Donation protected

Hello everyone! Asking for help isn't something I normally do, but I've come to accept the fact that I can't do this alone. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I'm a go getter. I worked for over 20 years and have been the sole provider for my family for as long as I can remember. I'm a widow  and my husband of both boys passed away about 2 years ago. He was sick and couldn't work for a few years before that. I had two jobs a few different times.I am in my upper 30's, and I have  two young boys and am almost 8 months pregnant by a man that dont even care back in Ohio. I just wanted to be loved because I missed my husband holding and protecting me  and my family but anyways that's my fault. I am pregnant with my first daughter and I'm really happy about that.
     We recently just located here to Georgia to get away from the drugs overdoses, crime and drama.  As beautiful as the views are  here and as friendly as the people are, we didn't know we would be faced with the destruction of Irma. Truthfully, there are many families and businesses still trying to recover from the disastrous storm from earlier this year on Jan 2nd where 20,000 families and businesses felt the tragic repercussions.
     Unfortunately, I wasn't able to raise enough funds to leave before Irma touched down in Dougherty County. However, with special honors and thanks,  my gratitude goes  out to two remarkable men who helped us by giving ge nerous donations. You know who you are. My guardian angels.
There are people who lost everything! My family and I were blessed to make it through eventhough we had to leave our home to take refuge in Putney due to no power for 4 days. The little food we did have spoiled and had to be thrown out. To add insult to in jury, our  house was burglarized and basically everything I worked hard  for was taken. I 've  never been one to value material things. Taking from  my  young boys is what tore me in half. Words alone, do not describe the sickening feeling of seeing how visibly shaken and hurt my lil guys werethat they had once again, been deprived of was righydully theirs. My family being victimized still bothers me to this day.  As we strive to put back the pieces and move forward, I'm calling  out to you out there to please help in anyway you possibly can . Learning that our home was broken into upon returning, I received a letter stating that I failed t o be present for an interview  that was scheduled a day prior to me getting the letter. Thus, the whole process to receive food stamps and medical had to be done all over again. Down here its 30 days for food stamps and 45 for medical. Believe it or not , I can show you proof of this whole o rdeal. From the police report to the letter from downtown.
     Yes, Irma is long gone, but I feel just as fearful and distraught having to face the brutal storms of hardship. I have epilepsy so,  I'm limited to what I can do as far as work right now and the dr has me on high risk and says no work for you. I have no money, no food stamps, no medical, and a 15 year old vehicle that needs some work done to it. I have been to food pantries  and I thank you God for that! Too b ad you can only go once a month.  I have to pay rent, buy uniforms for school, get food...oh the list goes on and on. Last year my hometown, Akron, Ohio was reportedly had the most overdoses from heroin than any other city in the country. We had a national epidemic and I'm still terribly saddened from the friends and family I've lost.
      I relocated here to Georgia with high hopes of giving me and my children an opportunity to have something better out of life. Now, with one setback after another,  I'm plagued with the uncertainties of what is to come for me and mine. I will do everything in my power to pay anybody back that helps us now. I am a very trustworthy woman and always keep my word.  I tried to  provided for my family and get everything we need without asking anybody, but now I feel as if  I've let them down. At this point, I have no o ther alternative than to humbly ask for help. I know God has us in His hands  yet, we have to try and put our best efforts forth too. So ,anyone reading this notation, I'm sincerely asking from the bottom of my heart to please help me. Donations, supplies and mostly anything will help. Thanks to all of you who reach out and aid me in these dismal times. Feel free to email me with your details and I promise I'll pay you back I'll write a contract anything to show you I will. Sorry so long. I could go on and on but this is enough. Thanks so much.
