Hi My name is Brittany I’m a parent of two . Bought a house 3 years ago right before the pandemic. Until The beginning of july 2021 I have worked for the same company Since october 2012. I started as a crew member and climbed up the ladder to a General Manager within 3 years. For 7 years I was responsible for my own store including 50+ employees. Within the 10 years working for this company I was able to build my credit ,buy a home and most importantly to provide for my family. After 10 years working in the same company I was let go, When the pandemic hit a lot changed in my home life and work . My children had to do remote school from home. I have someone watch my children so I would be able to go to work. After a couple months of remote learning they were not doing well with school.They were falling way behind almost falling. So I started to get more calls from home so they could ask me questions that they needed help with. I had to set a meeting with my boss to work something out with my schedule so I would be home on more school days. My store was struggling due to staffing because of the pandemic. So I was told I wasn’t able to change my schedule, I even asked to come in a couple hours later than usual so I can make sure children were set up for the day. A company that I worked for 10 years, wasn’t able to work something out so I can be there for my kids. That is when things started to become very stressful, while I was working my kids would call to get help with their school work which I started to get in trouble for being on my phone and being late a few times too. There were times I would have to pay someone to watch and help with their schooling. So sometimes I had to bring my daughter with me to work( I couldn’t always afford both every time.) She was 12 so besides making sure she had food and did her school work she stayed to herself like she was a customer sitting in the lobby. That’s why she came with me instead of my 10 year old son, she didn’t interrupt me when busy. The years that I have worked for this company I followed all the rules , I was having a very bad year I became very stressed and not able to focus on much. My children come first and their education is really important. My boss didn’t care and I was getting in trouble for it.One day I broke down while working and it was busy and I had an emotional breakdown. ( I have never been in that situation before) . I never felt that stressed before between my home life and work. My boss ended up moving me to a different location and I got demoted to a lower position because I lost focus and he felt that it was too stressful. My boss and i didnt get along very well , I was being reprimanded for being on my phone being late and one time I was suspended for 1 week because I was over an hour late . I put my children first and asked them to work something out. So now I’m at another store making less money still not being able to be home with kids during remote learning. I asked for some time off. I needed vacation time, then he denied the week I asked for. Crazy part that week I asked off was that I ended up being sick and had to call out for my shift. I called out 3 times in the 10 years of working there. I was told not to worry about it and then don’t worry about coming into any of my shifts. I couldn’t believe that happened. Just because of the pandemic and kids being on remote learning I lost everything. I applied for unemployment in July 2021. I’m still waiting for 3/22. 4 more months will be 1 year I’ve been waiting for. I’ve been working side jobs to try and make ends meet. Just isn’t enough to cover all my expenses. I’m struggling to pay bills and had to stop paying some of them which is killing my credit. My car broke down and I can’t afford to pay for repairs and car insurance. On top of all my bills My stove does not work, My heat furnace broken can’t afford a repair guy to fix trying to watch video see if i can do myself.And in one of my rooms the roof has a hole in it and ruin the carpet and my homeowners insurance won’t cover because it’s wear and tear. When buying My home the inspector said my roof was good for another 5 years .but now I have a room I can’t use , my bathroom tub leak down stairs it has ruined multi things, everything is happening all at once.I was going have my sister move in so we can split the bills she has 3 little girls and with the room having a hole in it I don’t have space now. We were going to share costs so we both can work towards paying our bills and other credit . I don’t have enough to fix these problems now I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m trying to get ahead. Haven’t Been able to buy clothes for my kids. They only have a couple things due to them growing out of them. I really need help . I have to have my roof done, the bedroom repaired ,bathroom , the furnace fixed, and replace my fridge and stove. I don’t get how within the last 2 weeks everything broke, im having bad luck cant believe how hard its been .Once I’m able to repair these things and my sister is able to move in. I will be able to get an overnight job and with one job pay bills and start paying off the debt I accumulated since I was fired. I don’t know what I’m supposed to say or how to ask. But I’ve never needed as much help as I do right now. I appreciate any help
I can get and when I get back on my feet I will pay it https://paypal.me/bhlynn89
