Hi, my name is Rani, and I’m a single mom to a bright, beautiful 2 & 9 year old. I’ve always done my best to provide and push through but right now, we’re in a situation I never imagined being in, and I need help.
At the end of last year, I lost my vehicle. Even then, I still managed to stay afloat working temporary jobs and doing what I could from home. But when my last temp job ended in February, I turned to gig work driving for apps like Lyft and DoorDash to support me and my baby.
It wasn’t easy, but I held it together for as long as I could. Every dollar went to the basics: diapers, food, wipes ect just making sure he was okay. But the gig work slowed down. The cost of keeping a rental vehicle became too much over $1,300 a month and I had to return it this past Monday.
That same day, we lost our home.
I’ve been trying to stay strong, but right now we’re without a car, without a place to stay, and without any stable income. A friend offered us a place temporarily, but once we got there, the situation turned unsafe. He expected sexual favors and limited our ability to use lights or water. I had to leave for the safety of my child.
We’ve been going place to place ever since.
I’m asking for help so I can get a vehicle again and find a temporary place to stay even just a hotel room where we can be safe. A car would allow me to start working again, take my child to daycare, and slowly start rebuilding everything we’ve lost.
I’ve tried to stay quiet about my struggles, but my son deserves better and I’m asking for help because I want to give that to him.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting us. Every bit helps even if it’s just a share or a prayer.
With love,
Rani ❤️
