UNPAID MATERNITY LEAVE NEED HELP W RENT

Donation protected
I struggled to submit and wanted to tell my story and vent my truth and circumstances. Im just So sad: it’s so hard to tell my story and ask for help because saying it and acknowledging it makes it real. This nightmare is never ending. I’m a veteran with 6 children. I’m a nurse and have given blood sweat and tears to always help others first. I’ve never been one to ask, call it foolish pride or just stubborn and prideful to accept the challenges we’re going thru. I had our 6th child last month. I was placed on early medical leave, what a coincidence that it was days before I would qualify for paid maturnity leave. So my family has been without my source of income for months. I ran out of saving a week before my son came 3 weeks early. I try to go to work for nursing staffing companies. They don’t want me because I’m not vaccinated. Last night I tried to pick up a shift and was cancelled. It was the straw that broke my back ! I’ve actually been escorted off of a long term care unit for not being vaccinated. I’ve been fortunate to have an approval at my job but I don’t go back until Jan. We received a notice to quit… basically pay us or leave from the landlord. So overwhelmed. We don’t qualify for any assistance. I’ve looked and trust me , there’s nothing available There limited programs and no end in sight. In all of this pain and suffering all I could do was what I normallly do put my head down and help others. So I went in my pantry and food storage and make up 14 boxes for families to have food and diapers and . 14 families that didn’t have any help. I wish we had financially prepared for all of this. We always stored food and toiletries and such. I don’t need food, or diapers just literally help with the rent. They say save up for 3-6 months in case of an emergency. We had about 3 months... and now I have a 5000 dollar past due rent .It made my heart feel better to help those families today. And took away the stress and pain of the impending hardships we have of our own. I don’t even know what to do… my children won’t have a home for Christmas… let alone one set up with a tree. I’m just so defeated. But the only thing that keeps me from giving up and ending my life is my babies and my husband who is home taking care of all of us. It’s just to much . I would set up a go fund me but people are more interested in helping a teen turn her cat into a movie star than helping a family in need. I’ve done nothing but help others .. since I was 17 and joined the military. It’s just hard to see the state of our nation and that this is what I fought so hard for. I’m angry, scared and giving up . Please pray for The Jones Family and any financial aide and Arizona Resources for veterans would be amazing!!! I’m just so overwhelmed and lost.
