I worked very hard to get where I was in my career. I supported myself and my daughter, I never had to depend on anyone for anything.
On April 1, 2015, I was laid off along with thousands of other people, due to the economic downturn in Alberta. I applied for jobs for almost 4 years, with not so much as a call back. When the pandemic hit, there weren’t any jobs to apply for. I gave up all hope of furthering my career.
I lost my home that I owned, I lost my car, and eventually lost everything I worked so hard for.
I tried to shelter my daughter from what was going on in my life, but I know there were times I couldn’t keep it together. My situation has impacted her in ways I couldn’t even imagine. She started drinking and doing drugs at 14 years old. I didn’t even know until she was 16 and in a drug induced psychosis. She was admitted to the psych ward for a month. I neglected my daughter and was not there for her when she needed me most. I didn’t provide for her, I failed her.
The doctors and school counselor convinced my daughter that she would be better off away from me because I wasn’t able to provide any stability in her life. They successfully turned her and my family against me. I take full responsibility for not being the mom she deserved, but I did not do anything deliberately to hurt her. I was stuck in a depression that I am still suffering from.
The best times that my daughter and I shared were when I was driving. it didn’t matter where we were going or what we were doing, we listened to music, danced and sang. It was an escape for both of us and we were together. When I lost my car, I lost my sense of security. I drove my kid wherever she needed to go and i picked her up when she called, in the middle of the night many times. If she was late or I didn’t know where she was, I could go find her and bring her home. It is very hard to look for someone on the bus.
My daughter’s boyfriend introduced her to Fentanyl and took her to trap houses. I don’t want to lose my daughter.
I am lost in life, I don’t know what to do. I do know that I will never stop fighting
I am asking for help to pay off the astronomical amount of tickets I have accumulated, get my license again and get a vehicle that runs. I want my little girl back and I want to find happiness again. There are times that I have borrowed a friend’s vehicle and picked her up, her face lights up, she gets in and we drive, with not a care in the world, it’s just me and my kid, nothing else matters!!
I owe close to $20,000.00 in tickets, until I pay that, I can’t get my license. Please help us! My paypal link is
