Hey y’all, I’m at a point that feels like I’ve fallen straight through rock bottom, and I don’t even know how to ask for help without feeling like I’ve failed completely, but I’m laying it all out here. I’m June, 22, a single mama to two little blessings, and I’m fighting just to keep my head above water. I’m not trying to guilt trip anyone or beg for pity, I just need the tiniest boost to not lose everything. If you can spare even $1, it could help me cover my medical bills and medication so I don’t collapse entirely. Let me tell you how I’ve ended up in this absolute mess, and I’m praying the Lord guides someone to read this.
I’ve just escaped a nightmare of a relationship with my ex, Marcus, who turned my life into pure hell. He was all sweet at first, had me thinking we were building a future, but it turned ugly fast. He’d yell, control every move I made, and hit me so hard I’d hide the bruises from my own kids. I stayed for my babies, Jayden and Aaliyah, hoping I could change him, praying God would soften his heart, but it only got worse. A few months ago, he went too far, threatening us with violence I can’t even type out, and I finally ran with my kids in the middle of the night, no plan, just terror. I’ve got a restraining order now, but I’m left with nothing, just trauma and two little ones who need me to be strong.
The financial mess I’m in started when Marcus found out I was planning to file for divorce. He got into our joint bank account and wiped it clean, every single penny I’d worked years to save, over $7,000, gone in an instant just to spite me. He even called to rub it in, laughing that I’d never survive without him. Between that and my family pushing me deeper into debt by convincing me to get a credit card for their benefit, I’m drowning in bills I can’t manage. I’m left with nothing but debt, heartbreak, and two hungry little angels to care for.
On top of that, I’ve been dealing with serious medical issues that have kept me from working for months. I’ve got lupus, and the flare-ups are so bad I can’t even stand some days, let alone chase after my toddlers. Medication costs around $350 a month, and doctor visits have been no help, just milking me dry every step of the way with bills I can’t possibly pay, so I’m stuck in this vicious loop with no way to get proper care or documentation for disability. I’m freaking out. I can’t even keep my phone on because the bill is overdue, so reaching out to anyone who might help has been nearly impossible.
I’ve been applying to every job I can possibly manage, even with my health crumbling, and I’ve had to resort to biking everywhere because my old car finally gave out last week. I’m genuinely terrified. I’m only 22, and I feel so hopeless, like everything keeps hitting me one after the other, and I’m struggling to juggle it all. My babies need me, but I can’t be there for them if I don’t get my meds. I’m not asking for a fortune, just $1 from anyone who can spare it to help with my medical bills and medication. If enough pitch in, I can get my pills, stabilize my health, and keep pushing for a job to get us back on track.
I’ve got no family to turn to, the last person I really could have counted on has betrayed me, and I’m so scared of what’s coming next if I can’t catch a break. Please if you’ve got literally just one dollar to bless me with, I have a CashApp at $junesummrs99, or DM me for other options since I can’t use GoFundMe due to my phone being cut off for verification codes. I’m humbling myself to ask for help to stay alive for my kids, but I swear on the Bible, every cent goes to my meds and keeping us afloat. Aside from money, any advice or tips on resources to get through this month would mean the world. I know folks work hard, and I’m trying my very hardest to keep going, but I’m barely holding on. Thank you guys for even taking the time to read this mess of a story. Your time is a gift to a broken soul leaning on faith to piece things back together. May God bless you for any and all kindness you show.
