Hi everyone! As most of you know I’m Amanda, I’m a mom of 4. My family has been hit with some hard times due to currently only being 1 income and life pretty much kicking my butt. I am needing to come up with funds asap so my children don’t get kicked out of daycare. If my children get kicked out of daycare I will no longer have anyway to be able to work. If I am unable to work, I will no longer be able to provide safe housing/stability for my family. I an so embarrassed even making one of these and asking for help. But for a little back story. In April 2024, I was forced to quit my job of 3 years. Due to safety issues. My boss was very hostile with me and threatening to physically hurt me, on top of a few other issues. In between that job the new one I was starting we had moved and life was good. I started a new job that paid well, but the facility was so short staffed that I was working 60+ hr weeks. I lost all state benefits. I wasn’t getting much to begin with as I only received 159$ for food share, but the cut my childcare assistance in half and actually took away 850$ of “access” funds. But really, I just didn’t make my payment yet that month. I had requested for the 850 to be returned to my card, I even sent them proof that it was because I didn’t make the payment and they denied it. I worked really hard to come up with the 850 I needed; and then someone broke into my car and stole the 500$ I had already saved. I ended up having to leave that job due to the fact that I was so burnt out and I had a better opportunity offered to me. I am now an associate director for an assisted living facility and I absolutely love the work/life balance it offers. But again, I am still drowning paying off my previous daycare balance. I was now told that if it’s not at 0 by December 1st that my children will no longer be able to attend. This is a chance I cannot risk. My husband is currently out of the home and doesn’t come home until April / May of 2025. Although this is embarrassing to do / ask of people, but I am praying that this will help and I will be able to pay off this balance. Please consider donating to my family, thank you so much for reading this and god bless.
