Mother of 3 in need of any help

Donation protected
Hello my name is Hillary Oconnor. I am a single low income, disabled mother of 3 children. I was recently evicted with my children on September 6th 2018, unfortunately the same day my car was towed and i couldnt afford to get it out. We are now living in a Motel in the Northwest Suburbs without a vehicle. I am legally disabled due to kidney failure that i suffer from. I also suffer from Anxiety, Depression and PTSD due to the lost of my mom when I was 16 and 7 months pregnant  with my son, as well as being a domestic voilence survivor  ( I was abused from 2001-2006 ) from my son's father. My 10 year old daughter suffers from Bi-Urinary Reflux so she requires an extreme amount of special care, that is one of the reasons we cant stay in a shelter.  Without my daughter having the proper care I provide for her she can easily start to get re-accuring kidney infections, leading to kidney failure and possibly multiple surgeries. From my own experience and surgeries I am so scared my daughter would ever have to even feel a piece of that pain like I have.  My 16 year old son is a strong, determined young man in his sophmore year in highschool, and he is a great student and a great romodel for his younger sisters. My 1 year old daughter is a great joy although she requires alot of my attention while she is showing early signs of ADHD. My kids are my whole world. It hurts me beyond words that I cant afford rent and security to move into an apartment. It is also very difficult  living in the suburbs in the winter without a vehicle. I am asking for any help from anybody or any place that is touched from my story and my wonderful children's little faces. I struggle to pay for the motel we are currently staying at because my disability check only covers barely two weeks of our stay, so the other 2 weeks plus ( about 17 days out of the month) we are desperately looking for emergency funding or donations to get us through the month at the motel. I am working with multiple housing agencies for long term housing assistance, but it does take time. With the holidays and winter coming so soon and ob top of us being homeless for almost 2 months now, we have been very patient and so thankful for any help we have gotten or may get in the future. Please if anyone can help with any donations or emergency funding for our motel stay, for our new Apartment, for a cheap used vehicle and for any of all our belongings and possessions we lost in the eviction; please that would mean so much to myself and children. Your help is so greatly valued and appreciated. Thank You all and God Bless!
