Help My Family With Basic Living Needs

Donation protected










  • Hello Friends & Family, 
I'm coming to you with a hole in my heart because I have to ask for help for the first time in a public way. My family and I have been through the ringer this year when it comes to finances, to say the least. (Its me, my kids father, my 2 daughters ages 9 & 11 yrs old, & our 12 yr old dog Zeus we have had his whole life).We moved out of our home we lived in for over 10 years a few months ago. We then moved into a family member's home to help with finances for them & us. We thought it would be a win-win situation due to us helping each other in lots of ways like we have done in the past. That came to abrupt end very quickly (a little over 2 weeks of being there)due to personal issues that were out of our hands due to an underlying mental illness. I would rather not disclose the reasoning behind everything due to this is an ongoing family situation. People who know me & my family already know this ongoing issue for many years. We thought we were in a stable situation due to planning this move for several months but ended up not being a safe environment for my children & their wellbeing, my children's schooling, having transportation for food & everyday needs, transportation for keeping a job, and for my family's mental health & sanity. My children are my number 1 priority regardless of the situation. Their safety & well being will always come first before any needs of myself or their father get addressed ever.The situation escalated to evolve the authorities & their advice to us was to leave peacefully even though there wasn't anything illegal happening. The officers felt the mental state of the person we were sharing a residence with wasnt going to get any better but could get a lot worse. We agreed with the officers, even though we had nowhere else to go nor was this the plan I couldnt imagine happening but it did. This put us in a really fragile state when it comes to finances, transportation (our motor blew in our vehicle & would cost $6000 plus to fix), and everything else in our life. I spent all the food stamps in this residence and wasnt allowed to get any of it or any of our belongings that we couldnt carry that night while the officers were there. We have to wait for the person doing this to let us schedule a time in the future to be able to get our belongings. By the time all this is said and done I can only imagine there wont be anymore food left to pick up. Everything we own is at this house besides what we could physically carry out of the house that night. This includes my kid's clothes, my kid's toys, my clothes, my hubby's clothes, my kid's shoes (besides the pair they had on their feet), my shoes, hubby's shoes, and everything else from our house we moved from previously. We looked around for all the help in our area and came up empty handed. All the shelters in our area & the counties near all are full or arent taking any families with children in at all. We didnt have any other options so we had to move to a hotel. Its VERY expensive & we couldnt find any other options with keeping our family together. I believe that moving on from that negative & unstable situation was the best decision I could of made for my family. Now with that being said, we are facing an uphill battle with finances to say the least. This is why im coming to my friends, my family, my community, and any warm hearted wonderful person that can make our financial struggles a little bit easier. We both work full time jobs but it's not no where close to being enough to cover living in a hotel. The only way we have to cook at the moment is a microwave. That makes food expenses so much harder with no being able to cook like I'm used to with a stove/oven. With the temperatures not getting any warmer we are in an uphill battle with that too. Honestly, I can't think of how many obstacles we have in front of us because this would be a million miles long. I'm so embarrassed for even having to ask for help. I'm so greatful to this being the 1st time I've even had to turn to the public to ask for this kind of help! I just want what's best for my family & my situation. I knew we couldn't bare this burden alone without some kind of financial help. I pulled all of my bravery and courage out of me just to write this for my family needing help.
