Family in financial crisis; Urgent

Donation protected
Hello my name is Julia Jackson, and asking for financial assistance  is very difficult for me to do. I've prayed alot about my situation, and now must swallow my pride because I truly need the financial help. I'm a widow of eight yrs., with five children: one pre teen, three teens & one who's a young adult with a disability. I'm also caring for my mother..she's been living with me for, four yrs., and was recently placed in home hospice care because of advanced dementia.  If any of you have had, or do have a loved one with this disease, you know how heartbreaking it is to see them gradually disappear right before your eyes. My family and I are living in a hotel, by no fault of our own. I'm not working now because my mother needs around the clock care, and the services she receives through hospice isn't enough, so I have to be with her to care for her when  the aide and nurse aren't with her. I also have not been able to find and/or secure affordable housing for my family..It's seven of us and we need a home large enough to accomadate all of us, especially now....At present, I have no money and the hotel will put us out if I don't pay them on October 18, 2018. You have to pay in advance and I'm just paid up until the 18th..I need financial assistance to get the things that we need, pay the hotel so we won't be put out, and to help me get back on my feet so that I can get a home etc...It's costing me more to live in a hotel than if I was paying rent or a mortgage, but we don't have any where else to go. I never thought I'd ever be facing homelessness let alone with my family.  We need prescriptions that I haven't been able to get, groceries, etc...Two of my children have scoliosis and need their back braces..They are suppose to wear the brace an hour each day then gradually increase the length of time that they wear it in order to get adjusted to wearing it. The braces were somehow packed away in the storage facility prior to us moving into the hotel, and I don't have the money to get into the storage facility because all of the money I did have went into the hotel. I'm asking for you to please help my family & me.  Any amount you donate will be a blessing to us. Thank You & God bless you!
