Homeless mom with 3 kids praying for a MIRACLE
Hello my name is Tameka and currently reside in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with my 3 small Children an 8 years old, an 3 years old and an 11 month old. We have been living Chapel Hill for 3 1/2 years. I am a mom trying hard to survive but encountered very hard times after finally deciding to leave abusive marriage of 9 years earlier this year. My children and i are currently homeless since on August 31st and have lost everything we own. My life has been turned upside down and i am struggling to provide for my kids. My biggest fear is to lose my kids due to my inability to provide. I have exhausted all my options. There is no room anywhere, all the shelters are overcrowded. I have utilized all resources at all the local agencies and programs and are on all the waiting list for housing opportunities to become available. With no space in shelters and no help on the horizon i continue to pray hard for a miracle, but my hope is dwindling fast. I have remained strong, but the blows keep coming. I have employment at a major hotel brand as a F &B Supervisor but due to being sole caretaker of the kids I had to cut my hours substantially. Because i am employed by major hotel brand (which has been a silver lining in our situation) I get discounted rooms when occupancy levels are low. On days i couldn't get a hotel room, I've had to sleep in car with my children. That was up until last week. On last Monday Oct 2, my only means of transportation was repo along with everything we own inside (carseats, clothes, shoes, pampers, important documents etc.) I had been holding everything together by grace of God, up until this point but this devastated me. Now my biggest fear is sleeping on the Streets with my kids. I'm doing all I can to survive. This has been hardest test of my life. I keep trying and fighting regardless of all of obstacles coming my way because of my kids. They are my whole life. I'm a not perfect mom and my life hasn't been either but i am striving so hard to create a better life for my babies. This money will help me get my car back, help paying for hotel rooms and other needs. while we waiting on an opening in the shelter or housing whichever comes first. Please help if you can anything is a blessing. I pray that God blesses everyone who sees, reads even If you can't donate. God bless keep us in your prayers.
