Dear GoFundMe Community
Have you ever been down in the dumps? Always feeling helpless or worthless? No matter what you do you just can’t seem to be happy. Your kids telling you how much they love you, while you trying to figure out what are you doing right to receive that much love from them? The thoughts and feelings when you can't afford to get your kids their basic necessities they need to be confident about themselves and maintain hygiene? I've falling into the most deepest depression state I've been in since my middle child passed away.
Here's Our Story:
I am a single mother of two wonderful children who are in need of support. My son struggles with dyslexia and severe depression, while my daughter is autistic and has ADHD. As their primary caregiver, I've had to navigate their individual needs and support them through various doctor's appointments, which led to the loss of my job as an CSA for a major airline company.
I am reaching out for help because I am currently unable to cover our basic living expenses. I've been applying for employment that would accommodate my kids schedule (with the school system), however i havent gotten a call back yet. I also applied for SSA, but am still waiting for approval. As a result, all of my savings are depleted, and we are facing the possibility of our utilities being shut off. I'm also falling behind on rent, and I am unable to provide my children with sufficient food and clothing.
I want nothing more than to give my children the best possible opportunities in life possible. I want them to have access to a good education, meaningful friendships, and the chance to experience happiness despite their circumstances.
Your support would mean the world to us and would relieve the immense financial strain we are currently facing. Your help will make a real difference in our lives. Thank you for taking the time to read, and for your consideration and help.
All proceeds will go to:
-$4,502 will go to delinquent rent
-$800 will cover the utitilities shut off notice
-$1,150 will get go to hiring an attorney to assist with SSA appeal
-$200 will warm coats, clothes, and hopefully shoes by shopping at our nearest GoodWill.
-$100 will get us detergent and thoroughly clean the few clothes and both blanket (especially because we sleep on the floor) at the laundromat after having to hand wash with hand soap and baking soda for over a year.
Prayerfully, after reaching our said goal, I would like to be a blessing to the next family as you've become a blessing to mine. One who may struggle to get their story out to the community as i find myself currently doing. Thank You and your family for supporting us. I would also like to meet and greet (virtual or in-person) with my donors so you will be able to see that your donation helped us to survive another day, and we can express our gratitude directly.
Be Safe and Be Blessed!
