Please help me get to my girls/Save my Storage
Donation protected
In January of this year, my entire life/world fell completely apart. The home I was renting in Cypress got sold in foreclosure, and the owner lied about the status of her stability with that home when we agreed to rent it in September 2018. We came home one day in January only to be locked out so we were forced to leave. I was able to have about three hours to pack all our things and get my animals, etc. on top of this happening, My wallet was stolen two days later out of my car, at the Kroger parking lot and it had every dime we had to our name in it along with ID and SS card, etc. I had no choice but to have my two youngest daughters go stay with a relative, and I loaded up my suv with what I could fit, and my three dogs and turtle. I had no place to go myself, I had just recently in the prior weeks, also lost my job. I had nobody to turn to. Nobody could help me. Some said I could stay a few days but that I would need drop off my animals at a shelter. I couldn’t bare the thought of doing my pets that way. I was alone, scared, and completely broken. For the first time ever, I was without my girls and without a way to do anything but sit in a parking lot and cry. My friends family in Alabama said to come here and to bring my dogs and I would have a place to go until I got on my feet again. I drove 13 hours straight and cried 12 of those hours. Three months later, I have had absolutely ZERO luck finding work (my industry is non existent in the small town I am in or any near me) I am told I am way overqualified for what they’re needing, or because I worked in mortgage and title the past 22 years, I don’t have any recent receptionist experience- ????? I have applied for at least 75+ jobs and still nothing. I woke up one day to my SUV gone. The finance company came for my car, across states & now I was left with no way to get to a job if I got one or to Texas, to be back with my girls. I have spent 6 months in pure heartache and hell without my children, it is unbearable. I have been unable to pay our storage bill as well, and I now have only five days to come up with $1500 to save our storage from lien sale. It’s all we own.. pictures of my girls, their awards, their lives.. in boxes, my daddy’s ashes & things that I cannot ever replace. I am beyond heartbroken and have no way to do anything. Anyone that knows me, knows as a single Mom, my girls and working for them and providing for them has been my top priority their entire lives. They are now 21, 18, and 14 and I feel that all those years of sacrifices and struggles to work hard to make sure they were taken care of... is gone. I have nothing. no family, friends, and I am now states and miles away and it’s now been six months. This family has helped provide a place for me to stay, and I am beyond grateful to them for that. but they are unable to financially help me as they both are older and live on a fixed limited income. Please know ... it is extremely difficult to open this up to everyone and tell my story this way, because I don’t ever air my life on FB or any social media and mainly try and post positive, happy things. But.. it’s not my reality and has not been since January. I am desperately trying to get on my feet and return home to Texas and back with my girls again. I am not one to ever ask for anything, but I always have given to those that needed me, even if I couldn’t afford to at times. I am asking anyone that can, to please .. please .. help me get back, and to help me pay the storage facility in five days the amount due to save the only things we own and protect my daddy’s ashes from being thrown away from the “highest bidder” if auctioned. I have found someone here that is willing to take a $1000 deposit on a small car and allow me to pay the rest when I get working again. I am pleading- please help me get the storage paid so it’s current and safe from lien sale and get that car so I can get back to my three girls - please - if you can help me at all, to reach this goal for these two very important things, you will be breathing life back into me and to them. You will be giving me a chance to keep hope alive and finally get some rest from the extreme hurt and pain from missing my children so very much. The amount donated is never too small.. please know every cent I would be so grateful for ❤️ My time is running out with the storage facility. I literally have only five days.. This would mean the world to me to be able to take care of this - it would change my life. Having to ask for this help is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I have always managed to pull back up if I struggled.I am a very prideful, private person and keep my personal life to myself, so please know that writing this took everything I had in me. But I can’t do a single thing this time without yalls help. , this is the truth and reality of what my life really is.. and I cannot take losing all we own and as well as my daddy’s ashes. I want nothing more than to know our things are safe and to wrap my arms around my three babies.
i believe there is still good people in the world and I believe miracles happen. I need a miracle today.
To those that can help me - I simply cannot express my gratitude appropriately - there are no words to what this would mean to me. Thank you - From my soul - Thank you ❤️
