Magnuson Family of 4 in need!

Hi. I first want to say this is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I am losing hope and gave it a try. I know there are and will be really hateful people out there who will say awful things like accusing my family of begging or saying we don't deserve any help. Even worse, make up lies about my family  two others  just so they will turn their cheek .  Yes, I believe it,  it happened and it disgusts me . Whatever you have against me is fine but don't hold it against my children . How do these people have any right to judge me? They have NO clue as to what I am and have been going through for a long time! Things were really good until recently. I need to ignore those trying to bring me down, I just don't understand people,  that's all. It takes A LOT of courage to ask for help! If these people  who are putting me down  could live in my shoes for just a couple of days let's see how far they get because I guarantee you they wouldn't make it a day!!  It's okay though, I'm already feeling stronger  and in the end I  know I can look back and say I got through it! I don't know about you but when I help others  it makes me feel really good  and when I'm able to help  I'm one of the first ones!  I don't  help someone out  just to get something in return I do it because that's who I am and I'm a good-hearted person! Thank you so much for visiting our page and kind words and kind thoughts  only please.

My name is Michelle Magnuson.  I am a wife and a mother of 2 from Columbia IL and has been here since I was 11. I never thought I would be in the in the situation I find myself in, but here I stand. I am asking for help. Over the course of the last year we have been through the unimaginable. Knowing how much my kids love and need me, I have tried to keep from being suicidal. It's hard to not be hopeless when you are struggling like this and feeling alone and scared. I have worked full time since the day I graduated high school at age 17 but recently life has been really tough and I was  so depressed I couldn't even work until recently when I started on the job search again with no luck. I started a temp job but unfortunately it didn't work out. We have suffered  everything from job loss, being homeless, our electricity currently shut off in this heat, I recently had a job then not having a job and now my husband was in a terrible car accident where he was pinned against the guardrail and had to be extricated and then taken by ambulance to Memorial.  This has caused him to be unable to work. He is a union plasterer, which is very physically demanding, so work is not an option right now.  He was even supposed to start a new company  the Monday after the wreck!  We are already near eviction due to being behind on rent. We had something worked out with the landlord  to pay weekly as long as he was back to work last week. But due to the accident that option is gone and it all has to be paid by July 1st and we definitely do not have it or close to half of it!!  The worst part is,  we  are out of options on places to stay  and I do not want to put my kids through being homeless again  or losing them to my parents since they will give the kids a place to stay. I worry about my children. I don't have family that is willing to help but I am doing all I can to make sure we will be okay. I never wanted to ask for help, but at this point I do not have a choice. We are the ones who  always lent a hand whenever we were able to. If you find it in your heart to please donate anything that you can, our family would be most appreciative! Thank you.
