Hey y'all!

I come to you obviously with not so great news or you wouldn't be reading this. I'll be blunt, we will soon lose our home

I work hard to create a safe and happy life for Kemper, but like we all do sometimes, I've hit a big snag and need help.

The last few months have been some of the hardest. I've had some health issues with my heart that had to be taken care of, and was hospitalized several times for what became dangerous infections in my throat and around my lymph nodes due to needing my wisdom teeth removed. At the time, I couldn't afford the expense, but after 4 hospitalizations in 2 months, I had to just put up the additional monies needed to have the procedures done. But when you don't have it, it has to come from somewhere, and this is where the problem really began. Medical expenses, time off of work, and a few other factors led to where I was this past week, and now we are on a 4 week layoff. Due to the new unemployment system in the state, our existing claim we open for the summer does not just reopen as it did on the old system; I just found out it will possibly take a month to see these funds. And even if it did reopen, it's just not enough to have any chance of saving us from the inevitable.

Our home is now at risk. I have to come up with $2000 before Jan 1st to avoid eviction from our home. We really don't have anywhere we can go, and because I don't drive, if we lose our home, I will most certainly lose my job. I have worked so hard for 10 years to keep this child safe, and at this time I'm facing one of the most nightmarish circumstances for a parent.

It's winter, it's Christmas, and it's just plain scary.

I realize it is winter and Christmas for all of us. I realize times are hard for all of us. I avoided asking for help as long as I possibly could. I'm embarrassed to even admit I can't get out of this situation by myself, but I have to try for Kemper, therefore I'm coming to all of you.

I am not posting this publicly, as there are people no longer in our lives that do not need to be in our lives, and again, I have to protect my child.

At this time I'm at your mercy and ask for your help, anything at all you can help with with this, and if you can't, send some light and love our way.

Forever grateful, Me
