Hey everyone. This is really, really difficult for me... please forgive my awkwardness.. I dont know how to do this. But, we need help. My kids and I are in a troubling situation. My daughter (Ava) and I, are are both dealing with broken bones in our left legs, and we are being evicted, because I cannot pay my rent.
Those of you that know me, know I am a single mom of two amazing kids, Ava 13 and Charlie 9. And I do everything on my own, with no help or assistance from their Father. In fact, we are coming up on 3 years of my kids not even seeing their Father. By his choice, unfortunately. We also do not get child support, even though it is court ordered. I average 2 to 3 jobs, at any given time. But I lost everything...
I dont even know where to start. I fractured my leg, on a spill at the self checkout at Safeway, on June 1st. I have been out of work since then. I am stuck with crutches and a full leg immobilizer, supposed to be zero weight bearing. I have to have surgery, and am awaiting Oregon Paid Sick Leave (another 3-4 weeks away) unfortunately, my 13 year old Daughter had to have urgent surgery on her leg last Thurdsay (July 16th) and its been really difficult taking care of her, with a bad leg myself. Ava dislocated her knee and broke off a piece kneecap, during dance practice. I am unable to do much, and side work like Instacart has barely been getting us by with day to day. Its pretty much barely enough for gas to start the next day and to get to and from dr appts and PT appts. I need to come up with enough money to pay my 2 months late rent, before we get evicted. I have until August 7th, which will be my eviction trial. I know everyone has things going on, and I feel so bad even asking for help. But this is my Hail Mary. This is my last chance to keep our home and not lose everything. I'll be ok once my sick leave gets back paid in 4 weeks, and when my short term disability gets processed. But I am scared. So scared. We came from a very hard DV (abusive) situation, and I worked so hard to make sure my kids would be safe. I cant lose everything for Ava and Charlie. I understand if you cant help, but if you can please, please share this? God bless you all, thank you for reading all of this. Thank you 🖤
