My name is Chantel and I am a mom of 3 kids – soon to be 4 kids.
Have you ever dreamed about something – a new car, debt that are paid off, etc. and felt helpless to make it happen? I really need help reaching my dreams.
Firstly, I want to be financially free, I need to be able to pay off all my debt. At the moment we are drowning in debt, which means that our family is suffering. I only want the best for my kids, I want to be able to pay for clothes for them and get them what they need but, at the moment we are in so much debt, that I can’t even buy a pair of shoes for them! My eldest daughter is in high school and she wants to partake in a lot of after school activities, but she can’t because we don’t have the finances to help her with her dreams. Some days there isn’t enough money to buy groceries and this makes me feel powerless, it makes me feel like a bad mom and it frustrates me a lot!
Secondly, I need help raising funds to buy a car. It doesn’t have to be the latest model; it just needs to be a reliable car that works! Our car is an old 1989 VW Jetta and is constantly breaking down – every month we have to replace something that broke and this is also a big strain financially.
At the moment our car broke down again and we have been without transportation for about a month. We had to borrow money (debt!!) to get the parts to fix it. It is rather embarrassing to ask for a lift for me and my kids and it’s very stressful on us.
Thirdly, I need help to get things for my baby. I am 7 months pregnant and I don’t have a lot of things for my baby. I need baby girl clothes, bottles, baby bath tub, breast pump, diapers, cloth nappies, etc. I also need things for myself for when I go into labour – breast pads, sanitary pads, panamas’, slippers, etc. As I said above, we don’t have any money to buy extra things, and I am starting to stress about the things I will need in a few weeks for my baby girl (and me).
Fourthly, I would really like help to get household items, all the things we have in our home was hand-me-downs when we got it and is not in a good condition anymore (eg. bed sheets – we don’t have money to buy new bed sheets and ours are falling apart!)
I would really appreciate it if I can get help with the above as soon as possible, The most urgent is the things I will need for baby and me.
The support I would receive with this will be a huge blessing to me and my family. Somewhere along the way we have lost our optimism and hope for a better future and if by some miracle we can get help with the above, it will really lift the burden that we carry and will give us hope for a better future for our kids.
The struggles we are going through are real and painful and embarrassing and I just want someone to give us a chance in life. I
will REALLY appreciate any help in donations and I will be eternally grateful for it.
