HELP Leah's Grandchildren in crisis
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Leah and this is about my four grandchildren. The oldest granddaughter, who is 8, is from my son's previous relationship. Then, his wife has a 7-year-old non-verbal autistic son from a previous relationship, and his biological father is nowhere in the picture, no child support, nothing. They also have a 2-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son together.
It started in 2020 with the pandemic. My son and his then-girlfriend (now wife) lost their jobs and were having to live in hotels, which I paid for to keep them with a roof over their head with water and electricity. This was costing me $413 a week. Then they found a place to rent, but with inflation, the rent doubled. With their jobs being lost due to their vehicle getting repossessed, they have to have jobs within walking distance. I cannot take them to work every day and pick up; gas was costing me $200 a week.
Due to an ongoing court case, my son is the one that is having to stay home while his wife looks for work within walking distance. Her non-verbal 7-year-old son's neurologist appointments are 50 miles away. They are about to be forced into foreclosure due to no income, even though her son was approved for disability four years ago he has yet to receive any check from disability. Yes, they are now in a duplex which is what's going to go into foreclosure and they will lose their kids. Her family is estranged from her and we are all they have.
But I have never, through everything I have gone through since childhood, ever asked anyone for help. But God knows they need it right now. They can't lose their kids; they are amazing parents and love them so much. If you can find it in your hearts to help financially, even if it's just a dollar, it is appreciated more than you will ever know. If you can't donate, prayers are greatly appreciated
Like I said, this was hard for me to ask of anybody because I've never asked anybody for anything, but I don't want my son to lose his kids or them go into foster care. My own medical problems keep me from being able to watch them. I want to catch their mortgage payments up and pay up their electric bill and find some kind of reliable car for them to get to work and the kids' doctor's appointments, which is a must for the non-verbal autistic son. Help please if you can! I will be the one paying up the mortgage with anything donated and paying the electricity and water up to date. I will post every bill paid and keep you up to date on everything.
If somebody has a car they can donate, it only has to be reliable, not pretty, but I will also be looking for some kind of old reliable car for them to get to their appointments and work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read. Thank you and God Bless
Funds will go to catching up house payments to stop foreclosure
Help with getting vehicles to get to work and taking their children to Doctors appointments especially the nonverbal Autistic who has to have therapy and Pediatric Neurologist appointments that are 50 miles away.
Catching up lights and water bill.
Both parents have to work but can only look for jobs close to their home to walk to. They have no way to pick up children if emergency were to happen while working. That's all on me and I'm not always available.
Every little penny counts and appreciated more then you will ever know. Yall have been such a blessing this far and I know it will keep this family a whole and not separated Thank you so much for taking the time to read and share it means so much❤️
