Thank you for stopping by and reading it. I am a single mom of 5 years old beautiful little girl. I will not lie, it is hard to write this and I never thought I will have to.
Long story short. I had 20+ years career working for u.s. government contractors and non-profits, i have two graduate degrees….all these seems to be still not enough to re-build our life.
In 2018 I moved to Tunisia with my job working for international non-profit. Got married there, we had our daughter. When our daughter was just 2 months old my then husband started stealing money and valuables, sold my car etc. When my baby was just 2.5 years old he and his family took her from me and blocked me on all social media, phones etc. I didn’t know what happened with my baby for the long 2 months. I fought for her with all I had. Had to sell my house in the USA, lost my job at the same time. But I won. I was able to find a support in the foreign country. I got case to court. I won. I was able to leave Tunisia with my daughter and two suitcases. I left everything I had there, but i had my baby back.
We came back to USA in 2023. I built my career working for international non-profits and government contractors for over 20 years. I got a job with government contractor, we got our apartment, my daughter started day care. I was working 3 full time jobs, working my ass off, but we had everything we needed.
And then another disaster stricked. In January 2025 USAID, the main funding mechanism for international non-profits and contractors, was shutdown. Company i worked for depended fully on USAID funds, so they went bankrupt overnight. We were laid off in one day, no notice, no time to find footing.
I lost not only that job. On that day I lost 2 out of 3 jobs. Industry in general was heavily affected. But we were able to make it through 2025. I had 1 client left.
But since February 5, 2025 until today I still not able to secure more clients or a new job. I apply daily. I have amazing professional skill set. I know my stuff ….However out of all applications I sent out I had just 2 interviews … 2 one-way interviews were you have 2 min per question and speak with camera only… And trust me, I don’t just sit around and wait…. I apply for jobs, I look for the consultancy opportunities, I started my natural skincare brand, I offer energy healings….I try everything I can think of. I woke up with the thought how can I make extra money today and go to bad with this thought…. But I feel like I hit a wall ….It seems like nothing is working. And money from savings run out already….
And the scariest part. The Part I afraid to think of … I don’t know how to explain to my little girl we may lose this apartment, we may lose the life we had together, we may lose each other…. She is too small to understand adult problems. But truth is we are $70,000 in debt and my current income is less than $4,000. And either I’ll find this next job or few new clients or we will lose everything and become homeless….and that’s very scary especially when you are responsible for another person.
I truly don’t know how life will unfold, but I know God never abandon me before.
I am not even sure someone will read this …or will read to this point…but if someone will… I really want my daughter to have a fun, great summer, as other kids do… I need $1275.00 to send my girl to school’s day camp. This will cover 3 weeks of camp and will give me some room to keep applying and working on my business, while she is having fun and being a kid.
My big dream is to pay off my car loan of $20,000 and to have some money for the few months of rent, just to know we still have our home. We are safe.
My huge dream is to have our debt paid off, so we can get at least a small breezer and start rebuilding again from ground zero, not the -$70,000 ground.
If you stayed with me to this point Thank you!
If you chose to help us, may God bless you and everything you chose to help us with may come back to you multiplied x10
