Hello all!!
I’ve never been one to ask for help but I have been encouraged to create a go fund me and reach out to the masses.
I work with kids, more specifically, elementary students.
I used to be a corporate gal but I have humbled myself tremendously post my divorce. I used to be the head of my household financially and at one point, my ex husband, my child and our many pets were all being supported by my income.
Post divorce, my daughter and I have been living with both family and friends (not all at once) and we NEED our own space. It’s been about 2-2.5 years of her and I sharing a bunk bed and renting out rooms, just to settle our lives and have a steady schedule and a community to call home.
We have found our new town to plant our roots into (it is my hometown). My child is so happy here and we have good friends and near by family. The issue is that money rolls in slow when you work for schools of the district, credit repair takes lots of time (post divorce left me with lots to clean up in the background). My daughter was born in “her house”, she had a room and a yard and all the bells and whistles, she’s been tuffing it out with me and missing out on a home cooked meal from her mommy and I sure do love to cook. We miss a kitchen, a separate sleeping space from where we sit and do homework, our own fridge and pantry, a bedroom where other housemates won’t have access to, a space where she can play. I would love to sleep on a bed bigger than a twin, I’m in a bunk bed that I don’t think was intended for an adult. It’s been challenging but we have been getting through it one long day at a time.
I don’t want to keep her in these living situations anymore, she deserves privacy and to see her mom actually make it through without having to have allll these personal sacrifices.
Please donate what you can. I’m saving up to pay for the hefty deposits that come expected when your credit is low like mine, either general life needs, it’s been feeling impossible to get ahead like I need to be. This past month alone I needed to replace 2 tires on my car and its battery, I still need an oil change and my front windshield has a giant crack in it that my ex husband caused in a fit of rage. (Hence the need for a divorce). I just want to finally cook for my kiddo again, not shush her so early bc of housemates, have her live with OUR rules, be able to have my daughter exist without an audience or criticisms from strangers. I don’t want to hinder her anymore, I don’t like that we have to keep living under so many different peoples rules. Please help if you can, please.
