Asking for Help as We Navigate This Journey
Donation protected
My husband has struggled with anxiety his whole life. Sadly he succumbed, like many, to dealing with everything by self medicating.
He slipped into a dark hole of substance abuse. Hiding the severity from those he was closest to. Suddenly, two weeks ago, things imploded. It was clear he needed help. Thankfully through supportive coworkers/friends he was able to get funding for treatment through an amazing organization.
However, he was the main provider in our home. (We have two boys a 6 year old and a 3 month old.) I had been staying home with the kids due to his crazy schedule of traveling for work.
Now, my shifts are limited to what I can get help with as far as caring for the kids. And while the 6 year old is easy, it’s harder with a 3 month old who is breastfeeding. I am in works to get childcare funding assistance for our youngest so I am able to put him in daycare. Allowing me to work while our eldest is in school. Sadly, my few shifts have barely covered bills for this timeframe, bank account is negative and funds for rent are nonexistent. Leaving me stressed and struggling only 9 days into his treatment.
My other resources have been used up. So I am asking for any help. Help to be able to pay for our rent, cover any bills overdue and just be able to breath while we support him on his road to recovery.
-sincerely, Delaney and the boys
