Johnson family

Hello, first off, thank you for taking the time to click on here and read my story... Second off, anyone who knows me knows that asking for help, especially financially, is not something I do! I'm pretty dependent and try and do my best to figure things out on my own... That being said, at this time I need to think about my kiddos and put them before my pride and ask for some help.

My kiddos and I have had a rough year, were completely blind sided when their father walked out of their lives completely, were homeless for a period of time, and had many set backs. However, we have come so far in the last a year both financially and mentally. We have more love in our home than we have ever had! We can actually enjoy being home together, not walking on egg shells, and not enduring the mental and verbal abuse.

As many of you know, we have baby Dakota coming next month and we are so excited for her arrival, not the best time for a new addition to our family but she has already shown to be a blessing for all of us. 

I was hit with a few financial deficits all at once, one of them being no child support to help provide necessities for the boys amoung others. I have been working multiple jobs as well as working on my teachers certification so that I can become a certified teacher, increase my salary, and get into a stable career for my family. I have been working at my current school as a para/ substitute teacher, and coaching multiple sports for the last two years. I am working summer school this summer to try and help get ahead on some bills as well as working Uber as often as possible. I was working two other side jobs but due to some pregnancy issues I had to stop those two.

My goal by the end of summer when baby Dakota arrives was to have two months worth of bills paid ahead so that I won't have to stress as much and can be sure my kiddos and I have a home and all that we need. While I'm off work with having Dakota I won't be getting paid and being I have to have a c-section I will be off for a bit with no income. I do plan on trying to work some Uber, with my kids help, as soon as I'm able to drive but that's not guaranteed of course. 

I have run into some complications with this pregnancy and I'm not able to work as much Uber as I was hoping t. Between my regular school check and my summer school check I'm not going to even come close to my goal of being ahead financially. That's stressing me out and not helping my pregnancy complications. 

I'm asking for help in any way you're able to be it donating whatever you can or even just a simple sharing of my story and page would be greatly appreciated ❤️

***Breakdown of bills per month***

Rent $1340

Car $745

Car insurance $95

Power (average for hot months) $200

I am having to have a c-section and the doctor has told me to plan for at least 8 weeks off. It is scheduled for August 24th unless the high risk specialist decides she needs to come earlier
