Hi my name is Bri. I’m a single mom of two young girls. Julie is 7 and Jemma is about to turn 6 soon.
We live in subsidized apartments that constantly have the sheriff department here (not because of me). I’ve seen people get arrested for domestic abuse, dogs fighting, neighbors fighting (which I’ve recorded and sent to the front office and they did nothing). One neighbor threw a chair from the second floor balcony to hit another person. Then one person threw a glass liqueur bottle down and it shattered all over the sidewalk. Then there’s loud music at all times of day and night. The plethora of complaints never end. But the worst part is a 7 year old boy drowned in the pond this past summer.
I don’t feel safe there. And I’ve contacted Habitat for Humanity but they don’t have anything for me and my situation right now unfortunately.
I want better for my girls. We drive an hour away so I can take them to a better school in the nicer area.
and I work about 30-45 minutes from our apartment. I work 6 days a week most weeks. I love my job though and I am blessed to have what I have and I’m on my fourth year there. I work with pregnant women, babies and families. I also work with the pregnancy crisis center to help mentor women to choose life for their baby and give them resources and support.
Daily drive time is about 2.5 hours.
I found a safer, nicer apartment that is only 2 miles from my work and it also has another grade A school for the girls.
I went through my financials and proposed this to my boss. He said if I can get into the apartment and figure it out then he will grant me the extra monies difference for the rent. It’ll be life changing! Instead of driving 2.5 hours a day it’ll get cut down to 30 minutes. And it’s safer. Which is most important.
The only thing is I will need $5,000 to move. The deposit is $2,275. And then first months rent is $2,275. And the other monies is for the moving truck.
Even in subsidized housing, it’s not that much cheaper than where I’m trying to move. But it’s the world difference!
I’ve already cut a lot of unnecessary spending off and sold some things but I’ll never have the money to move soon without help. I don’t feel safe where we currently are and I would be in humble tears if someone could help us.
Thank you for taking the time to read this far. My girls have seen the other apartment complex and ask me about it every other hour. They want to move very much.
Again, thank you.
I made a post earlier but forgot to put my paypal. Please and thank you!
