Help Joshua & his fiancé get back on track
Donation protected
- Hello everyone, at the beginning of March I (Joshua) was accused of a crime I personally did not commit. My fiancé was also involved in the incident, causing the family we created to be ripped apart for the time being. Our two perfect little angels Mr. Carter (4 will be 5 May 5th), and Miss Baby Salem (7 months) , are currently staying with family member due to the fact unfortunately we cannot provide everything at the very moment.... We were evicted from our home while waiting to bond out of county jail.... when served our eviction notice giving us 5 total days to remove everything from that home, I (Joshua) was at my work place, causing problems with my employer..... I ended up losing my job... my fiancé was a stay at home mother and did delivery apps during the night when she had available time to do so... we couldn’t go and retrieve our belongings due to having our keys removed while being incarcerated.... which is illegal by the way... due to my work schedule at that time and our limited funds. We were only able to go end get our stuff on the last of the 5 days.... leaving some items behind.... well then came our first court date (April 7th), my so called Public Defender is not really defending me..... giving me no options but going away for something I seriously on everything DID NOT DO. With all that’s going on, unemployment says I owe them money, all of our cards are maxed out and or overdrawn, even my credit cards are some how overdrafted...didnt and even know that was possible. My family (who we trust) has helped as much as they could, as has hers (who we trust)..... with all that’s been going on, we’ve fallen so behind.... leaving us thousands in debt and so so so behind its sort of like a ticking time bomb to watch what’s left disappear.... all we really have left at this point is our phones, our cars, and each other.... our next court date is June 2nd...... we desperately need to catch up and continue making it. I’ve honestly never been so bad off....we’ve both been out on our own since 15 having a very traumatizing and hurtful childhood.. I’ve never been in such a bad mental state in my life either.. & I speak the same for my beautiful fiancé.. we’ve both watched each other almost take our own life’s without even realizing it, missing our family being together and having an actual home. Before all of this I hated asking people for ANYTHING. I’m not asking for a handout, not at all. I’m purely asking for help... we’ve got court cost, child care, and other state fees and payments. On top of our bills being around $1,500-1,680 per month. I’m so embarrassed to be writing this or even to post this. I’ve never done anything like this..... EVER! Please please PLEASE help me get back on track to help me get my family back together, PLEASE. Once again, I’m not asking for a hand out I’m asking for HELP! On top of all legal fees, bills, state payments, attorney fees, and Child care, and also trying to take care of ourselves....my vehicle I just purchased literally right before all this started happening has some problems and needs to be worked on....(Trans Fluid/ Filters/ Brakes/ Tires/ and Wheel Bearing) when I bought I purchased warranty for it and they’re trying to tell me any of that is not covered by the warranty I had to separately pay for does not cover any of that.... I understand times are hard for everyone right now and again I’m not asking for a hand out here I have been searching and searching for work with no luck ): please, anyone in a position to help please feel free.... me and my family would be so very thankful. Please help me make my family whole again! Thank you guys for reading god bless you all.... I also have Cashapp (JoshSmith998) &, PayPal ([email redacted]) and Thanks in advance! God bless you all!
Update 4/26/2021: On top of everything else was told about an hour ago where I’m currently staying I have to be gone by May 30th.... as if I didn’t have enough. I’m searching for work that’s hiring on spot $14-$15+ an hour (prefer weekly or daily pay if possible, would also like if first check wasn’t held). Any delivery/driver apps hire people with background? I have 5 years kitchen/management experience, done a little inside & outside home renovations, and customer service experience .... desperate here..
- Another update 4/27/2021; have some interviews coming up this week. One sounds like a for sure job that would be started same day....my fiancée is already one car payment behind and her insurance was due 4/26, which we didn’t have the funds so I’m scared we’re about to loose her vehicle..... everyone is belittling and talking down on me for asking for help. I never EVER EVER would’ve asked if I hadn’t tried everything in my power before making this or asking ANYONE for help. I know times are tough for everyone right now but, if you could and/or would please please please try....ANYTHING helps anything at all.. and please keep me and my family in your prayers and thoughts. Thank you.
