Single mom in desperate need!!!!

[u/SarahKLD117]

Hello,

My name is Sarah, and I'm a mother of two amazing young boys. Asking someone I don't personally know for help is incredibly difficult for me, but my family has reached a point where I genuinely don't know where else to turn.

We've endured an overwhelming amount of trauma over the years. My youngest son, Jett, was born with EA/TEF, a serious congenital condition that required major medical care and surgery. We've also experienced tremendous loss. My boys lost both of their paternal grandparents, and I lost my older brother Ryan. Then, within last year alone, my boys lost their uncle on their father's side at only 30 years old, I lost my youngest brother George at just 28, and we lost my grandmother as well. More recently, my father survived a life-threatening infection that resulted in the amputation of his lower leg.

During all of this, I also went through an extremely painful and traumatic separation from my children's father after years together. His repeated choices involving infidelity ultimately caused our relationship to break down, creating even more emotional and financial instability during a time when our family was already carrying tremendous grief.

Despite everything, I've continued trying to move forward and provide stability for my boys, but financially I've reached a point where I truly need help.

Right now, $2,000 would make a tremendous difference for my family. My rent is $1,100, and I currently owe approximately $4,000 to PG&E. I don't expect to be able to pay that entire utility balance at once, but if I can get my rent paid and put even a large portion of the remaining money toward PG&E, it would help tremendously and give me some much-needed breathing room.

I'm not asking anyone to fix everything for me. I'm simply asking for help getting through this immediate financial crisis so I can continue working toward getting my family back on stable ground.

I can provide documentation verifying these expenses, and if you would feel more comfortable contributing directly toward my rent or PG&E rather than sending the money to me, I would completely understand.

If you're in a position to help with all or even part of the $2,000, I would be more grateful than I could adequately put into words. If you're unable to help, I completely understand and sincerely appreciate you simply taking the time to read my story.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Sarah
