About this fundraiser

2025 was such a challenge for me as a single woman at the age of 51. It all began when  I came back to stay with a dear friend who had stage 4 lung cancer. I assured him that I would stand by him and care for him. Then in October  he eventually passed. Mentally it took a toll on me. Remind you I was not paid to care for this man cause the V.A. never approved it. I gave a promise to stay and I did. So weeks later I had to move due to the home basically wasn't mine and he still owed on the home. I had to find a job and a new rental that was cheap and immediately. Stress of that and no financial income soon led me to being with little left after moving. While moving I had an accident and broke my left arm /wrist. Worse timing and not to mention car needs maintenance at this point too. I was overwhelmed and unable to control my emotions…now what was I going to do? I have sold two of my emotional support ferrets and it was the worse decision  now that I look back at the sorrow I still feel. Mentally broken led the holidays to give me further depressive days and slowly I had to fight to get  help. Here I am broke and paid all I could and I desperately  need help. I ask God to save me and my last emotional support ferret from being homeless and to simply keep my car going and insurance and to pay my basic bills till I go to work. I have called resources that others have referred me to but no one is funding right now so shortly after the holidays. Please I have an interview on the 6th of January. I cannot make it alone now that I am late on this month's rent  i still owe car insurance and need brakes and front end alignment and few smaller bills. Can anyone please help me so that im not losi g the car and sleeping on the streets . Never have I been so humbled and afraid. May God bless you who takes time to read this. Its a dark place mentally and any help would bring me a relief that im so desperately needing.
