Mom & Daughter in Crisis

Donation protected
I've updated this go fund me to go from trying to save our home, to just trying to get help with moving costs and vehicle repairs. I don't have enough time to try to save our place. This move has wiped out my account and we're beyond stressed.: (

Story:
Last year my daughter and I filed for help for rent assistance for 2 months because work was slow and I fell behind. Long story short they approved us for 6 months and sent a letter stating the check would be sent to the landlord. The 6 months passed and the landlord reached out and said he never got paid. I had no idea! So now I am 6+ months behind on rent with all of the late fees because the rent assistance fund ran out of money after they approved a ton of people. They never sent the funds and the program closed down.

I have heart failure.... My days are good and bad. But it keeps me from changing jobs to just anything. I need something low key, but pays enough to replace what I'm already doing now. Work was and is slow off and on and we've been struggling to stay afloat. My daughter goes to school and works and helps with bills too. But we're too far under water at this point.

So we're moving in with family and putting our home and decades worth of belongings into a storage unit. Closing a chapter that should've never been finished this soon. :( We're terrified of what the future holds for us.

But we're doing what we have to do. Maya is less than a month away from turning 18 and getting her cna license and hopefully a better job. I'm so proud of her and yet feel like I've failed her as a mom. I just hate uprooting her and her life. But we'll get thru this. I know she's strong!

We're asking for anyone that CAN help to please consider it. Everything adds up and we have to pack up the house, miss work, and my vehicle needs some major repairs to keep us going and working. Purge Valve, Wheel Speed Sensors which have caused massive ABS Brake problems. So those need to be replaced now. And just recently, my back struts are squeaking.

I'm TRYING to look at this as a fresh start and a way for us to get back on track. It's so hard. My mental health is suffering. And I KNOW many people are struggling. This life isn't what most of us had hoped for. :( But these are the cards we've been dealt and there's no option to run away.

We would be ever grateful for any donation. ❤
