SupportPaige

Hi! My names Paige, I don’t know what I’m doing but I need help. Im 22 and nothing has really worked in my favor, really all my life. My parents, my mother being an addict who lost custody of all of her 3 children, me being the oldest; and my father a two time violent felon who pretends I don’t exist. I’ve been on and off of homelessness for about 5 years now, about to be 6. I’m 6 years sober off of Xanax but I’m living like I’m an addict. No matter how hard I try I can’t get a leg up and I feel like it’s because of how kind I am. I know what it’s like to experience hardship, I’ve experienced many. I don’t want anyone to go through the things I have, so I help everyone. It often leaves me with nothing. I feel like nothing now. I want to go for my LPN and help more people. I was working as a CNA for 6 months on a dementia unit, I lost my job because I stood up for people who couldn’t stand up for themselves. I didn’t consider that I would potentially lose my job for doing the right thing but now I have nothing. I know if I had these things I’d be able to maintain it. It’s just the getting there is the hardest part. I figure maybe this is worth a shot, it’s getting really hard to keep trying as embarrassing as that is. My goal is to get a car and an apartment preferably where there’s a lot of employment and opportunities for me to work in healthcare. I know if I had them I’d be able to maintain it. I don’t expect anyone to actually help me but I genuinely need it. I appreciate anyone who even considers it, I know times are hard for a lot of people. Thank you
