Hi, My name is Ginger and I figured I would try this again.
This thing says to tell the whole story and in detail so I will as much as I can with out losing your interest.
I have always had a pretty rough life, but those who know me claim it has made me the toughest woman they know to date. I usally handle difficult times as well as anyone can yet this one seems to be completely out of my control.
Back in March of this year I was in a car accident (which wasn't my fault) that left me with 3 herniated discs in my lower lumbar and nerve damage in my right leg. I was told this is permenant damage and hearing that made me cry because my career is on my feet for endless hours at a time and to make money you have to be ready and available at all times and that scared me. How am I going to make things work?
Being a single mother to one daughter and a career in cosmetology, clearly this put a huge dent in my life when this happened.
I was unable to work let alone move for quite some time. I had physical therapy for about 3 months. At that time I kept telling myself its all going to work out. I blew through my savings rather quickly. Which resulted in me not paying my rent and only paying for the necessities like water, light, and my phone. Everything else was left behind and with the little bit of money my daughter gets from her social security I would get certain things some what paid.
All this time I have a lawyer working on my case but the insurance company that the man had turns out to be a horrible company. I have been in hell ever since.
The owners of this house I have been in for 7 years decided they want to sell this house. When they came to visit they realized the house needed much work and they would wait to sell but to please pay the rent. Which would've given me enough time to get back to work and save up to move. At first they were telling me not to worry about the rent that they understood and that they would work things out with me. Unfortunately they also own my brothers home and they had words about them selling his and as a result they changed their minds and decided they wanted me out asap!
I begged them to please know that I don't speak to my brother and what ever happened between them has nothing to do with me, but they didnt care. They were giving me until the end of August. And to pay the money owed asap! I went back to work but I work in a very seasonal location in South Beach. I am paid by commision only. So their wasn't any money coming in because it was so slow and I was limited in my hours to work because of my injuries. In order to make enough I would have to spend more than 8 hours a day and with having issues of who was to watch my daughter and the pain it became difficult. In total of being back to work since June, I have only made $465.00. Between that money and my daughters social security, every dime was spent paying the owners their rent money that was past due.
If that wasn't the worst of it they recently fired me and I now work in a new salon but because it is so new I also am not making any money there to save anything and it too is on South Beach, which right now is very quiet.
I am being proactive and going to interviews but nothing yet.
And to put salt in the wounds the owners now emailed me saying they want me out by the 15th of August instead of the agreed end of August date. That they will not make me pay the rest of the money owed to them and they will give me my $1,000 deposit back if I go on that date. If I am not gone by then all of my stuff will get dumped. My lawyer then tells me sorry we aren't going to get results for your settlement anytime soon. And I was counting on this money to move.
So here I am overdrawn in my bank account and about to be homeless in 12 days! I have made arrangements for my daughter to be taken by my brother and I would go to a shelter. But most don't have openings and I am about to sleep in my car. Which is also behind on payments. So thats another fear I have. With all that has been going on I am trying to keep a smile on my face for her.
I have tried getting loans but my credit is horrible and I have asked for help but at this time the people I have asked can't help me. Especially finacially.
I am lucky my brother is willing to take my daughter for me until I am back on my feet. But this is driving me not to sleep anymore. I am beyond worried.
Please even if it's one $1, I want you to know I would appreciate it. Know that you are going to help keep us togther. I am already dreading being apart from her. If you are asking yourself where is her father and why isn't he helping. Its because he passed away before I knew I was pregnant. If you can help me raise this money in 12 days it would be a miracle! Please share this and thank you so much for reading.
Again THANK YOU for your blessings.
