Hi everyone

My name is Amanda. I have a toddler son who’s been with me on this wild ride of homelessness. I didn’t intend on living our lives this way, but the cards we’ve been dealt has led us here in this ugly cycle. I come from an unsupportive family in Detroit. This is my second time out in Arizona, but this time as a mommy. 
It‘s really hard navigating through this journey with little to no help. Every single day is a fight for survival. I’ve donated plasma so many times I’ve lost count. I’ve been job searching endlessly. It’s tough finding work that’ll accommodate a single parent. I have moved so many places it’s mind boggling. I am currently in a hotel, but before that I’ve lived with random people. If you know anything about staying with people it‘a usually short-lived. 

I’ve faced trauma after trauma and I just want it to end already. I don’t want to keep fighting to live. I’m doing everything in my power to keep my child and I going. I’d appreciate your support.
