Bills Help

Donation protected




My name is Zayn Cruz (27years). My Mother passed recently in February 24th, 2024 at (50years). We opened a small business together and built a home on top of the business in the same building. We have both been struggling to make money because of legal battles my mom was at the front lines of. Due to some people putting her off, not doing their part to help, and taking money from my mom that they didn't deserve, it left her scrambling to provide for not only herself but the 3 beings she helped create. Due to her being the sole operater behind the business and running all of the cards, banks, and bills (she told me not to worry about out of her being a totally awesome spoiling mother), I had to turn everything over in my name and keep the business and building operational (for my first time dealing with this stuff ever). It's been really difficult right now to maintain high hopes given my mom's recent passing, the outrageous mortgage on the building and things needed to be cancelled, paid off, and continued it took a huge bite out of the money my mom and I have left combined. I'm looking to sell the building and everything in it. In the meantime I'm working doing Uber and don't have the time nor energy to apply for a "regular" job since I'm dealing with the business and living space mostly on my own (I have a team helping me so not completely). I can pay bills but the mortgage for us owning the building is way too much for me to handle by myself and I didn't know about all these things my mom was doing to get the business and building up running. Look. I Reaaaaallly don't like asking for money, nor do I give a F about it, but I need it and I need help paying this mortgage at least for the next 2-3 months so I can not be so stressed out. Every little bit helps, if y'all can't help or won't I get it. This is last resort. There's more to the our story if you'd like to know more please contact, or leave a comment or message. The business wasn't generating a decent enough income for me to re open after my mom's incident and seeing how I had to close because I was mourning and couldn't put people through that my own income halted and after paying off all the necessary things we needed to pay off , my mom and I combined, it made me close to living in a car (which is not so bad). I'm using different methods to ask for help. I don't want to beg and I truly don't even want to create this gofund me but I really need help just in this period of my life while I work out the selling of the building. (I'm Going To Move Out & Live Somewhere Completely Different. Somewhere I can afford for myself alone since the place I'm in now is still the place my mom and I built. Since she is physically not present with us, the bills and all the business stuff is taking a toll on me since she was the one running numbers while I just did chores, cooked, cleaned, and did basic necessities. On top of all that my mom was looking for treatments to her cancer for the whole two years we opened the business and took a bite out of her money she had saved up. I just really need help with the mortgage, especially while in the process of taking care of all this switching over, canceling memberships, coverages, partnerships, and basically everything on my mom's side so there are no loose ends. I've been burnt out and for me to make the money for it I'd have to drive every single day non stop and it's very draining. If There is anything y'all can give that won't hurt y'all please help a homie out. Ya boi needs the assistance for once. I don't want to have to make another go fund me ever again. I really f-ing don't.
