I am not exactly convinced that this is going to work out so well in my favor but, here goes nothing any way. My name is Kristen. I am a single mom to 2 sweet boys that are ages 7 and 10. They are my entire reason for existing. I would do anything for them. Currently I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I am trying to keep up with everything on my own, while also trying to make sure I get time to spend with my boys. I had to be out of work with my youngest son because he was sick and things went down hill after that. Now I feel like I am drowning and things are getting away from me. I need a new house, I don’t think the one we are currently in is very safe or healthy for us to be in. My car registration and inspection are due, and My car also needs the brakes changed. To make matters worse, it is now summertime and supposed to be one of the hottest summers on record, and my AC does not work and I am not a fan of being hot to start with, but with no relief from the heat nobody in the household is happy. I tried to fix it myself but the compressor won’t kick on at all. I can’t afford to fix that. I can’t afford anything anymore. My power bill is past due, I am also trying to go back to school right now so that I can better our situation but that of couese is going to take a little time. I have not been able to find anything for rent that is in better shape than where we are right now, but there is absolutely nothing that I can afford. I had been working on my credit score so that I could get it where it needs to be to buy a house. I got really close right before this all started, but now my credit score has gone back down the drain, mainly becuase I am having to stretch and over use my credit cards to be able to get gas and a few groceries–in other words just to survive. I always pay things on time, its medical bills that hurt my credit score to start with. That combined with the percentage of credit I am using, is making homeownership and getting my var fixed out of my reach, I know that my boys deserve better, and I want to give them better. I would greatly appreciate anything you can spare to help us out. Thank you in advance for your kindness!! God bless you!!
