Family Hopes to Avoid Eviction
Donation protected
I'm not even sure where to start with our story... right now things seem to be overwhelming from all sides, but we do have a positive outlook that it will turn around soon. I'm typically not one to reach out for help like this, but a friend suggested that this might be a way to get through until my husband gets his first paycheck from his new job.
The reason I started this GoFundMe page I feel like I need to ask for help and have no other resources at this time. I need to come up with about $350 more by July 5th to ensure we are not evicted. I'm also very concerned about a water bill that was due on June 28th. I was able to pay the past due balance to keep it from being turned off, but I'm not sure how much longer they'll be able to work with us as we've been behind for months. I've been doing my best to keep up, but have not managed to get as much money as I had hoped for this past month.
My husband has been having issues holding down jobs lately due to some medical issues. He was recently diagnosed as possibly being Bipolar II. He is in therapy and has finally gotten on some medicine that seems to be helping. Another blessing was he has found a wonderful job opportunity that starts on July 14th.
While he was going through getting help, a majority of the bills for our family of 4 has fallen on me. Plus, due to his condition and the fact we have two young children I had to work from home to care for all of them. This has made it difficult to earn money at times, but we've made it this far and I have high hopes that we are on the right path and this is the last mountain we have to overcome.
I'm honestly so overwhelmed trying to handle everything I'm not sure what to do or even what help to ask for. I'm doing the best I can to keep up with everything, and I do have a few resources that some friends mentioned today that I will be looking into for assistance I'm hoping others can help through here as well. If you can't, I completely understand and just know that prayers and happy thoughts being sent our way are appreciated as well.
