Hello all. I never thought I’d be the one posting this but life has a way of reminding us that anything could happen to anyone. I was laid off from my job on 11/8 and I’ve been searching for another job non-stop ever since. I have 2 children ages 4 and 9 and I’m a single mom. I was able to use my 401k to cover the expenses for November but I have absolutely nothing left to cover this month’s expenses and the holidays. I’ve tried DoorDash, instacart and others but the amount of orders in my area are next to zero. I have a mortgage, car note, electricity bill, and of course, children needs. It completely breaks my heart hearing how excited they are for Christmas and seeing them fall asleep beside the tree hoping that Santa brings them gifts during the night. I have to maintain a smile and tell them “you’ll just have to wait” knowing I have NO clue how I’m gonna make Christmas happen this year, or anything else for that matter. On a positive note, I’ll be staring a new job on 1/27, so there’s something to be happy about. With that said, I’m asking if anyone could please find it in their heart to help me out. Honestly speaking, to cover everything I’ll need about $1,300. I understand that it’s a significant amount and I’m 100% thankful for any help. I know it’s the holidays and many of us are just trying to make it but I honestly don’t know where else to turn. I don’t have much family and my children’s father hasn’t been around in years. If anyone wants to contribute I would be eternally grateful! Thank you for reading my story and God bless!!
