New Begins; Ripple Effect
My name is Jennifer and my family and I have been struggling in every aspect of our lives this past year. Between my fiance and I we have 7 amazing children and dont get me wrong both him and I are working but its not making ends meet and were just basically digging our graves at this point.
In January we were evicted from our house because we were falling behind on rent and the landlord wouldnt work with us to get the ERAP program. Were currently living in a 2nd floor 4 bedroom apartment, where we have 5 of the 7 children at all times. Thankfully the children have all been very understanding and ultra patient with us during our struggles.
Because of lack of finances we didnt have the money to replace our car window, the headlights, or the tail lights we needed in order to get it inspected...
We got pulled of a total of 4x (each fine $150) for driving without insection.. What were we supposed to do? We had one vehicle, no money, and were doing what we had to do in order ot get groceries, get kids back and forth to school, get the back and forth to all their activities...
So as all this is happening we finally decide okay were gonna park the car and rely on our familes to help us... They gave us a ticket for the car be ABANDONED!! 10 days to fix all the issues and get it inspected before they take the car for being "abandoned"..
How is a car that you have 4 tickets for abandoned? We moved the car down the road and yet they STILL took our car from us. Called the Towing Company to see how much it would be to get it out, $300..... So as we're already drowning in debt, the city keeps ensuring that no matter what we do, we cant get ahead.
Already a month behind on rent at the new apartment, and got a threat from the landlord that if we dont come up with it soon were going to be evicted; again.
So mind you we lost almost all of our belongings when we moved , so right now were all sleeping on very cheap springy mattress, yea the kids have bunk beds but man none of these things are comfortable, my fiance and i are currently sleeping on a twin mattress laid on the floor. Ohhh and we dont have a livingroom suite because its to big to fit in our apartment... Been trying to work on ways to do that but with everything else it just isnt in our cards.
My lightbill is $900, thankfully because of LiHeap my gas bill was negative so i only owe $100 on that but honestly thats the only thing I have going for me.
I'm still waiting on my 2021 income tax which was supposed to be here by May 8th; call on the 8th, and they tell me call back at the end of the month if i havent heard anything. So here it is the end of the month again, I called them and they told me to call back in ANOTHER 30 days..
I've been really sick for the past week and it caused (even worse than normal) stomach issues, just had an ultrasound for that because they fear it's my gallbladder; so im currently waiing to hear whats going on with that and what they plan on doing to make me feel better so I can take care of my family and honestly just feel better because my stomach is in utter knots and it feels like someone is using it as one of those fast hitting small punching bags. Josh hasnt worked this past week because the job site he was at got all the wrong parts and they have been waiting for the parts to arrive... It's one thing after another, if it wasnt for the kids i would say screw it all and live in a tent in the woods, but they are the ones that are suffering and its just not fair, they are all incredible and deserve so much more than they are getting... Trust me, we have been trying EVERYTHING in our power to do this alone but me getting sick was the final straw.. We need help.
Proof that Im not just asking because I'm lazy or of the such, Im a hard worker, I am a very caring peron who will go out of my just to make someones day or help them, above all I am a very tired mother that is giving her all and it just isnt enough.
