This has been a very tough couple of years for myself and my 7 year old daughter. We have relocated out of state, moved several times, and I've been in between jobs as well as times when I couldn't find full time work. After losing my husband and my best friend 6 years ago from an anoxic brain injury sustained from a car accident, we have struggled to stay afloat ever since. (There was no life insurance money as it was in the process of being set up at the time of the accident.) This past December right before Christmas I was laid off from my job. I was living paycheck to paycheck as it was. I had been able to scrape by with food pantry's and by selling my stuff online. However, I was unable to come up with my rent for January. Last week I was served with eviction papers and told that I have about a week and a half to pay it before we have to go to court. I have no savings, no credit cards, and no family. I have spent the past 5 days on the phone with charity organizations, all kinds of helplines , numerous resources and have gotten absolutley no where. I had a job interview that went really well last week but if I become homeless I dont know how Ill be able to maintain a job (that is if Im hired). If I can just pay this past due rent I think I can climb my way out of this. But at this point without any help I live in constant fear and anxiety that I will not be able to provide a safe and stress free living situation for my daughter, who is the sweetest and smartest little girl in my eyes and deserves a roof over her head at the very least . Before my husband died I made a promise to him that I would ALWAYS take the best care of our daughter and I feel like a failure. I am not one to ask for help but I've realized that I cannot do this alone anymore. I pride myself in being self sufficient, however, I'm drowning and I'm losing hope. If anyone can find it in their hearts to help me, I would be eternally grateful. Please know that I appreciate any and all donations that have been given to myself and my daughter more than words could say.Thank you and God bless you all!
