Hi! First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m a single mama of 6. In October I was terminated from my job working at a vet emergency hospital due to the owners retaliation against me for standing up for my rights. I have a petition going for that if you’d like to look into it:

I come from a very toxic family dynamic so I don’t have any family help, I am consistently denied for government assistance ( I was just denied again as of 11/7), and no child support. I relied solely on my paychecks from work to take care of my children. With this termination, the government shutdown, and this job market. I have been desperately seeking employment with no luck as of yet. Bills are piling up. I was attempting to raise funds for rent when I initially created this post, but we have now been evicted as of 11/13.
We have been unable to stay at shelters due to the lack of room, considering we have a large family. We don’t have family to stay with and friends are unable to house a family of my size. I’ve been trying to do all that I can to avoid us staying out on the streets. 12/3 we were invited to stay with someone in exchange for free childcare. So I have been caring for 4 young children without pay in exchange for a place for me and my children to live. We are staying in a small bedroom in the home, but unfortunately, things have escalated pretty quickly and we will have to leave soon due to the domestic violence in the home between the homeowner and her spouse. I also now have a granted peace order against the man in the home, as well as a pending assault case against him.
I’ve been applying to so many jobs and filed for unemployment, but my previous employer has been refusing to report wages so that’s been on a standstill. I do have an interview scheduled for 2/2, so hopefully I hear some good news soon!
The kids dad has been struggling with substance abuse and has been completely out of the picture since 2022. His family enables him and are very toxic and disrespectful towards me because I stand up for myself and my children, so I can’t turn to them. I saw this app while scrolling through Facebook and was hoping this was a sign from God to get us some help. We desperately need to find somewhere safe to live. I have always been the backbone of my household, so this is weighing so hard on me. I believe in giving back to the community so I’m always willing to pay it forward when I have it to give, as I’ve done many times with my community projects under The Neighborhood Mama. I’m hoping I can get some good karma returned to me.
Other ways you can help:
• We have a wishlist for household essential items here: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3VW7KDC21E56C
• I also wrote a book for young girls ages 8 to 16, teaching them about their bodies and guiding them through girlhood. If anyone would like to support in that way.
