Hi, my name is Courtney. I have been a teacher for the past 10 years. My passion is teaching to impact my students and to enlighten them on the power of education. Unfortunately, I lost my job due my employer losing contracts from schools being consolidate. So, she had to let some of us go. My heart was broken because I had to say goodbye to my students as they went to other schools. I enjoyed what I did. I’ll buy my student’s snacks, food, clothes, shoes, gifts for certain occasions (birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day). I loved my job as an educator, and I loved all my students. I would buy their project materials and school supplies. To have a successful classroom, the students need to be in a loving environment.
Unfortunately, I had not been able to land a job in the past 4 month. Bills have been piling up and I am not able to pay to keep a roof over my children’s head. As a divorced, single mom of 4, I’d adopted another teen girl as my own in 2018. However, in 2022, my daughter I adopted died from domestic violence. 76-year-old man sentenced to 25 years in prison for murder of woman at Jackson motel (wapt.com) I wasn’t able to grieve because at that same time, I was battling the spirit of suicide from my students. I was teaching 8th grade. I had students calling and emailing, telling me they needed me because they didn’t have anyone at the school to talk and they trusted no one. They wanted to end their life. God gave me a peace and strength like never before. I went back to work and that spirit was defeated. And when they all graduated, that’s when my grief came upon me. But because I had 4 more children to care for, I couldn’t allow myself to stay depressed. I gave to Jesus. I trusted and he brought me out.
Now, I am in need of financial assistance. I’ve tried seeking help from churches, family, and the church and family are in a financial bind. Department of Human Services and Resources, it’s a waiting list. I was told by my landlord that we must be out by the end of the month unless I come up with $3800. If there is anyone here that is reading this post, my prayer is that whatever you give, the Lord will give it back to you to where you won’t have room to obtain it all. Thank you for your generosity and your loving kindness to a complete stranger. May the Lord God bless you tremendously.
