Let me tell you a little about us and our situation. We are a family of 6. Mom, Dad, two boys ages 12 & 10, and two
girls ages 7 & 3. They two boys and the oldest girl doesn't live with us on a full time basis, they live with their mom.
I'm their soon to be step mom.
I'm a full time student at our local community college pursuing a Registered Nursing Degree. I was lucky enough
to get grants, but I also had to take out student loans.
My fiance is a mason, he has a lot of health conditions that makes him unable to work, he's trying to apply for SSA,
but it has not gone through.
Right now we are on Public Assistance from the state, in reality it helps, but then it doesn't. We get $410.00
to live on a month and $25.00 to get back in forth from taking my daughter to daycare and me to school. Now bare in mind that
are rent is $400.00 a month. Not including any of our utilites like electric, gas, and phone. I have the internet thanks to
my mom and dad for my schooling. My fiance has to pay child support and they want 145.00 out of our public assistance. We
just can't afford it.
We live in a two bedroom apartment. When we have the kids it's very crowded. We don't get to see them as much as we like
to. Now that it's summer we usually have them a lot, but we haven't been able to because we can't afford to. More food gets
eaten, more utilites get used. We can't even take them anywhere.
We drive a 1980's Chevy pickup truck. It has over 400,000 miles on it. It's running on it's last leg. We also have a
1984 Chevy Camaro that doesn't run. Neither vehicle is big enough to haul all of us around when we have all the kids.
All I'm asking is if you have a big heart or if you have been in are situation that you could please help!!.
Just by donating a $1.00 or $2.00 it would add up.
