To whom this may concern :
my name is Salty. I’m 41. I’m a very strong , resilient mother of 2 . Grandma ( GG) of 1 , almost 2, any day now . I live in a camper , Alone w my 2 dogs DraYco and Ruger, in my mothers yard. I moved out of my mothers house to allow room for my children and granddaughter. Let’s start from the beginning tho . My husband and I divorced in 2016. He was very abusive and controlled everything I did . He would not allow me to work . Or do anything really besides tend to our family . I finally decided that I couldn’t let my girls see anymore abuse . I walked 2 miles w two babies 1 and 2 in the middle of the night to a neighbors house , bleeding from eyes and ears from the beating , and I called 911. The cops took my husband to jail and everything changed from that point on . I applied for food stamps … my husband cut off child support. Saying that if I needed government assistance then I should get what I could . Well, I had to move in w my grandparents and get a job . Where I live the housing is very expensive. I couldn’t save 1500$ for a down payment w a $800 a month daycare. Food , and car insurance . So , I went back to school . Had the highest grade in my class and the day I graduated… I found out I had stage 4 colon cancer . And my grandmother kicked me out but kept my children . So then I had to fight cancer , alone , homeless , while fighting for my children . After surgery , it took 6 months to get back to work . As a waitress. The cancer came back 4 times . Creating an addiction to pain pills . To just keep going . I fought this battle w cancer and my grandma for 8 long years . Giving her all my rights to my children just bc I could keep spending everything on lawyers . Still homeless . Still alone . Well eventually my mom said I could come stay w her when my children ran away and we ran for 2 years . It was more like a plead to bring the girls home . So I did . Somehow I found a camper for free. And had big plans on traveling the country ! Lol never giving up on having a real home of own one day . Well fast forward, I’ve been clean 7 years . Cancer free for 5. And now my camper is full of black mold and falling apart . I’ve never had credit cards or anything credit related so I can’t even purchase a newer camper on credit . I’m so tired of being in this desolate situation . My family has been just evil and going as far as putting nair in my shampoo. (Lost my hair due to cancer) but it wouldn’t grow back and I finally found out why . Well I don’t know why they did that and other things but I get up everyday . And try to hold on and push forwards . I’m so over it tho . How much can one person actually take ? I just need a boost . A lift up . I’m an artist . And I’ve never asked for a hand out before in my life ! But I need to do something drastic and soon . For my health , and my grands future. Please help me .
