Hello all. I am hoping to raise cash to help cover my utility bills and payments/medical bills that have recently become delinquent. In December of 2024, my 1 year old granddaughter unexpectedly came to live with me. Shortly after my granddaughters mother (16) and her brother (15) unexpectedly came to live with me as well. I am unable to receive food or utility assistance, and I do not get any kind of financial compensation or help caring for them. I am a single mother, with my 2 youngest school age children living with me. On top of all this, my hours were cut back at my full time job, which I've been employed for 12 years. I came to rely on overtime pay, which I now know was a big no no! I do try to make ends meet by cleaning houses weekly on my time off. I don't ever like to ask for help, as I am very independent and pride myself in this. Bills have been piling up and when you're on a fixed income, it can seem impossible to get caught up. I'm hoping to avoid utility interruption and overdraft banking fees. Any help I get is greatly appreciated! For Heaven's sake, I never thought I'd say this, but I need HELP 😢
