Hello,
My mother always said, if your 15 minutes early your on time. If your on time your late. She raised me to be independent. I have worked my whole life and supported myself. Recently within the last 2 yrs. I had to sell my home and leave my life of 30yrs. I tried everything I knew, to keep from having to leave. Nope, that option was not in my cards. I moved 5 states away and stayed with my uncle and aunt until I could get on my feet. I didn’t know anyone. It was scary, but I was positive about this new start. However in May of 2025, I lost my brother. He was the last family member from my immediate family. I am the last family member. Then I turn in the gap to see my son with his family. I always thought, I’ll be the Gigi, and every Sunday the kids will come over for dinner and enjoy my fam. That is not where I stand today.
While 5 states away, not knowing anyone. I got a job, an apartment, and was starting to love my little life. I was in the process of transitioning to a new and better job opportunity when my brother passed. So, I flew home, to unexpected conditions that left him on life support, and having to make a decision that no one wants to make. Already out of work, waiting on new job, bills, cost of living, etc….i started falling behind. I thought, this is not supposed to happen. And suddenly a relationship formed. It brought a spark of hope that things were going to turn around. Until I asked for help, and found myself having to move out of my apartment. With nowhere to go, I had to make a choice, and stayed with my new found Beau. While trusting him to help me move and put my belongings in storage. Half of came u stolen. He refused to help me with storage. I just started new job, having to take time off causing me to loose that job. So now, I’m not working, not able to provide for myself, and my new beau turned out to not be my knight in shining armor. And then when I got shoved into the tub causing cracked ribs, I knew it was time to go. No time to pack ANYTHING. My whole life packed up and moved to 5 states away, to having to walk away from it all, car, furniture, pictures, animals, family heirlooms, tools, etc. in a frantic state of mind. I grabbed some clothes and a few toiletries, toothbrush, bar of soap, deodorant. And jumped on a greyhound and came back home. No one knew anything. Until I made a phone call and asked to be picked up from bus station.
That was on November 18th. I have cried and cried til I couldn’t cry anymore. I ask myself how could I allow myself to get to this point. What I have learned is, material items can be replaced, but life cannot. However, my heart hurts badly when I think about my animals. They depended on me. And I feel like I failed them. Or The ring that my son gave me the morning that I moved away. The small things in life have the biggest impact.
However, I keep telling myself it’s gonna be ok. But I now sit here with no way to go, no job, nowhere to live(I’ve been going from my kids on week to a friend the next week. I am fortunate to have my life. And that’s what I have to keep reminding myself.
However, the law of the land does not wait for man. This is the longest I’ve been without a job. I’m beside myself. I have a goal. I know what I want in my life. I have been knowing. Now that I am with a bare foundation, It can be built with solidarity. And what I want to do, I know I can do it. I need help.
I’ve never been in a situation where I need help like I do today. It is a very humbling experience. What I would like to accomplish, is to have my own cake business. And have done cakes under someone else. I have always helped other where and when I could. However, this time I want to help myself. And I cannot do it alone.
I need help with getting reliable way to go which would consist of $20,000. And living quarters to have stability.
I am at the mercy of someone else’s hand. And would be forever grateful for someone to reach out and say, I believe in you! I want to help. That’s what anyone would want to hear, I think.
With closing in my request, I hope & pray the right person finds this. I don’t know how to go from this point. And need help, monetarily, to get back on my feet.
Thankyou for your donations. It will forever be told in my life story.
