Hello,
I am a working mom who has suffered a few recent hardships that has caused me to seriously struggle to stay afloat, so much so, that I wasn’t sure what category to put this in. I work full time and am the mother of a teenager who I have taking care of alone for 15 years. Here’s my situation.
My kiddo’s father requested a modification to an already low child support payment (he pays $400 a month when he’s working and he is $20k in arrears). I have paid $2,500 in lawyer fees for this ongoing court case thus far.
I have a vehicle that I financed 2 years ago to get back and forth to work that needs $3,000 in repairs.
My father is also currently in the hospital after heart surgery and I’m not sure how we are going to cover his medical expenses beyond his insurance.
I have student loans and a couple of maxed out credit cards, but between the cost of living, groceries, legal fees, medical bills, my car payment… the recent hardships have turned out to be more than I can handle at the moment.
I truly do not want to be in a position to have to ask strangers on the internet for help, but I’m exhausting every option I can to make ends meet as I have more bills/expenses than paycheck at the moment. It won’t be this way forever, I’m a responsible adult, but I do need assistance right now.
Once I am back on my feet, my goal is to come here and donate to someone else. It’s just as important to me to be able to be in a position to give again as it is to receive. Thank you for your time.
