<div><b>This is an ongoing fundraiser, so each month the goal will be raised to reflect the new amount needed for that month. Thank you for your understanding.</b>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>I'm Shameka, a Black disabled mother of two wonderful kids. I've been unable to work for many years, and throughout that time, my husband has been our sole breadwinner. This past July (7/08/2021), he suffered a massive heart attack plus stroke (his third stroke overall) that rendered him unable to work, also. We have survived since then on meager savings and the generosity of others.
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I filed taxes on my own for the very first time in my life last year, hoping to recieve the advanced child tax credit, and everything seem to be right, but I never recieved the advanced tax credits. Then this month (January 2022) I went to the IRS website to see what had happened, and I found out that my 2020 taxes that I filed last year were incorrectly processed as 2019 taxes. The E-file website that I used to file won't help me fix the error, and I can't get through to a person at the IRS who will help me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm not going to be able to get the tax credits at all, and I'm almost out of money. My husband still isn't able to do the kind of strenuous construction work he did before his heart attack, as his meds render him barely functional for long periods each day. He is heavily involved with local activism, and the non-profit organization he works with was approved for a grant that is supposed to be used partly to pay my husband a minimum wage that would greatly assist us in our survival, but the grant money hasn't been sent to the organization, and no one knows when or if it will actually arrive. At this point, my family has nothing to rely on or fall back on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our rent was increased by a hundred dollars, starting this month, and the city has increased the price of water usage by an exorbitant amount. That, along with all our other bills, weekly grocery shopping for two kids, plus my husband's absolutely necessary medications, places our monthly income needs at approximately $2063 per month. A fundraising goal of $30000 for the entire year, would cover all that, plus leave room in case of another medical emergency.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I really have no other choice than to fundraise for our continued survival. If there is any amount you could spare toward this goal, or if you are able to share this fundraiser among your networks, my family and I will be forever grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read and consider our needs.
</div>
