Good morning, afternoon, evening. I pray everyone is happy, healthy and . Thank you for taking the time to read this, even if that is all you do, a listening ear is sometimes the biggest help of all. My name is Shantaye, I am a 34 year old single mother to the most amazing 8 year old little girl named Kianna. I have worked at Arbys since October 2019. I drive a mini van although I call it a boat and my daughter named her Becky. The breaks were going bad and I didn’t have the money to put it in the shop or anyone to do it for me. But I had to get to work and my baby had to go to school. I only drove it to work, school, and the laundromat. Naturally, things got worse and I had to park it. I now needed roters as well. For two weeks I had to take Uber to get back and for to work and Kianna’s school. Neither place is far from where we live however it cost me about 40 bucks a day there and back. Finally found someone to help me fix my van and we are back on the road. However, I got behind on my rent. School is out, and Kianna goes to Coalition for Kids during the day(They are an absolute Godsend). During the school year it is free but in the summer it costs 60 a month. My lease renews every May and this year my rent increased. I am struggling to keep up and because I am behind on my rent it seems impossible. I make enough to make it work as long as everything goes accordingly However those two weeks without my vehicle at the same time as the increase in rent and the extra expense for the summer put me in a spot. I am too far behind to catch up and the late fees are increasing. My property manager is amazing and super nice but the owners are getting ready to take me to court to proceed with an eviction and the lawyer fees associated with that are beyond my monthly income. There is no way I could even fathom being able to come up with the required amount to stop that process. I am by no means and I am not asking for anyone to like pay my bills for me. I honestly enjoy working and being able to provide for myself and my daughter. I have her and she has me. If we get evicted we have nowhere to go and we have worked so hard to get here. When I say we I mean her also. She has always been so strong and helpful and more understanding than I could have ever hoped for. I just want her to enjoy her life as a child while she can and have fun. I just want to be able to continue to watch her grow and have fun. I just want her to be grounded and to be able establish some good relationships and have the opportunity to make a friend or two that she can keep throughout her life. When I was in fostercare I met so many people and moved around so much from VA to CO to TN. It made me very versatile and broad hearted I believe but I don’t have any friends from back when. My daughter is my best friend and the oldest friend I have. I want my baby to have the consistency and the roots I didn’t. She has planted her own roots and made great friends in children and adults at her school and coalition and our neighborhood. She is so bubbly and sweet. I wish the whole world knew her. She really is something special. I am completely overwhelmed with joy that I got the privilege to be her Mommy. I’m sorry I turned this into a man I love my baby speech.. I just need help getting caught up so we can stay. I am eternally grateful for any and every bit of help no matter how big or small. Thank you so much for your time and May God pour down his blessings on you and yours. Thank you
