About this fundraiser

I am a single father to 3 children, 5, 7 and 9. The mother of my children left us almost a year and a half ago. I have very limited resources when it comes family and friends to help with childcare and baby sitting etc. After she left I had to quit my full time job  and start doing things like Uber and DoorDash which allowed me flexibility to at least have some income coming in since I could not afford full time childcare to work full time. These jobs unfortunately do not pay much and offer no paid time off etc. I recently had to spend money on car repairs which caused me to miss work and of course cost money. That all combined is going to put me around $700 short for upcoming rent and utility bills. I have applied for government assistance and the process takes a lot longer than I anticipated and am at my last desperate hope for help.  
 

I know I am a stranger on the internet, reaching out to other strangers for help. And never in a million years would I have thought that I would be in this situation. I am 44 years old and have had a job since I was 14. I have always worked as hard as I can and provided for myself and my subsequent family. However again trying to raise 3 young children alone and provide for them with limited resources have brought me here. This money I am requesting help with is going directly to help cover my upcoming rent in a few days. I don’t know how these sites work but if possible I would gladly provide a way to prove that these funds are going directly to my landlord. 
 

Thank you to anyone who can assist me with this goal.
