Reiki session for you on my days off to help anyone else that is also struggling at this time as a trade. And 3. Myself and my children will pray for your continued blessing every night when we talk to God. I know that this is a lot to ask, and having to humble myself, surrender my ego, put my personal business out there, and admit that I cannot do this alone has taken all the strength I worked so hard to rebuild. Please understand, I don’t do drugs or party; I’m not irresponsible with money. I’ve done the best I could with the conditions I was living under while rebuilding my life to be a healthier me for my children, all while trying to put on a brave face to make sure my kids weren’t further affected and make sure their basic needs were met. I’m grateful to have hit rock bottom because the only way to go now is up! Thank you for your love, support, help, kindness, energy, and shares… you will NEVER understand how much this means to us!! God bless you, now, forever, and always!
