Bio

Recently my children & I have been hit with a significant loss. I was in a terrible car accident. A few weeks later my son had to have an emergency surgery which caused me to miss work & later ended up in me having no job at all. I've been looking for work but keep running into scams. I am facing an eviction currently. My oldest child is autistic so we depend on his income but it doesn't even cover our full rent. I signed back up for school so that I can get back on track. I don't know if I will be able to continue with school because we may be homeless soon with no where to go. I am a single parent & I want to show my sons that giving up can't be an option, that's why I want to continue my education. I just need a helping hand in helping me stay on course. Any extra financial help will help me avoid this eviction or even help with getting another vehicle for my family so I can get back to work as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and your help.

    Firstly, I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to be in a predicament where I can finally breathe again. My children & I have been hit with a significant loss. I was in a terrible car accident a couple of months ago. A few weeks later my youngest son had to have an emergency surgery which caused me to miss work & later ended up having no job at all. The last 7 years I have only been able to do Instacart because my oldest son has Autism, so any job I have had I ended up losing because I would have to leave and deal with his outbursts whenever he had them. Leaving work caused me to be fired. I've been looking for work from home but keep running into scams. I have been "hired" a couple of times but oddly ended up getting no response from the employer. I truly don't understand. After going through the application process, and interviews, the a congratulatory email or message saying you got the job. When I would reach out I then got no further information. I am facing an eviction currently. Because my child is autistic, right now we depend on his income from social security but it doesn't even cover our full rent. I signed back up for school so that I can get back on track. I chose to get into Medical Billing and Coding because I want to be in the medical field but on the administrative side. I know it will be easier for me to find work from home as a medical coder and biller. Unfortunately, I don't know if I will be able to continue with school because we may be homeless soon with no where to go since I just lost my job after the accident & my baby's surgery. I am a single parent & I want to show my sons that giving up can't be an option, that's why I want to continue my education. Only 1 of my children's fathers has been "compliant" with child support but even that is less than $200 a month. I really just need a helping hand with me staying on course. Any extra financial help will help me avoid this eviction or even help with getting another vehicle for my family so I can get back to work as soon as possible. Also, so I focus on getting my school work done so I can move forward in life and graduate with another accomplishment. Any help is truly appreciated. Thank you for your time and your efforts in trying to help the next family. Even if it's not my family I truly understand that this scholarship will be a blessing to anyone trying to get on track like myself. Hopefully I get the chance to make a difference in this same manner one day. I just need to get over this bump in the road first. Again, thank you for taking the time to hear my troubling situation. May you be blessed in return.
