Single mom experiecing homelessness

I have been going through HELL for the past year.

I am a single black trying educated mother to a 5 year old daughter and 14 year old son. Nursing school was a huge sacrifice as i couldnt work fulltime and had to soley depend on my abuser. Yes i am a survivor of DV. and I thank God for giving me the strength to close that chapter of my life without the shoulda couldas and wouldas. I did.

For the first time in my adult life I found myself homeless but not helpless. I wasnt able to renew my lease in Nov 2024 which is the cause of the many other problems I am facing at this time.

My church assisted with my rent in October 2024 & then was supposed to assist me with moving to my new apartment December 2024, but i got the news the Monday after Thanksgiving that apparently the ball was dropped. 😪 I was devastated, literally all packed up and nowhere to go, causing me and my kids no where to go. I had to revisit a DV situation just to have a place to live. I had to throw all my furniture out and only keep me and my kids clothes toys etc. I wound up staying with this man til 5/12/2025.

Since 5/13/2025 I been homeless me and my kids been in a hotel room in Channelview. As I stated I previously I graduated nursing school 6/2024, I still haven’t been able to sit for my boards due to my hardships. I literally have to door dash and do go puff deliveries everyday to make sure i have the money to cover my room. That’s $70/day. Not including food for 2 kids and gas and many other necessities. These days lately been so harder than other days.

My car note due, car insurance due, and phone bill due. My kids go back to school Aug 12 and I dont know how Im going to make that happen. I had so many job prospects but I believe God is closing those doors because he knows the plan he has for me. I am supposed to be a NURSE already. But i been in the FIRE. I am so ready to be a NURSE and start my career.

Im literally an exam away from changing me & my kids for the better! i cant even pay the $200 fee to take my exam.

This is taking a toll on me mentally and physically. Im overwhelmed each and every day. I thank God for carrying me this far but I am tired. I really need some help.
