Hi there, my name is Jennifer and I am a mama of 5 BEAUTIFUL babes. I first want to mention that if you are unable to help financially that maybe you can say a little prayer for my family. This year has been particularly rough for us. I feel as if I am drowning. I make sure my kiddos don’t see me falling and dang that is hard. To put on a face every day pretending as if nothing is wrong is very tiring and not to mention HARD! But I do what I have to do for my babies. With that being said me asking for any kind of help is a huge leap for me as I always have the “I got this” and “I can do it myself” attitude. I never want to burden people with my problems yet, here I am. I finally reached a point where I have no choice but to ask for help. It’s not that I am to “good” to ask for help, it’s the fact that I don’t want to burden others with my problems as mentioned above. I use to work as a medical assistant at Kaiser Permanente and I guess you can say I had my ish together. Lol Right now in life I feel like I am dropping every ball, I feel like the world is falling apart in front of me and that I am letting my babies down. I try so hard every day yet I feel like I am getting nowhere. I have no family to lean on, no money to pay bills and can’t afford child care. The issue is when I tried to work not only one job but two, I can’t be there when my kids get home from school and they are to young to be home by themselves. And for the younger ones not in school I can’t make it in time to pick them up from day care. The day care I can’t afford. I couldn’t get help from the state because I “made to much” yet every single check went to childcare and we were lucky if I had enough gas left over to make it to work for a week. Figuring out how I’m going to put food on the table is frightening. So here I am, watching my babies sleep… stressing… unsure how I’m going to pay rent in a week. I’ve maxed out my resources for rental assistance, I have a 5 day shut off notice for my power and my fridge is empty. Five mouths to feed is a lot. I want nothing more then to give my babies what they deserve. They didn’t ask to be here, i brought them in this world, so it is my job to give them the life they deserve. I want to take them on a trip! I want to have enough gas in the car, the car that is missing the drivers side window to get ice cream! There is just one thing after another that seems to happen and I feel like I’m sinking mentally into a place I don’t want to go. It’s hard enough to raise 5 littles into good human beings, I don’t think I can do it being depressed. Please help. I am on my hands and knees begging to please help. I need help with rent which is $1,550, my electric bill which is $550, I need a new window for my car which is quoted at $275!!! And maybe enough funds to put food in my fridge and to take my kids somewhere fun for a weekend. I know this is a HUGE ask. I promise some day I will pay it forward. I wish more then anything I was on the other end of this. I have a huge heart and would give the shirt off my back for someone. Like mentioned above, if you are unable to help can you at least send a little prayer our way? I appreciate anyone who took the time to read my novel :) whether it be a prayer or financially I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you 💜 @JenniferRardin835
