“My mom once said, ‘If it wasn’t for bad luck, you’d have no luck at all. This phrase has echoed in my life, especially since the birth of my miracle child, whom I was told I’d never have. However, tragedy struck when my son died in a dangerous crib, a fact only acknowledged by the government weeks after his passing and amidst the isolation of COVID-19. Adding to the pain, my best friend, my rock in hard times, died in a car accident.
I struggled to process these events, battling gut- wrenching pain and bouts of near agoraphobia. Therapy became my refuge, helping me manage the overwhelming grief. The loss of my son was compounded by revelations about the crib’s dangers and the company’s negligence. Yet, when I sought legal justice, I was barred by the statute of limitations, deepening my guilt and distress.
Pre-COVID, I was on bed rest during my pregnancy, and then my employer was acquired, leading to my job loss postpartum. As an artist and designer, I invested in starting my own business, but this strained our finances. My husband, an electrician, took a long leave following our son’s death, further impacting our financial situation.
Our plight worsened when a friend, battling addiction, betrayed our trust, leaving us with significant financial losses and a mountain of unpaid toll violations. This situation has left us with a monthly financial burden of approximately $4,000.
We now face two immediate and critical financial deadlines: a storage unit bill of $1,300 due by the 9th, and a power bill of $1,800 due by the 11th. Failure to meet these payments will result in losing my storage unit, holding memories and investments over nine years, and having our power cut off in the winter.
In sharing my story, I am reaching out for assistance to navigate through these hardships. Your support would not only help in settling these urgent debts but also provide a foundation for stabilizing our lives and reviving my business, which was disrupted by life’s unforeseen adversities. I am deeply grateful for any help offered, as it would be a significant step towards regaining balance in our lives.
Thank you.
