Help a Family Dealing with Job Loss

This is so hard for me because I have never liked asking for help. But we have a one year old that is depending on us and I will do anything for her well being. Last year I became a stay at home mom, mainly due to medical issues. I started getting vertigo and it became impossible for me to drive or be in the car at all. We also thought it would be cheaper for me to stay home rather than pay for daycare. So I have been home with my daughter.

Back in March, my husband lost his job. A job that he has worked SO hard for. And we are now desperate. We have been unable to pay any of our bills. We are down to one car. I still have problems with vertigo so I don’t feel fully confident in going back to work, but I’m in a spot that I will definitely need to get at least a part time job right now to help out. Which I am currently working on. My husband also has a job right now that he just started that’s not really paying as much as we had hoped. And it will probably be a couple weeks before he gets a full paycheck.

Our landlords are kind enough to give us time to build up some money to start paying rent again. But that is not the last of our problems. I’ve been unable to pay on my car and if we lose my car, we are going to be in big trouble. We also need to pay utility bills and other things. I would not be on here doing this if I didn’t feel like we absolutely needed it. I have a child, and another on the way. We don’t drink, do drugs. We aren’t out all hours of the night. We are good, responsible parents who have had the WORSE luck. I want more than anything to be able to provide for my baby girl. I want to be able to keep a roof over her head. Yes, I believe we will get back on our feet, but we need help for right now. We just need to catch up on what we are behind so we don’t have to go without water, or gas, or a car. Absolutely anything will help at this point. And if you can’t help, please just pray for us. We need them now more than ever.
