Testimonial
This person has left the following thank you note:
I want to thank everyone who gave generously to help my family. I am so indebted to each and every one of you. I am so excited to be able to go talk to my apt manager and let her know that payment is on the way. She told me that there was no way a bunch of strangers would care enough to help me avoid eviction. I am so glad to prove her wrong! I plan to help others, the way I've been helped. As soon as things settle down, I will come back to Modest Needs... to donate what I can and make a difference in someone else's life, the way you have made in mine. Thank you for all your help and may God Bless each of you. Sara
Trying to Remain Positive...
My Story:
Me and my girls need rent help and this is why: When I went to the doctor's office on April 1st, I had no idea that I would be sent to an emergency room and admitted. It was scary and stressful. I tried not to think about the three little girls waiting for me at home. I tried not to think about my job, but it's hard and it's stressful. I spent about four days in the hospital with extremely high blood pressure and no apparent reason for it. After several days of tests and labs, I was discharged but I was not released to return to work until 4/23.
I am separated and have not received any child support in almost a year. My daughter will be 3 in September. I also have custody of my two nieces who are 4 and 6. I need some help with my rent. I cannot afford to pay it. I have returned to work but my bills are now all behind. I received a check on 5/1 but it was barely $200. I used that to buy food for my family. I applied some of it to my rent, so the management company would be willing to work with me. If my rent is not paid by 5/15, they will start the eviction process.
Every thing that I do, I do for these children. I have made sure that they are safe and that they have food, shelter, and other necessary items. There have been times this month that I have fed them a meal and tried not to cry when they asked me why I didn't eat with them. How can I tell them that I only have enough food for the three of them? It seems like such a small thing. But I would rather know that they are fed and satisfied, than to leave all of us hungry. That's a small sacrifice to make, in order to see my girls happy.
I have spent many nights worrying about this and trying to remain positive. I don't want to upset the kids, and I don't want to scare them, but if I can't find a way to pay the rent, we don't have any place to go.
