Need help-hot water tank

As alot of you may know I set up a fundraiser months ago to try to get help moving to Florida! We had to be out of our condo March 31st I was paying 2300 a month and just could no longer do it on my income alone! My son could no longer be in pre school due to some personal behavior issues so one of us had to be home with him! We had no place to go and ended up at a family member house in which the house is just barely liveable meaning no hot water having to boil water to bathe needs new septic system and toilet and so much more! We are currently on every shelter waiting list from Nashua to Rochester and housing waiting list! Travis is now back to work while I am here with Owen working with case workers and doing groups. My son has witnessed and been through more than some adults have and he is full of anxiety and stress right now and angry at the world at moment..which he has every right to be! The Post just wrote an article regarding hunger and how hard it has been getting food resources or gas resources. We do go to food pantry but as most know you can only get so much!!

We have been struggling hard since lost our condo and life has been far than easy for us or happy for us!!!

Yes we are still trying to move out of NH and get to Florida. Travis is working and saving every dime we have besides essentials which leaves us with very little to save! I have applied for disability due to knee injury and needing to be home with Owen right now until starts kindergarten! I do NOT want to be seen as the girl whom is asking for handouts or the girl whom is to lazy to get a job and work because that is NOT the case what so ever!!! However even with Travis working we are struggling quite a bit with getting food gas for all apts and now his work getting summer items or our medications. I have applied for state assistance at this point and is pending now so fingers crossed!! As much as this embarrasses me being so vulnerable and putting my situation out here for all to read and be judged I am putting my pride aside because we all struggle or need help at some point in our life’s!! I have a great support network behind me right now and beyond greatful for all the resources that have been given to me and the support from the ones whom surround me!! I know we don’t get instant gratification and nothing is going to change over night! We have been put in a tough situation not having our own home sharing a bed one of having to be home with our son and found that it is nearly impossible to save with only one of working and all the bills and medications and gas! We are hoping to still move and be out of here by September is the goal at least!!

I am not asking for people to feel bad for myself or son or have pity on us and I promise I’m not sitting here woe is me!

I am asking if people could please find it in their hearts to help us get through this rough time! At this point we need a new water heater put in as we have gone past 4 months with no hot water no normal showers! We need the septic pumped and don’t have funds to do so.

I know life is a struggle for many other people out there right now and times are tough but at this point anything helps! A new water heater is going to run around 2000 to 2500 plus getting septic pumped! Travis pay checks as of now go to making sure our son has food and can eat going to our medications as I’m diabetic and am currently working very hard to get our insurance back on and maybe some food stamps!!

I am currently going thru everything we own and just trying to sell most of it to give us some extra money to go towards these things!! You have no idea how much taking a shower would mean to us exp my son whom doesn’t understand any of this! He doesn’t understand why I can’t iust take him bowling or get him a mountain bike or hair cut or summer clothes even ..I have never let my son go without and this has been beyond stressful and heart breaking knowing I can not even afford to get the things for my son that he needs or wants!!!

As streasful and hard as it may be right now I will NOT give up! I will continue to move forward taking it one day one hour one min even one second at a time! I will not stop believing that we will make it through this and I will not lose faith that we will be okay! I know god does not out us thru what we can not handle and even if I honestly don’t understand why this is happening to us I know there is a reason behind at all and maybe we needed to hit this point in life to get to a better point in our life!!!

Enough of me ranting on :)

As hard as maY be for me right now putting this out there for everyone to see I truly am asking people from the bottom of my heart to find it in your hearts to help us! Even when you if can’t do much anything helps! My son deserves and wants to be able to take a shower it has been a long 4 to 5 months with washing using boiling water!!

Thank you in advance and please if have nothing positive to say to me or about this fundraiser than please just don’t say at all: I have enough stress and self doubt at the moment !!!
