It's been a rough year for my family. IT was supposed to be a happy time when it all began, but we have been cast into misery and are flailing. I got married in May and the following day my Great Aunt passed away. A week later a friend of the family. and on the 15th of June my Mother. My great Aunt owned the house that me and my children had been living in for 4 years and after she passed my so-called family basically pushed us out. My husband had a small one bedroom apartment in New Jersey so we put what we could in storage and came here at the end of July.
When we got here we had trouble registering the kids for school because of the residency issues ( we have essentially 4 ppl in a 1 bedroom apartment, so the landlord would not give us the paper we needed until we moved) It took some time to save a whole new deposit and first months rent and the children ended up starting school 1.5 months later than the other students and we were broke and all of our bills lapsing, living on about 30$/week for grocery.
I applied for food assistance and now we get some help with that.
The costs for my mothers expenses is out of control and no one else is helping pay that. I look for work every day but haven't had much luck. My husband has a decent job and works everyday but we are still struggling.
I need to be able to get back to ohio to get our winter clothing and the rest of our things AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Even our christmas tree is there.
We have no livingroom furniture. No Curtains and one blanket & towel each.
My sons are 5 & 7 and love superheros, computers, video games, toy cars, legos, play-doh and anything to do with arts and crafts.
I am new to the area so I don't know places to sign up for help although I have tried looking on the internet. I do not have a phone.
If you can help or point me in the right direction to get help let me know please.
I really want my children to have a normal Christmas. After all the loss they have experienced... I can't bear to break their hearts.
