I’m a single mother of 3 beautiful children. Life hasn’t been easy, but we do consider ourselves blessed. This year has been one of the hardest out of the 42 years I’ve been on this earth. I’ve survived divorces, I’ve survived domestic violence, I’ve survived job loss, hell I’ve survived so many things that I’ve lost my purpose. But losing my own mother unexpectedly in June has to be, hands down, the worst thing that I’ve survived. She was a nurse for over 30 years. She was my saving grace, my reason to do better, my rhythm to the reason, and my very best friend. She was Christmas, and Thanksgiving… She made the holidays so delightful, every single year. She cooked, and she blessed, and she gifted, and she loved on every single person in or out of the family. Nobody ever left her house hungry or without a gift!! She made the impossible happen every holiday season.
Now here I sit, trying to figure out how to pay my own bills after the loss (she has no death benefits) and trying to figure out how to keep her torch burning with the holidays coming up. I don’t know where to turn to, how to ask for help, and idk if I can ever pull this off. I’m a few days away from an eviction notice~ and my heart can’t believe that this is the end of my independence and my home. With no parents left, I’m on my own in the most serious way possible. Mom never supported me financially, but she gave me the courage to believe in myself and to believe that all things would work out. So, here I am… In my most vulnerable state, asking for help…. We desperately need rent money… I do work full time… But I’ve been back sliding ever since her death ~ trying to manage everything on my own for the both of us. I do believe that God has a big blessing in store for my little family…. It’s my faith in God that keeps me going… Maybe you are that blessing I’m waiting on?? Are you the answer to my prayers?? I know that no one has the power to fix everything for me right now…. Rent is my most immediate hurdle… And then I’ll tackle Thanksgiving and Christmas alone… But what’s the holidays without a home?? I’ve been homeless before, but never during the holidays or a time when I couldn’t call my mother for advice or for reassurance. So God laid it on my heart to turn to 2Hands to find some answers. If you can’t give, I understand… Please just keep us in your prayers… Because I know we aren’t the only ones that are suffering right now. There will always be power in prayer 🙏, and I’ll pray over you all the same. Please reach out if you know of any assistance that could help me. I work, so I don’t qualify for anything that the state, or a charity program has to offer.
And if no one tells you, let me be the first to say that I love you, and so does Jesus 💓 I pray that each and every family has a beautiful Thanksgiving and Christmas season in 2025! May all of your wishes come true!
P.S. Kiss your loved ones and tell them that you love them, even if they are a little annoying. Lol… You don’t know what could change over the next year, and that time is very precious 💕
