<div>Friday 10-03-2025 at 4pm I was informed that my son was being permanently discharged from his childcare, effective immediately, due to a sudden influx of kids in need, and the facility operating on first in-firat out rules. Because of this, on Tuesday 10-07-2025, I lost my job.

</div>

<div>I have been financially tight ever since my husband's death 2 years ago, and have never been able to build a safety bubble, because of this, I will not be able to make rent or any bills in the second half of October, including the rent for November.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My son is nonverbal autistic, and I have been struggling to get a diagnosis for him since he was 18 months old, and I also have fibromyalgia, which adds a layer of difficulty onto our life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am determined to make it work, I'm applying for everything I can, but the reality of the situation is that even if I miraculously had a decent paying job and free childcare starting this very moment, I would not have enough for my rent ($1259) for November in time, not my car payment, phone bill, or car insurance.

</div>

</div>

<div>I hate asking for help, but some friends of mine encouraged me to start a GoFundMe, so here I am. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and if you can't help, any attention you can gather our situation would be a major help as well.

</div>

</div>

<div>Thank you in advance, regardless of whether or not you contribute.
