My name is Gladys uwajimgba, I am a single mom of two kids (one with special needs). I have a full time job but I live paycheck to paycheck and due to the growing needs of my child with special needs it’s difficult to meet up with my bills.
these made me to use the money given to me by the government for his therapy sessions for essentials ($25,000.00)twenty five thousand dollars. I have already spent sixteen thousand from it, two months ago I had a bug infestation which made me to dispose my furniture’s and mattresses and because it, I had to buy new ones(I usually buy my furniture at thrift store too) My son is 12 years old but he is bigger than his age so i have to visit the thrift store every two weeks(he out grows them or rip them at the end). I have to change his mattress every two or three months(he rips the cover and brings out the form to play with).
It’s been tough I am not going to lie I barely have enough for grocery after paying my bills so I visit the food bank, sometimes I go to bed hungry just so my kids can have enough to eat and I am not complaining but I feel depressed knowing that my son can’t go for his therapy because i used part of it and that’s why I am humbly requesting for your financial assistance. Right now I don’t even have a dining table (in one of his melt down, he destroyed my dinning chairs) so we just sit on the couch to eat. I live in a two bedroom apartment(I have been on the waiting list for a subsidized apartment because my kids are a boy and girl, for 7 years now and still nothing, I do call from time to time.) and he has a room( that I am always cleaning) while I share a room with my daughter.
Kids will go back to school next month and these has been giving me sleepless nights Because most of he’s clothes wont fit (I have to visit the thrift store) Those simple things that people need for everyday living is like luxury for me and my kids. I will forever be grateful if my son can continue his therapy.
