Murphy's Law makes the rules.
Single parenthood can be tough. As parents, we're responsible for three major things: putting a roof over your kids head, food in their tummies and being able to get them from point A to point B safely and warmly. We spend fourty hours a week just barely scraping by with the necessities. I let my finances get a little too far away from me (going down to a 36 hour week) and the term "overdraft fee" and I became very aquinted. I've found myself drowning in debt for the last few months when I realized I couldn't afford to buy my daughter winter clothes and diapers when Im struggling to cover just rent, electric, and my car payment. This has been an everyday struggle foralmost 5 months now and I have always kept faith that through love and support of those that care, I could make it through. My daughters first birthday is coming up December 5th and I've been fighting for weeks on how ill even be able to afford her a cake, much less any gifts. Murphy's Law was after me today. "Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong." I totaled my car on my way to work. Luckily my daughter wasn't in the car and I only walked away with a busted nose. but Im hoping to gather support to help get back on my feet to ensure I can get a new car to get back and forth to the sitters and to work. Im asking with all my heart to help out a girl with even $5 or $10 just to make this hopeless situation a little better so I can get my life better on track, so that I can provide the best i possibly can for my daughter.
