- Hi I’m a single father of 3 boys who’s just having a rough few years. Right now my son and I are currently homeless but, I’ll explain how we arrived in this position. Back during the beginning of Covid, my youngest son mom and me were not on good terms for some reason and decided to separate. She took my son and moved a hour away from me. So I decided to transfer my job to be closer to him and pick him up after school. I worked 3am to 3pm Monday -Friday. I had to drive a hour there and once off of work I picked my son up from school and helped with his homework until my older son got out of football practice. I was so tired from working all day and driving my sons to and from practice that I fell asleep at the wheel and recked at least 5 times with in a year but, I had to do what I had to do. With me damaging my truck all of those times I gained several points for missing work to get it fixed. Eventually I pointed out once my motor blew. While dealing with all of that my sister had a mental breakdown and was shot by Atlanta police department over 15 times July of last year. My mom was not mentally able to handle anything going on with my sister so, I had to. To be honest I feel like I’m pretty strong but this mentally, physically, and spiritually broke me down to my lowest. I wasn’t event able to be broken because my family expected me to handle everything, but to be honest I wouldn’t have it any other way. I had to approve her surgeries and visit her everyday to make sure everything was going smoothly. During this time I was living off of my credit cards to survive. Eventually I got further and further behind on my rent and applied for assistance but wasn’t granted the amount needed so I was evicted 3 days after losing my job. This happened at the beginning of August and I’ve been applying for jobs daily but, haven’t been having any luck. My son and I are living in my truck which has a bad motor and an expired tagged since my birthday just passed this month. I’m really trying not to break and I don’t usually ask for help but my sons are more important than my pride. Thank you in advance to anyone who helps. @tmartin870612
