Losing my son to SIDS in March has been the most unimaginable pain I could ever experience. On top of that, we were in an accident at the end of the year, which kept me from working and made it even harder to get by. Grieving and being out on leave has left me feeling lost and overwhelmed, and it’s been the hardest time in my life. I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d have to ask for help, but right now, all of our bills are behind and I’m struggling to keep up.we got a kitten to help out our grief and he has been the most amazing addition but having a hard time being able to take care of everything after being out of work for almost a month. I’m back now but just don’t know how to get out of this hole.

My rent is a month overdue, our wifi was just turned off, and our electric and water bills are piling up. I feel like I’m drowning and I don’t know how to get out of it without help. I’m reaching out to my community because I know that sometimes it really does take a village to get through the toughest moments. Your support will help me catch up on rent, restore our wifi, and pay the overdue bills so my family can get back on our feet.

As embarrassed as I am to ask, any help or support would mean the world to us right now. Thank you for reading my story and for considering helping during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in our lives. My daughter is 9 going on 10 and needs a safe place to come and visit and after the year we’ve had last year I just don’t know how to get thru this mess without asking for help as much as we do need it.
