I once was a very successful individual, who was able to not only support my household but also my extended family. However life happened, and since 2022 I have not been able to get my bearings. Since 2016, when I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I decided to become a Business Owner. I decided to become a Business Owner, because the job I was working at during that time didn’t in my opinion, care if I was sick they just wanted me to work. The situation was truly ironic because the company was a hospital. The same hospital that found the mass in my right breast. 2016-2017 was a bit of a blur, I went through chemo and surgeries for an entire year and I was able to soon move on with my life. CANCER FREE!!! In 2019, my husband at the time decided to move to Texas for better job opportunities. I wasn’t happy about the move, because I had finally found a job that I loved and that also paid me a sufficient salary. Although I was against the idea I still moved so that I could be a supportive wife. In 2020 I started one of my few business ideas that I had no idea would help me to become a success, KR Royal Services. A little about this business, I helped individuals with financial services. I made more money than I ever fathomed I could make, but after a couple of years, it died down. My business had crashed I was another statistic. After I realized there was no way for me to revive my business I decided to work outside of the home. It proved to be a great challenge for my husband and me to work and not have help with childcare, but somehow with the Grace of God, we did it. Well when I thought things couldn’t get worse, it did. My family and I were on our way to visit family in Louisiana, and we got into a horrible car crash that left my car totaled. Getting home was a rollercoaster. However, that isn’t even the worst part, my assignment for work had ended and my husband lost his job as soon as we went back home. We had no car, no jobs and we ended up losing our apartment. So we relocated and had to move with family. As if that wasn’t bad enough because we couldn’t see a Physical Therapist in a different state where the accident happened we no longer had a Lawyer. So out of the whole ordeal after the creditor and insurance company paid off the car in its entirety we only received $500 back. Something is better than nothing but that was definitely not enough to help my family to get back on our feet. I also deal with mental issues (bipolar, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, which I make sure I take meds for, which are paid for through Medicaid), and because of the way things have ended, I had multiple suicide attempts. I am unable to work any schedule because I don’t have money for childcare, my husband works a day/night alternating shift and all the help we were told we would receive isn’t there anymore. Everyone is just doing their own thing. Which is fine because the responsibility to watch our child is ours alone, but a little help would help us out a great deal. The strain of it all caused my husband and I to separate. We are now looking to get a divorce. I have since been able to get Food Stamps. But I have no assistance with housing the Section 8 applications have closed, but I still signed up to be waitlisted. I was told that once the application does open up my son and I could still be waiting for housing for years. So we are living in a very toxic environment which isn’t good for my toddler son or myself. I am so used to doing things on my own but I am finally realizing that I truly need support. My child’s welfare depends on it and my health depends on it as well. I feel that this is my final option I don’t know what else I’d be able to do after this. However, I am determined to find a way out of this for the sake of my precious baby boy, as well as myself because he deserves a happy and healthy mommy. So I am begging you if you can find it in your heart to help my son and me please do. Every little bit helps!
