TO FREEDOM

Things when bad: kids and children are involved!

Hi everyone! As you may know I’m a full time caregiver for my brother and that prevents me from working outside the home on a consistent basis. My brother receives disability but that unfortunately only covers 1/3 of our rent which leaves the rest of our household expenses such as food, utilities, internet service in my lap. Fortunately, I am able to babysit but the hours are inconsistent and recently the clients that I’ve come to depend on have been hit with their own financial struggles which leaves me in the lurch. Money is a huge source of anxiety for me as my bills are piling up faster than I am able to manage on my own. We have very little family to depend on or borrow from and even though that’s been the case for years, it’s even harder now with rising costs. We are hoping to take part in a program that would pay me to take care of my brother but we need a referral from my brothers doctor and the cost to travel to his appointment is mire than I am able to save on a weekly basis after groceries. Right now, my phone is turned off and I would like to switch providers but I would lose my number if I tried without service and I’d run the risk of delaying an already drawn out process with social services.

I’m thankful to all of you who have donated with times being as difficult as they are because I know my situation is not unique and I’m continuing my quest for reliable employment in the meantime but I want to try and get a few things paid off & prepare for the month ahead.

My goal is $1,200.

This would cover the final half of this month’s rent, our phones + internet, our pepco bill & to purchase menstrual supplies. I feel ashamed for asking because I wish I could handle it myself but I’ve exhausted all other options and the mental load has been whooping me lately. It feels as though we’re being priced out of life and it terrifies me. The fear of us losing our place keeps me up at night and as soon as our rent is paid off it’s time to pay again. It took years for us to receive what little government assistance we have just for me to now, not be able to work and make ends meet. We make a little progress and we get introduced to possible program just to get delayed smh! I’m grateful that we’ve made it thus far but I am stressed😭

Thank you for reading! pls share if you feel called to & give only if you can spare it. I appreciate it so much & pray its returned to you tenfold!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

😭 Hi you all, would any of you be able to help me with this first half of my rent payment? One of the families I babysit for informed me that cannot pay me until later this month & I had to spend a bit extra on groceries which has left me short 😖 I would tremendously appreciate it I just want to be over this hump. Thank you so much in advance 🩷🩷🩷
