Help getting caught up

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

I am reaching out because I am in a crisis and have nowhere left to turn. Since the passing of my husband everything has fallen entirely on my shoulders. I am the only parent my children have left, and I am doing everything I can to survive on a very limited income with no family support to help me.

Right now, we are facing active eviction and have a court date on September 18th. The landlord states we are $4,900 behind in rent. My absolute biggest worry is how I am supposed to pay this arrears while also trying to save enough money to move us to a sustainable place.

To make an impossible situation worse, we have completely lost our transportation.

My sons car was recently impounded due to a lack of insurance—which I honestly did not know had lapsed. This is a devastating cycle for us because losing my only transportation back in June is the exact reason I lost my job in the first place.

Now, without a vehicle, it is incredibly difficult to fix this problem, get to and from work or take care of Appointments.

How Your Support Will Help Us

  • Housing Stability: Clearing the $4,900 rent arrears to handle our court date and navigate our next housing steps safely without an eviction on my record.

  • Reliable Transportation:

Funding to either pay the fees to get impounded.

An Open Appeal for a Vehicle:

Because I have bad credit and no family to co-sign, I cannot go to a traditional car lot. If anyone reading this has a reliable vehicle they would be open to letting me make payments on, or knows a private seller who would work with a widowed mother, please reach out to me directly.Even if you cannot donate, taking the time to read our story and sharing this link with everyone you know means the absolute world to us.

Your shares and prayers are deeply appreciated.Thank you for listening and helping me protect my children.

Please help i dont know what else I can do to stop this or from getting through all this i cant do it alone!!
