Ok so, for those of you that do not know me or my story I am going to try my hardest to explain my situation so far.
1. At age 16 I had to drop out of school because I was pregnant therefore I had no education. So I got married and stayed at home and ended up having another child, until my son turned 5 and the father of our 2 children at the time decided he no longer wanted to be a part of my life or their lives and I haven't talk to him in years now and I DO NOT get child support or any assistance from him what so ever and I haven't gotten any help from him since he left when our son was 5 and our daughter was only 2.
2. later on in life I was Homeless sleeping in a camper that had no heat, lights, or water.
3. I decided to get my G.E.D while homeless living in said camper in the middle of nowhere, and studying was very hard because of my living conditions!! But I got it done and got my
G.E.D
4. I have worked in restaurants, factories, and even work from home jobs! I've stood in food lines in the rain, snow, heat whatever it took to not starve and gotten gas vouchers just to
make it to where I needed to go …anything to get by, because that's what you do when you basically have no one!!
5. fast forward 4 years, I finally got on my feet and worked at Kroger, unfortunately, 2 years after that I became homeless again and yes, I lost everything all over again. I was back to being homeless and this took a huge hit on my faith and sent my depression spiraling out of control.
6. While homeless I decided to go to college, ok this is very hard because you have to have WI-FI, and yeah my tummy felt like it was eating its self plenty of times while trying to
focus on finals and all that good stuff. I got a job working full-time cleaning at the same time, whether I stayed in a storage building with no water or electricity or from couch to couch with friends and family off n on.. I made sure I had all my assignments done and turned in and made it to work on time every day! and I not only **graduated college with an
associate's degree in medical science but I graduated top of my class and I made the dean's list 4 times!! *apparently, I'm smart?*
7. Things started to look up and I got my own place! finally thank you, God!!! we have water, we have food, we have electricity, and enough food to get by!! My kids are here every day! and I am now enrolled in my new college getting a bachelor's degree in psychology and I'm still fighting to keep going! not to mention all of our family members and friends that have passed away during this whole journey, it's been extremely HARD!! I put all my faith in God always and through all of this stuff, I've been through he never left me! and when I get an A on a test or I think something is a blessing and I'm on here saying how blessed I feel its because I have been through so much
darkness and such giant mountains to climb to even get here that I DO feel blessed. facts are, I NEVER give up, I fight back harder because this world will try to kill you if you let it, I won't let it, God won't let it.
For those of you who know for a fact what I have been through don't ever stop fighting, this is not fun I promise you it's not! but "fun" doesn't build your future or career or break
the chains of generations of the same thing. hard work does, fighting does, Never giving up does!! so If anyone out there would like to help me on my journey in furthering my education and getting back on my feet more, I would highly appreciate it and you can do so by using this platform, this is the only platform I have for any type of financial help so if you see my story anywhere else it is a fake account. God bless you all and thank you very much! I remain a single mom and fighting for my children and myself to have a better brighter future! So if you or anyone you know would like to contribute to our journey and help out with financial assistance with my college books and other educational expenses or just simply want to help feel free to do so because we could always use the help! Thank you and God bless you all.
