Single mom behind on rent and utilities asking for help
WASHINGTON / by 875415 / New
Hi, I’m a single mom in Seattle, WA, and I’m humbly asking for help. Recently in the beginning of October I made a choice to leave a DV situation with my two kids who are 5 and 9 years of age due to the fractures in both of my eye sockets, both cheek bones and a partial of my skull which left us homeless and sleeping in hotels running by from my abuser. I finally had healed enough to re gain independence enough to start back at my job and I found a place of our own to call home that is safe, however, I got seriously ill and ended up in the hospital with sepsis and it was a very fast progressing sickness that almost took my life. At the time of getting sick with sepsis I was pregnant which the infection took my pregnancy too. I had to give birth after 31 weeks pregnant to my baby boy which he was already passed away well before I started to push which a few weeks later had to bury my baby after I had spent 3 weeks in the hospital recovering. I’m trying to recover and get back on my feet, but I fell behind on everything while I was in the hospital fighting for my life, and then grieving the baby I lost which out of everything I’d been through, the loss was the hardest because it impacted not just myself but both of my children who stayed stronger than me in the moments that were the hardest.
I’m behind $2,900 on rent, two months behind, and owe $283 on my utility bill, $3,183 total. I don’t have any friends or family that is safe to call which I had to accept when I chose to leave my preparatory whom I was with for 8 years of my life. It’s just me and my little girl and my little boy. I’m working hard to get caught up and keep a roof over my kids’ heads, but really anything helps, even a portion of it.
Thank you for reading this, and for any kindness you can share. God bless. If you can help, please reach out through 2Hands.
