Urgent Help Needed: Single Mom of Two Special Needs Children
Donation protected
My name is Shannon, and I'm reaching out once again for help during an incredibly challenging time in my life. As a single mother of two neurodivergent daughters, I find myself in an increasingly desperate situation that requires immediate assistance.
Our Current Situation
- I have a 4-year-old daughter with autism who is nonverbal and requires five different therapies.
- My older daughter also needs therapies and is homeschooled.
- My younger daughter's father, once a primary source of financial support, has drastically reduced his assistance, leaving us with less than half of what we need to survive.
- I'm unable to work due to the constant care my children require, including driving 4 hours daily for therapies.
Why We Need Help
1. **Ongoing Legal Fees**: We still need funds for legal representation to secure fair child support.
2. **Monthly Expenses**: We're struggling to cover basic necessities, including food and utilities.
3. **Car Repairs**: Our vehicle, essential for therapy appointments, urgently needs repairs.
4. **License Renewal**: I'm at risk of losing my nursing license due to inability to pay renewal fees.
The Challenges We Face
- Managing two children with special needs without family support or backup.
- Mounting credit card debt as I try to keep us afloat.
- Risk of losing our home due to financial instability.
- Potential loss of my nursing career if I can't renew my license.
A Personal Note
As a registered nurse, I've dedicated my life to caring for others. It's not easy to ask for help again, but our situation has become even more dire. Despite our challenges, I continue to give back by educating others about health, mental health, and special needs parenting on social media.
How You Can Help
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives. Your support will help us:
1. Cover essential living expenses and therapies for my daughters
2. Pay for urgent car repairs to ensure we can attend vital appointments
3. Renew my nursing license and fingerprint clearance card
4. Contribute towards ongoing legal fees for child support negotiations
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated and will help provide stability for my daughters during this uncertain time. God bless you all.
