My journey over the last few years has been one of extreme highs and lows. Not long ago, I faced the reality of homelessness after my husband left me for another woman in the midst of my deepest struggles. Despite that heartbreak and instability, I didn’t give up. I worked tirelessly to build a consistent job history, eventually meeting the requirements to secure affordable housing—a milestone that felt like the beginning of a new life.
However, shortly after being housed while living at a homeless for 2 years plus the unthinkable happened. I was the victim of a violent home intrusion. I was injured during the incident, and the physical and emotional trauma stripped away my ability to work. In an instant, the stability I worked so hard for was at risk.
Where I am now:
Because of my recovery time, I have fallen behind on rent and utilities for the next two months. While I am healing and have several promising job opportunities lined up, the financial gap created by this injury has left me vulnerable during the holiday season.
My ask:
I am looking for a bridge to get me through these next two months so I do not lose the home I fought so hard to get. Your donations will go directly toward:
- Past due and upcoming rent. 3480.00
- Essential utility bills (electricity/water). 225.00
- Basic living expenses while I transition back into the workforce. 300.00
- My total funding at this time is 4005.00.
I have proven that I can work hard and build a life from nothing. I just need a little help to keep from falling back into the cycle of homelessness. Any amount, or even just sharing my story, means more than I can put into words.
Thank you for your kindness and for seeing me through this storm.
