Verified by Lighthouse.
I'm a private person, just trying to give my kids the best life I can. I have always tried to be a good person and help others who are less fortunate. Now I'm in a position of needing help.
I have my own rental house and have not had to ask for help for some time. I pay my rent, transportation expenses (for work), food, etc. with nothing left each month. Due to the extremely cold temperatures, my heat bills have tripled and there's just not enough money.
I live for today with my children and I never want people to see me struggle. I do dream of one day owning a car, and possibly returning to school or starting my own non-profit, helping others.
I'm proud of how far I have come, and grateful for the help I have received. Being independent and seeing my children thrive makes me happy.
I'm raising money for rent so I can remain housed with my kids.
I'm raising money for application fees so I can obtain housing.
I'm raising money for basic household needs so I can meet my basic needs.
