Family, I have to be honest with you today, as I type this.

For a long time, I sat trying to decide what to post in fear of being judged by people because they have seen me at this place before. The truth is, because of that, I have done the very thing I encouraged others to not do, and that is to "Suffer in Silence." I never thought that leaving my husband and the marriage and moving would be easy, but I did know that it is possible. And also learning that community is VITAL!

So today I am sharing where I am.

Two weeks ago I lost my virtual assistant position. It was not because of anything I did wrong. The funding my employer was counting on never came through, money I was already owed never made it to me, and my position had to be eliminated. That loss over time has put my family in a bind we have not been able to climb out of. I know you will say find something else. And I have been looking. Also to get something and have to UBER back and forth would make it like not working at all. So there is a barrier that I am addressing by doing what I can do, and that is looking for WFH opportunities and running my business which takes time.

Unfortunately, I am now a single mother raising three children on my own. Their father cut off all communication with us at the start of this year. I filed for child support, but that case is on hold. I have called every agency in my area, filled out every form, and knocked on every door I know of, and there is no funding assistance. I did not want it to come to this place again but, right now my family is facing eviction, and I have to be in court on the 27th. And I refuse to allow that to happen.

So, I am asking for help. My immediate need is $4,400 in the next two days to cover the rent we are behind, court fees, and anything else they tacked on. And even though it was for July, they have added August and won't settle for anything else. This is the only way at this time to stop the eviction.

My full goal is $10,000 because raising more than the past-due rent will help me carry my family through the next few months while I keep looking for work, secure transportation, and build my business. I do have a plan; I just need some help right now.

I know God did not bring me this far to let me fall. "And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19). I am holding onto that Scripture with everything in me.

If you are able to sow into my family during this season, I receive it with the most grateful heart. If you are not able to give, your prayers carry just as much weight, and I am asking you to please share this post so it reaches someone who can. Every dollar, every share, and every prayer matters more than you will ever know.

Thank you for loving my family through this. I will never forget it. Most importantly, neither will God!

Thank you so much.

With Love,

Kemi
