Rough times on our family

As some of you know, I have been the main caretaker for my mom, as well as being a full time single parent. Over the past few years, I have been struggling financially, mentally, and emotionally trying to hold all of this together on my own. I have recently made the decision to ask my mother to move onto other means of living and care, as I cannot maintain this lifestyle any longer. Month after month my daughter, mother, and I have had our roof over our head compromised because of late rent payments, I have been unable to provide consistent healthy food options for our family, and have struggled to keep bills paid all on my own. While this decision to remove myself as the person to have sole responsibility of my mothers care has been a tough one, I know its the best for all of us. My mental and physical health has declined significantly and I need to be able to focus on providing the best life for my daughter. During this process of moving my mother out, I will be losing my means of transportation. My mother is taking her car (previously OUR car, as she cannot drive) and I will be left with no way of commuting to and from work and getting my daughter to and from school. I am actively looking for side jobs to try and come up with the money as soon as possible, but this has been very difficult as I am a full time parent with no money to pay for child care if I work a second job. I am reaching out to my friends and family in desperate need of help. In no way am I asking for free money. I will do whatever I can to offer my services or help in any way possible. I will make and send you handmade jewelry, paintings, cakes, do housework/yardwork/babysitting (for those who live in the portland area), anything I can do. I am at the point where I have nowhere else to turn. Any additional funds above and beyond my goal will go directly towards bills or rent to help us get back on our feet. 

If you are able to help, anything at all, I will be forever grateful. If there is something you would like to request from me in return for your help, please just put it in the comments and I will make sure that I am able to fulfill that request. 

Please rest assured that once I can get through this situation, and back to only caring for myself and my daughter, we will be able to turn our lives around. I'm also seeking therapy to help me get through my mental/emotional distress that I have been suffering the past few years, to ensure that Rylie and I can move on and live a happy and healthy life.
