My name is Binta Campbell. My children and I have been displaced from our home, the home that took me a very long time to get back. Unknown to a lot of people, I've been suffering from homelessness since 2022.
I know who I am in the community, so it's very hard to even put these words together. I'm not one who likes people in my business; however, my children and I are currently in a very bad situation, and I do not know what else to do to get us out. As of Saturday, February 8, we are located in a safe house. Currently, right now, I'm in a position to possibly lose employment because the safe house is nowhere near where my job, my children's school, and daycare are located. Again, this is not easy for me to express or divulge to anybody. I am a very private person; however, I'm at the end of my rope. I never imagined I would be 39 and experiencing what I've been dealing with. I need the support and the resources as I have come to find out that the safe house is not as safe as they claim. My children and I need help. If you know me, you know I've miscarried two children in the last two years. Both pregnancies were not viable without a heartbeat, and here I am now, 39 and expecting, and this baby has a heartbeat. I just want to be able to give this baby a chance. However, we need help. I need to move. I need to get transportation so I can keep my job, and I just simply need help. I pray you will find it in your heart to help me and my children. No one should have to go through what we're dealing with. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Again, if you could find it in your heart to help, it would be greatly appreciated so that my children and I can get back to permanent housing and not be in the system or the safe house longer than we have to. The conditions of the safe house are quite horrible, and I don't know how much longer I can take this. Thank you.
