Newly Single Mother Needs Rent Help After Unexpected Legal Fees

My Story:

I am a single mother with a beautiful intelligent little 1 year old girl. She is inquisitive and is the most loving child I've ever met. I take great pride in being her mother and I'm so honored she chose me to be her mom. She is by far the greatest gift that God could have ever bestowed upon me. I work full-time as an assistant manager but the job is on a temp basis.

Recently, my daughter's father decided he no longer wanted us to be a family and kicked me and our daughter out of our home. I had just began working at a really good job but still had not been able to put aside money for this type of emergency so we had to live in a motel until I was able to get the money needed to get my own place. In addition to that, I was paying legal fees that I could not afford to ensure that my daughter remained in my custody. My ex continued to be verbally and emotionally abusive to me even though we no longer lived together. I was under so much stress which caused me to lose my job. I've gained employment again but I'm behind on my rent. We need Modest Needs help to pay the past due on our rent payment.

This funding will allow me to gain some stability. I am moving towards permanent employment and building a stable savings and your help will propel this. Your assistance would make such a lasting impact on myself and my daughter's lives. It is a blessing that there are organizations like you to help hard working people thank you so much for your assistance!
