Hey y’all! My name is Cynthia. I am a mother of two girls who are 15 and 8.
A little back story about myself is I have recently separated from someone who I have been with for the last 10 years of my life. Not the best relationship, unfortunately. Although there was good days, the bad days the kids and myself had to endure wasn’t cool. I had finally decided to rely on him financially about a year ago and now I have been separated and jobless. And do not financial help from him. I did not want to get back with him just because I need money. I am trying to stand in my own two feet. But bills don’t stop and it’s been hard. I had to come to my parents which they are supportive. But unfortunately my dad suffered two strokes and had been off work for awhile. My mom has been on disability since last year, and now I don’t have the financials either myself. And theirs are limited too.
I am currently in college and have been for the last 6 years receiving a few degrees along the way. But with no luck getting a job in the career I’d like as I’ve applied at many different places. I am currently a substitute teacher but as holidays come, I don’t get paid during those times. Which is why I have spent months applying elsewhere. With no luck. And even as a substitute teacher, it’s not much pay either. I am very actively searching for a job.
The amount I’m praying and have faith I could receive would cover costs for quite a few things. The bills that don’t stop and were in my name, I have a truck and tires I am stuck paying on and would like to pay off, some college supplies and books I need, school clothes for my girls. My oldest attends both high school and college and I’d like to make sure she doesn’t lack any of her supplies either. And lastly, a home I could get for my girls and myself. Whether a home or even an apartment but with that amount I could afford to pay the pet deposits and rent as we have pets that have helped my girls during these times and I cannot envision not taking them with us.
I am a prideful person but I have learned that it’s okay to ask for help sometimes. And that is where I am. My girls look up to me and I would do anything to continue my education so I can be their role model. But working and going to college is what I intend to do and have been doing.
I just want to make sure they have the things they need and I could get them in a home that they can have their own rooms as they are older and need privacy. I will be so grateful for anything! And prayers are always welcomed because as a single mother who cannot fall, the world is on our shoulders.
Thank you so much and stay blessed! 🖤
