Stacie's Starting Over Campaign

My name is Stacie J. Whitaker-Harris. I am a college educated, published author, community and social justice advocate as well as the mother of three beautiful Jewels. Although it is difficult to become fully vulnerable and essentially naked for the entire world to see - I relinquish my pride in hopes to rebuild my family.
The last 7 years has tauhgt me that though I am accustomed to being on the giving end, though I am used to being strong, even people with my heart and characteristics can find themselves in need of a helping hand. So, though painful, scary, and even a little embarrassing to share, I do so anyway because it's time and I need YOUR help!
Almost 7 years ago I lost EVERYTHING; house, car, clothes, stability and almost my mind since then. I suffered from severe debilitating depression and later found myself applying for disability, not because of a physical impairment, but mentally, I was broken. I simply did not think I would recover.
Me and my children have been in a transition home, shelter, living pillar to post and then finally a year ago, separated from one another. We lost everything pretty much twice. Being in the transition home, our apartment was plaqued with a bed bug invasion. We literally had to get rid of hundreds of books, clothing, shoes, coats, furniture...EVERYTHING!
Reassembling my life has been no easy task. Last October my youngest daughter came back to live with me in a room that I rent. And although I work 10-16 hours a day, I am still not getting ahead. This fundraiser is to help me rebuild, cover legal fees to file bankruptcy, to catch up and prayerfully, get ahead.
