Hi, my name is Misty, and asking for help like this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’ve always tried to handle everything on my own, but right now I’m facing a situation that has me scared in a way I’ve never felt before.

The truth is… I’m behind on both my mortgage and my car payments, and I’ve reached a point where I’m terrified of losing everything I’ve worked so hard for. My home is my stability. My car is how I get to work. Losing either one would turn my life upside down — losing both would leave me without a way to keep going.

I’m trying so hard, and I’m not giving up. I’ve been applying for better positions, and I’m expecting to start a higher-paying job within the next month, which will finally allow me to stay on top of my bills again. But right now, I just need help making it through this moment.

To get caught up and keep myself from becoming homeless, I need $3,500. This will cover:

My past-due mortgage

My past-due car payments

The fees that have built up while I’ve been struggling

I don’t want to lose my house. I don’t want to lose my car. I just need a lifeline to keep me afloat until that new job comes through.

If you’re able to help — whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page — it would mean more to me than you will ever know. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any kindness you can offer.
