Thank you for reading my donation request, I’m a single mom 10 years ago with my 2 year old son, we got away from his father that physically and mentally hurt us. I finally was saved by the new town I ended up in Jefferson, NC. I always tell people, the town saved me, and “A Safe Home: hid me. I started waitressing at Boondocks and cleaning with a friend. Once on my own, I worked for a car, and got my North Carolina license to sell Health and Life insurance. My goal was to purchase a home for me and my son. For the next years I worked every weekend cleaning toilets in Boone, Seven Devils and Ashe County while I studied and started a Career selling Insurance. I found out that knowing Spanish was a big need in my area. I drive all over North Carolina enrolling Employees and assisting in Disability, Accident, Cancer and Life Insurance. I have never been happier in my entire life than I am now. In May of 2021 that month I had saved and worked to buy a house, and that same month I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, had a mastectomy the same week I closed on my home, I almost lost my deposits, but had Cancer insurance! I have gone through Chemotherapy and Radiation and have been working to keep my home and my family happy. Because of so much responsibility keeping my house up and the extra bills, I need more income, so I have completed a Real Estate course and am taking my test next month. I am 2 months behind in my Mortgage payment of $1200, and desperately need a cavity fixed and owe my dentist $5500 before I can get that fixed. I am working, but this would really help me not lose my home and I also have a big yard and love to save birds. I have 2 hens, 1 turkey, 4 ducks and 6 roosters! Thank you for your time. Respectfully, Elaine Ruiz. Paypal.me/elainemicel.
