this is a picture of me at work right now. My name is Sheena, and I need your help. As you can see, I’m wearing a scrub blouse, that’s because I work in homes caring for the elderly. This is the brightest smile i can give right now, because deep down I feel so lost, hurt and terrified of this situation. It almost feels like dejavu😞😞 💔💔. (Please, Help!)
I try to keep my head up at work while I support my patient, so I can spread positivity to them. Naturally, I love taking care of them. It is a pleasure for me to do so, because in giving, I am also receiving. Their wisdom is invaluable. I’ve received so much insight from them about life in general.
My job can be stressful at times, but I take pride in what I do, and make it enjoyable for myself and my patients/clients.
So the reason why am asking for assistance is because I have been falling behind on my rent. I have received two 3 days notices in the last two months because of not being able to pay my rent on time. I have never been in a situation like this before. I am that person who is always working – you could say I was a workaholic. But all this changed in April when I started having heart complications. I saw the doctor about it, and the results was that there were some abnormalities happening with my aorta and my aorta valves. Months before I was having chest pain every day, and what felt like a literal pain in my heart.
This has affected my ability to work as much as I used to. Along with a newly diagnosed heart condition, I suffer from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), Anxiety, Depression, which started a few years back after my ex-husband robbed me of all I had, and left me on the streets. It was a terrifying period! I had no money, lost my job because of housing instability (staying with different people). It was during this time that I endured domestic violence, sexual assault, assaulted and raped by a person I thought was my friend. We even went to the same church together. My mental health started to wane after this, I thought I was going to lose my mind. This happened a few years ago. And I have had to fight so hard to build my life up to a place where I could be comfortable. I was doing well for myself, even with a mental health issues that I was facing every day from the traumas.
It’s really pains me to be putting myself out here like this hoping that somebody will assist me in paying my rent for this month. As a person who will always self-sufficient I feel embarrassed doing this. But I hope you can see that I have no other choice, but to come on the platform as this and ask for help from any angels out there who care enough to help me to stay in my home. As I shared a bit of my backstory with you, I am shaking from the memory of all those terrible times in my life, I am afraid -and I don’t say that very often.
My heart issue has resulted in me, having to take less hours at work to keep from adding more stress to it. I’ve been warned by my doctor to refrain from doing a lot of laborious work. It has been very hard trying to find resources to assist me in covering my rent and bills. My community will not help unless I have been on the streets, homeless, for sometime. This just made my heart hurt more.
In the meantime while I look for other jobs, I can do, which are not as physically demanding. My rent is $1700. I need your help to meet this goal, for this monthy, while I work to make more money to get back on my feet.
**whatever you can donate will be very much appreciated. Or if you wish to pay this for me (picture of PAY NEAR ME PAYSLIP on how to do so is attached) I am praying you get this before I am thrown out from my home.
💟May God bless you and your family richly, and your business/job. Amen.
