Pregnant, Struggling, Single Mom
Asking for help is so hard sometimes, but I'm not sure what else to do...
I am a fairly newly single mother of two boys, ages 11 and 2, and I am expecting a baby girl in early August. My marriage fell apart after he became abusive to my 11 year old. After being a stay-at-home mom, I have struggled to stay afloat in my small hometown, and it has not worked out. I have decided that my best bet is to move closer to my family, where there are also more job opportunities. But being 6 months pregnant, with little help and no savings, is making the whole moving endeavor seem impossible. I am so scared... I have 3 months to find a new home to bring my baby girl to. 3 months to create a fresh start for me and my children. Would you consider helping me?
I am hoping and praying that I can raise enough money to pay for gas and somewhere to stay while I find a job and a rental property that will accept me. When I do find those, I will need the financial help to afford the deposits and moving expenses. I will also have at least a month of no work after my baby girl makes her arrival, and I will use the rest of the funds to keep up with my bills during that time.
The picture here is of my boys when my youngest was 6 months old. My eldest is such a great big brother... My youngest is becoming more a toddler and less a baby. And I'm so blessed to be having a little girl to add to the mix. My children are my whole world. If you are able, please consider helping me provide a better life for them... A fresh start... A safe and happy home.
I would be eternally grateful for any bit of help! If you aren't able to contribute financially, please know how much I appreciate your thoughts and prayers and friendship!
