Dear Kind Souls,
Life can sometimes throw us curveballs that feel impossible to catch. For my three children and me, we’ve weathered many storms, always holding onto the dream of having a stable home again. After what felt like an eternity of obstacles, we finally achieved that dream three short months ago. The joy of moving into our own space, a place where my children could truly feel secure, was immense.
However, our newfound stability has been unexpectedly shattered. Our roommate suddenly became unable to uphold their part of the lease, leaving me, a single mother, to shoulder double the rent. We fell behind, and the weight of that financial burden was heavy. I worked tirelessly, sacrificing and scraping, and just managed to pay the accumulated back rent and the hefty $450 in late fees. For a brief moment, I felt a wave of relief and even dared to dream of replacing the car that broke down the very month we moved in.
But fate had another cruel twist in store. As I went to pay our current rent, I discovered my bank account had been completely emptied by an unknown party. Every single dollar was gone. Now, I’m left waiting for an investigation, unable to access any funds.
My world has crumbled. My landlord has issued a dreaded notice: pay or quit. The deadline looms, and I have no way to meet it. We have no car, nowhere else to go, and no family to turn to. The tears have been endless, the despair overwhelming.
A friend suggested I reach out here, and with a heavy heart, I am doing just that. It goes against every fiber of my being to ask for help from strangers. I’ve always prided myself on my independence and ability to handle things on my own. But now, I must swallow my pride and think of my children.
I am praying that someone, somewhere, might find it in their heart to help us. Your kindness could mean the difference between my family staying together in our home and facing eviction onto the streets with nothing and no one.
I would be eternally grateful for any support you could offer. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your compassion, in any form, is deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,
A Mother in Need
