I am a single mother of 3 young kids. My kids father is mentally and emotionally abusive. Very controlling in the matters of my life and uses pretending to want to be a dad as a way to keep tabs on my life even though he left me and the kids for a woman who had more money and no kids with him so he didn’t have to use the money to take care of family. He would offer to help us only if I do what he says and wants which includes me letting him have any kind of access to me ( financially and sexually) and my children ( seeing them when he wants which is not often for only an hour or so at a time) even though he will not commit to being apart of our family
I am exhausted, I take care of my three kids by myself every day doing every thing for each and every one of them. I am not able to get a job due to my youngest being 16 months and not able to find a daycare that has available spot for his age. We live in a house that has no running hot water, a majorly leaking roof, and infested with field mice. I believe in the lord and I do the very best I can to make sure that even with all this hardship my kids are taken care of and healthy. I make sure they go to school and appropriate doctor appointments and I feed them as healthy food as I can.
We need somewhere better to live that I may be able to be the best mother I know I can be without all the hindering aspects of living in a broke down house. I’m so stressed out about our living situation that I feel I can not be the attentive mother I would like to be. As I said I do make sure the priorities of being a good mother are done like getting them to school etc., but I would like to be more present and not always so stressed and worried.
Looking for a place with limited finances is hard, nobody has apartment or home available for my income. If I could just get a place that is up to par ( running hot water, no mice, no leaking roof) I feel my life and my kids life would be better because I could then work from home since I can not get my youngest into day care as I am a hairstylist
I’m here asking for monetary donations to possible help with finding better shelter or to help fix the shelter we have however to fix the shelter we have will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I am also open to any help on securing better shelter ( if any one has a home or know of a home they can let us stay in or rent to me at an affordable price for me). We are currently located in Northern California about 30 -45 mins from the Bay Area.
I am sure my story is a story that others may have as well but to me this problem I am having is big and heavy. I have always been the type to make things happen on my own but I have reached the end of my rope and must ask for help. I do not have any one around who can or is willing to help that I know personally which is why I came here. I pray the lord lets this touch the heart of some if not many to help my family out. All we need is a little help/ a little break from the hardships of life so that I may once again be able to provide for my family on my own. Thank you to any one that took the time to read and or donate. Please share my story to any one or anywhere that you think would get me some help. God bless
