Want to provide a safe home for my son
Donation protected
I am a mother that just left a very traumatic, exchausting, long term, abusive situation with my young son. It took me a very long time to secure a transition house and although we are safe now, time here is limited to 30 days, then our future is unknown. I have taken every step possible to secure a place for us to live but seems impossible in this market, We are starting from scratch and need many things. I was also left with alot of financial debt, due to the control in my relationship and I'm unable to save enough money for a deposit and first months rent, plus my son needs important items that I have been unable to provide due to the control I was under, so very import I get them as it is consuming my thoughts everyday. I also have a disability that makes life a bit more challenging to make extra money and have no childcare. Unfortunately I just have no way of providing all these things in the time restrant I am working with.
I would like to mention asking for this kind of help is extremely hard for me, however I am aware it is necessary at this time, it's not just about me, it's about it's about my son. I need help and don't have access to the kind of support I need at this time I need right now to provide basic and necessary things for my son, it is extremely stressful, so its very hard to focus on the most important thing for us right now, healing. My son and I have been threw alot of verbal, physical and psychological abuse. Abuse is all I have know from a very young age, and I will fight as hard as I can to change the outcome of my sons future, so he has a chance of being more then a statistic. Any help will secire housing and necessary items.
Making the decision on coming to a transition was inparative to my son and I's healing jouney, it was extremely hard but knew it was the only way we could get the proper help we needed, however they only provide that security for a month, so I am still feeling extremely anxious about not having a home in 20 day, all I pray for is my son to feel safe and get the proper support we need to not have to return to a horrible environment, also need to learn the proper tools so my son is able to be as well rounded as possible before its to late, so he has a chance at a bright future. Its also so important to me that my son gets to be a child and not worry about adult issues or not having a home as kids to take on our stress and feelings. The abuse he has witnessed makes me extremely sad and very guilty as I'm sure many can relate too.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I appreciate any help, I thank you in advance for your time and contribution, even if you are unable to contribute, I appreciate you taking the time to read my story, awareness for other women is very important to me as well, its important to spread awareness on this serious issue. I pray other women and men in my situation read this and feel empowered and comfortable to reach out for help, as we all deserve to feel safe and have a warm place to sleep. This money will give us the stepping stone we desperately need and to secure housing & get basic necessaties to start a new life. Then we can start the real work, healing and living a happy healthy life.
