I am a 24 year old single mother to a gorgeous 3 year old little
boy. I was beat while i was pregnant with him and did my best to
get on my feet and provide a stable environment. With no help from
the "father" it's been very difficult. My family died when i was
younger, so being a first time mother with no help has been very
trying. I cherish my life, my son and my health. But unfortunately
I cant seem to stay on my feet regardless of my attempts. I'm not
one to ask for help unless im in a desperate situation. I've worked
for everything i have and i believe thats how it should be. Due to
no child support and not being able to find a job at the moment, i
will be facing homelessness, where unfortunately they may take my
child from me as i wont have a stable living environment for him.
It breaks my heart, and thats why im here. I need to come up with
money for first and last months rent for October because my current
roommate is facing mental health challenges and is entering
rehabilitation. I've contacted low income housing, assistance and
shelters. They all have at least a 3 month waiting list. If i were
to receive help i would pay it forward when i become stable. I
start College in January to become an addictions counselor and i
believe in helping others. I've had a very difficult life, many bad
things have happened to me. I am trying my best to give my son a
better life than i had. It's not in my character to ask for help,
but im fearful i may lose my son if i cannot come up with money for
a stable living environment. I do not party, i dont smoke or drink.
I'm very responsible and havent actually asked for help before.
This wish is made with a guilty conscience as i believe in working
for everything but i have no options left. Thank you for reading,
take care.
