Needing A Fresh Start
Hello Friends,
I made this campaign for my best friend. She is a hardworking person with a great zest for life, an awesome mom, and a really great friend.
Recently she has fallen on some rough times. She moved across the country and had an amazing kid, but then the relationship went south. She is currently a single mother several states away from any family or friends. She does not receive much child support.
Her father committed suicide while she was away, and this took a large toll on her. She found work at an apartment complex and was able to move to the same complex. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after several episodes of depression and mood swings, and prescribed medication. Things were going well for a while, but as is customary for mental health issues, the illness reared it's ugly head. She found it hard to perform at work to the best of her ability, and was let go. Unfortunately, this means she was given 3 days to vacate the apartment as well.
With no job, no money, and a mostly broken car, she felt like she had run out of options. Last week, she took a large knife and slit her wrists on the day she was due to be evicted. She slit them long, hard, and deep. No "cry for help" scratches, the real deal.
She spent several days in the hospital, and was just released. The apartment community has politely eased up slightly and are allowing her to stay until she can get her things together, not for long though. She realizes she needs MAJOR help.
Here's where I come in. I am driving to her, to see if I can help. She has a few options, she can stay where she is and find a new job and home, she can move back to her home state, or she can move to my state and stay with our family until she gets sorted out. If she leaves the state she is currently in, she's in for a child custody fight.
Here's what she needs:
Money- If she does decide to leave her state, her car needs major work, or she needs help buying another one. She also needs money to get started at a new apartment, they all always want first/last months rent and security, and she does not have this.
If she comes to my state, she will live rent free, but will need help getting the essentials, and car help.
If she moves back home, she needs car help and essential help, as well as apartment setup.
I know there are a ton of other people with issues, but I've been where she is before, and it is rock bottom. If you help her out, you will be changing her life and it's current path.
All of the money will be accounted for and updates will be made!
