Trying to rebuild our lives!

Hello my name is Jazzlyn I’m a single mom to 4 wonderful smart beautiful children. Me myself I’ve feel like I’ve failed them many of times over and over despite how hard I may have worked presently and the past. Starting October I decided I would end my residency and my very long draining domestic relationship, I had finally chose me and my children over the toxic situations I may have been in. I packed up my babies with 4 backpacks, one suitcase, a pressure washer, all of my cleaning supplies, and a oversized blanket and 200 dollars and we had began our journey to Arizona. Me not knowing where I was going, I just knew that me and my children would be Free. We we’re very grateful to only had to spend one night in a motel and the next day we had met this lady that had picked up from a motel and drove us over to Avondale, she dropped me and my children off and said she had a house for us but it would only be temporary, because she was gonna make the home a sober living home. The plan was for us to stay till she had got approved for the licensing for the sober living home, and than when that failed she tried for a family shelter and that got denied as well. On November 17th while sitting in a empty home for over a month, I called her and said Hey what’s up what are we gonna do with the home, she advised me that she didn’t get approved for the shelter and that we would have to move by d December 1st. With a racing heart, that literally dropped, I said what do you want me to do, she advised me to call the realtor and said that the home had been relisted for rent and they had put a lockbox on the door. When speaking to the realtor, he advised me that the home had been listed and he also advised me that the lockbox was back on the door because he had no idea that anyone was occupying the home. After reasoning with him he allowed me to apply for the home, he was very through with the process, After carefully reading over the documents I decided to apply and I got approved, he said why not approve you your already in the home, I became very thankful. The home had been empty since October, no furniture or anything. Here we are in middle November a week before Thanksgiving, getting approved for a home, that we already occupied, furniture less and everything not knowing what I was actually getting myself into, the goal was to not let my children down. This were their dream to always have a stair home they would call it. Me having a cleaning business I knew I could manage the home, I just knew I would have to work sun up to sun down for to all work out, I came up with many of plans and it was working, my only downfall was me not having a vehicle and not getting any assistance for food that it would take away from my daily funds and prevented me from saving. In December I won the Christmas list for 104.7, I received furniture, toys for my children, several gift cards, and assistance with rent. The community reached out to me and helped with childrens clothes, jackets, food, toys, table and chairs, literally everything to put our home together. Recently I received a eviction notice and I almost gave up hope, I prayed about it and ask to God for his complete guidance, as a cleaner I know it’s only so much I can do, I know that my body is gonna only allow me to clean so much before it gets tired. It me against time and a court date of January 17th. I’m trying to save my home, get me a small vehicle so I could conveniently get back and forward to my clients home and I’ve recently got hired for a 3rd shift at Hello Fresh. Which that will take time. But I’m grateful for that opportunity as well. I’m very grateful for any type of donation and prayer to help save my home. Thank you so very much for reading.
Update: After a fight in court, the eviction has been granted. I have to move by February 15th. All shelters are full and or don’t accept boy 8 and older, 211 is a dead end as well. Moving will be expensive and so will trying to stay here. We may end up in a weekly to further notice.
