Hi there,
This may sound incredibly cheesy but i’m genuinely writing this with tears in my eyes and an anxious heart as I have never been someone to ask for help. I’m truly at a loss for what to do. I tend to overthink and am afraid of coming across as ungrateful and would never take for granted any kind of help.
If you are someone who is generous enough to be looking to donate to someone in need, this is a brief of me, my story and where i’m currently at to be in the position that i’m in asking for a strangers help.
I’m 25 years old, (I feel awful to be in this kind of financial position at my age, especially given how easy it seems to be to make money online in our day and age but hopefully someone will understand.) I for the most part keep to myself and i’m a single Mother to a beautiful four year old boy who i’ve been blessed to have been raising (solely on my own following an abusive relationship with his Father). I’ve never had a substantial amount of money by any means but that’s always been okay with me; a roof over our heads is something I have been thankful for every day and although I’ve always felt that helping someone should not be something to announce, to give you an honest idea of the person I am, I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck and as long as my Son is taken care of, giving someone in need my last 50 dollars comes without a second thought. All i’ve ever wanted to do is to be able to give back and help. I’m unfortunately just really struggling right now.
To the point:
I recently put all that I had into a website that failed (not too smart on my end, I know). Because I wasn’t ever able to get a rental on my low income via “regular real estate”, and was always turned down for share houses having a young child, my only option was to search for a private landlord. I began renting the place that i’m about to be kicked out of going on 6 months ago. (she put us on a 6 month lease and never submitted the papers or did anything formally). Has changed the costs of living without prior notice and seemingly whenever she feels like it and it has been not only a headache but heartbreaking that she’s just been taking advantage and all I truly care about is looking after my Son and giving him somewhere stable to live. I have always made sure that he eats, etc. But she has just let me know that we need to be out in less than two weeks from today. As i’ve been living paycheck to paycheck I don’t have the money to arrange moving costs (even if it’s just a van) but more importantly the money to secure a bond for wherever it is that we go. I’m terrified and anxious. We don’t have family to stay with which I know would be so ideal. Absolutely anything, no matter how small, would mean more to me than I could even put into words and will hopefully give us some security. I know that so many people have it worse off but if you do decide to help, I can promise you I would have the kind of gratitude to where I will keep in touch (if this enables me to) and give back tenfold when i’m in the position to. If you do decide to help (cannot even fathom it) please write me and I will by all means express my gratitude without deadlines or limitations. Thank you.
