About this fundraiser

My name is Alecia Brummet I am a 34 year old from Illinois. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, or crying or being too dramatic, long story short, my life has never really been easy for me...when i was a teenager I turned to drugs to help me deal with past traumas, and pain, i started when i was 13, ive done everything there is to do, i hit my rock bottom, more then once, was homeless, addicted, lost everything that meant anything to me, from custody of all five of my children, to every single personal item, i felt like nothing. I had lost it all. I wanted to give up, I had so much hate, guilt, ashamed feelings of myself, hate, heartache, I felt like a failure, it took me findinbmy relationship with God, being baptized, going to rehab for 90 days, went to a halfway house, briefly to establish a job and money, I was able to get my first place in my name!!i was so happy and proud of myself, it was like god was really giving me another shot at a life better then I thought possible for myself. Gave me hope anyways, I have been clean and sober for 4 years and 4 months! The longest I've ever been clean!!

Everything was going good, maintaining my sobriety, I get visits with my children at my mom's house who adopted me when I was a very little baby, she adopted two of my kids but three live with her..going to work, church, my meetings, 5 weeks ago I lost my job.i got handed a 5 day notice to pay, or leave. I own the trailer I live in, but it's on private property and can't be moved..so legally they can make me move, and I have nowhere to go, I have no family, I don't have friends, this is the first time I've ever done something like this, I have worked so hard and I've came so far, i don't want to lose it all, I can't go back to the streets around the drugs, losing all my stuff again will devestate me, and I've had two guinea pigs for the past three years who are my world..if i get made to leave I'm goih to lose them also, the thought of all of this is beyond terrifying, depressing, overwhelming, and defeating..i know none of you know me, personally or anything, i pray that maybe u can sense or just feel my genuinity, urgentness, my honesty, and someone out there will find it in there hearts to please please help me.my lot rent is 596, i have a hundred dollars, anything at all will mean everything to me.i will be so grateful and appreciative.

Thank you guys for at least taking the time to read this, I hope it wasn't to all over the place.
