single mom with small biz struggles desperately
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Leslie. Some of you know me because we have been friends for years, some may be current clients of my small cleaning business, and many may not even know me. Just like so many other families, my family is worried with the coronavirus spreading throughout the USA. For families like mine, and I am sure for most families, with schools closed and the unexpected added expense of our kids home until at least April 15 and businesses shutting their doors budgets are pulling tighter and tighter and going from worrisome to down right scary.
However for cleaning services like mine, the financial hit began almost immediately. People are fearful others will bring the virus in to their homes. Again completely understandable. This virus has stolen my ability to support my family and as a single parent home my cleaning service is what my family has depended on. I have started applying for other type work starting weeks ago, at first restaurants but now grocery stores and gas stations.
With April's rent coming due quickly, as of now I dont have all it. With only 2 jobs scheduled that have not cancled between now and the 3rd which is last day rent is considered not late the hope of coming up with rent is slim.
In an average month I clean between 3 and 5 houses a week. Some are weekly, some bi-weekly, some monthly but it works out to where bill's get paid groceries are bought a little set side for savings and we can still do some fun things. This month all but 8 have cancled. As of right now with the electricity paid, internet, car insurance, and phone there is a little less then $300 left in my accounts.
I had to take my 2002 Buick into the shop earlier this month to have coolant system repaired, then had to fix flooring in bathroom when a pipe broke. I of course will add pictures of receipts and bank statements to show what I am saying is true.
I have never been late with my bills, never been evicted from a home and have no family to turn to. The President, Congress, and our Govonor is working on temporary solutions for homeowners and for people already in foreclosure and the eviction process but nothing so far for renters who are up to date on their bill's.
We have cut back everywhere we can. Canceling cable TV ( I had to keep the internet for virtual schooling...kids studying and researching 2 -3 hours each subject a second is needed but as of now unattainable) not buying anything that isnt 100% necessary. StillI I have had to buy 2/3rd more groceries with kids home for all 3 meals a day plus snacks where as before breakfast and lunch they ate most days at school.
I am not someone who begs, I have been self sufficient since my husband passed away but the thought of my kids losing their home has pushed me to ask for help.
I will happily clean your home, do yard work, run errands, I am willing to do anything that is legal for help.
Please, I am begging, help my kids and me keep our home, our electric on, and food on the table.
I will upload more pictures soon.
