Desperate times.

Donation protected

As most probably say, I hate this point in my life where I'm seeking
public assistance. We've been scraping by with handing out the minimal amount of bills just to stay afloat - it's all we can afford. We've finally
reached the end of the wick,  and our pockets are dry. 

During my last job I'd gotten a stomach virus, and I missed too many 
days and gotten let go.  I've been seeking new Employment, but to no 
avail. This is a small town, and we only have one vehicle to share which we are on the verge of losing. While waiting for a phone call I've been 
working with my online business, which will one day be profitable, but 
it's still too new. 

As of this week, our rent is due to the tune of $600 dollars. They've 
been very lenient. The problem is we own our trailer and cannot just
move it. The rent we pay is for the lot.

By 19th we owe about $2,050 on our car, otherwise neither my 
husband nor myself can get to work or anywhere else.

We've also got several other bills due this week - Water, Lights, and 
Cable is $500, which isn't a necessity, aside from my husband and I 
both relying on the internet for our online jobs/dreams.

So, this is where we are, friends. From having everything to in a few 
days having nothing. I wish I could say this was for a better cause. It's
just a family struggling to make ends meet and out of options.

We could lose our car, our home, our pets, and our kids having a place 
to come visit over the summer and Holidays, which we also need the 
car for.

Any little bit would mean so much and honestly we'd be forever 
grateful.

If you can't help, please just share this post. :) Thank you everyone.
