I write to you today in the hopes of sharing my story and seeing if I can use this platform for support. I am a single mother, not only raising my own children, but I also took in my two young nephews in 2022 and now have permanent guardianship. Despite my best efforts, I am now facing one of the most difficult challenges of my life. I am being evicted from the home that I have fought so hard to maintain.
I have juggled multiple jobs, while navigating countless obstacles in an attempt to rebuild my life after periods of financial instability and personal hardship. Losing my home also means that I will have a judgment for my breaking my lease and an eviction. For 6 years I did not have a single late payment and thought I had finally found a place of stability.
I love my children—both with every ounce of my being. I took the step of adopting my nephews out of love and a deep sense of responsibility, choosing family over convenience and stability. My brother passed away and I am the only parent my nephews have. I did so to ensure that they would not experience the trauma of being separated and placed into a foster care system that is often not equipped to provide the love and consistency they need.
This plea is not just for me. I am so stressed and the weight I am carrying right now is felt throughout my entire home. As I have been using all my resources trying to “fix” this, I have felt God tugging at my heart and moving me to stop being so prideful and ask for help. If I can find a way to raise 5,000.00, it will keep a roof over our head and help me to escape eviction and simultaneously save my credit for future needs. If I can raise 10,000.00 that will catch up on my car payments and provide a deposit for a cheaper rental to help, ensure financial security.
Every day, I fight, and I am exhausted. Now, I am asking for a chance to continue that fight from a place of stability. I have faith that if this is meant to be, it will be. I have faith that if this doesn’t produce the results I desperately desire, God will see me through that journey also.
Thank you for your time. Please consider helping if you are able.
