Maintain a place to stay

Date Published: 

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but a clear goal. I recently lost my job, and as a parent, my biggest fear is coming true: I’m struggling to keep the lights on and the fridge full for my kids while I look for our next chapter.
I’m a fighter, and I already have [5] job interviews lined up for this week. I know I can get us back on our feet, but I’ve hit a wall I can’t climb alone. A previous promise of help fell through, leaving us two weeks behind where we should be.
Right now, I am focused on my kids' stability:
* Keeping our home: I am $[1,400] short on our rent/utilities to avoid a notice.
* Keeping them fed: I need to restock the basics (milk, fruit, school lunch supplies).
* Their "Normal": I want to make sure they don't feel the weight of this stress. $500 would cover their basic needs for the next two weeks.
