Fundraiser for the Elkins-Godwin family

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Liesel, and I am fundraising for my family. We are a family of five. My husband works but only receives enough right now for groceries, the kid's prescriptions and gas for the car. I am the primary breadwinner. Unfortunately, I was laid off at the end of May, but no one was hiring in my industry. After much prayer, I have started a new career as a life ins agent as I must work from home to care for my oldest, who has mental health issues, so my options are limited. I am making progress as I am now licensed, have gone through training, and am now beginning to talk to customers needing coverage. Since being laid off, dealing with the car breaking down, and a few other setbacks like medical emergencies, the last of my funds have been exhausted. Moreover, as I do not have any funds right now, I can only pursue older leads, which is a much more challenging avenue, as the results are slower to acquire. I am still pushing forward, as I know I will get there. I am far too stubborn to fail. But we need some breathing room in the meantime. As the bills are coming in due now, it has taken me a long time to get to this point. So I am reaching out for help (which is not normal for me) to ensure we keep the lights on and a roof over our heads. I am asking for one month's worth of bills (Rent, renters ins, car payment, car ins, Lights, Phone and Internet), as they are all due at the end of this month. The funds will also help pay for my oldest to go to the doctor, as he has severely twisted his leg, and I need him to be seen, but we are still waiting for the government's assistance to approve our application. I will keep pushing forward to make my new career take off. But with your help, I would be able to focus on that instead of worrying about how to keep everything on.
