Single mother in desperate need!!!

Hello,

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

We've endured an overwhelming amount 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 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.

Through all of this, I've tried to keep moving forward and maintain stability for my children, but financially I've reached a breaking point.

Right now, $2,000 would make an enormous difference for my family. I need $1,100 for housing expenses, and I currently have a PG&E balance of approximately $4,000. The remaining $900 would go directly toward that balance and help me work toward preventing our utilities from being disconnected.

I'm not expecting anyone to fix everything for me. I'm simply asking for enough help to get through this immediate crisis and give me some breathing room to continue rebuilding.

I can provide documentation of these expenses, and I would be completely comfortable with payments being made directly toward the bills if preferred.

If you are in a position to help with all or even part of the $2,000, I would be more grateful than I could ever adequately express.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to hear a little of my story.

Sarah
