Greetings,
I am a mother of 3 who is struggling to recover from the financial hardship created by abandonment by my husband that I was married to for over 20 years. I never thought that I would have to live as a single mother, when I married a man and took vows to love and cherish, for better or worse. My husband abandoned our family by traveling to his country of origin and never returning as he said that he would. Along with abandoning us, he withdrew money from our joint bank account, intended for a down payment on a home. The money that he withdrew from our joint account was from my 401 K account that I cashed out, for the purposes of a down payment on a home for our family. The money from my 401 K was the only nest egg and how I wish that I had a nest egg at this moment, for rent, and utilities, which I am behind on. We held on to hope, thinking that he would return and do the right thing by contributing to household finances and pay back the money that he took from my 401 K cash out. He did not. Along with the financial devastation that he created, he has gone no contact. We have lost hope.
I work full time, recently lost my second job and am actively interviewing for another second job to pull myself out of the hole that is getting deeper. The second job helped make ends meet. It is nearly impossible for me to mange bills that come with the cost of living for rent, utilities, tuition, groceries, and gas to travel to and from work, without a second job. My car is also over 100,000 miles and I am not sure how long it will last. I know that I will find a second job, eventually. I am also seeking a higher paying primary job to make our situation better. However, I have arrived at the point where I need help to avoid eviction, and shut off of utilities. I am seeking a donation of $3,500.00 to resolve overdue rent and utilities. Please know that my family and I would greatly appreciate it, especially assistance with rent. Eviction would be devastating, as the apartment that we currently live in is a 5 minute walk to their school. With my work schedule, I am unable to drop them off, nor pick them up.
Please know that in addition to working a second job, I downsized to the apartment to reduce cost of living expenses. I also cut many items from my grocery list, conserve energy in the apartment to reduce the utility bills.
Please also know that I believe in helping others, and when I am again positioned to do so – I will pay it forward.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story to learn about me and my request. Please consider my request.
Best regards.
