Hello, I am a single mother of 3 boys. Back in 2015, I had to run for my life when the father of my children threatened to kill me. Since then, I’ve had some ups and downs. For the most part, I have been good. I was able to quit my 9-5 back in 2020 and fully run my consulting business. I was able to provide for my children and I. Living in FL was tough, paying high rent to stay in a good neighborhood was okay for me. Until recently, I relocated to GA to be able to escape the cost of high rent. The home we have is pretty nice in a really good neighborhood. Since I’ve gotten here my business has taken a huge dip with the economy and money drastically slowed down. I found different avenues to make money but my bills keep building up. For the first time in years, I’ve found myself in a situation that I dreaded the most. Not being able to pay my bills. My credit cards took a toll because I had to use them when my business slowed down to keep us afloat. Jobs are not privy to people like me because my time is very limited. Being that I am the only adult I have to make sure kids get dropped off and picked up from school.
I’ve been looking for some work-from-home jobs but no luck as of yet. I’m afraid that my children and I are going to be on the street if I don’t get caught up quickly. There are no funding programs out there to help. I am a true believer that I will be in a better position in a few months but the problem is waiting. I don’t think I have time to get there. I’ve asked around and everyone has their own problems. The funny thing is, I was the one everyone called when they needed help. Now, I’m the one who needs help and no one can help me. Sucks for real!! I cry myself to sleep most nights because all I want is to be able to take care of my children and live a good life. I want to believe that I deserve a good life but sometimes life happens. I pray special blessings to anyone who sows into my children and my lives.
God bless you all.
