$400 For Rent

Between rent, utilities, groceries, childcare, and everyday necessities, it feels like I'm constantly choosing which bill needs to be paid and which one will have to wait. I'm working, I'm trying, and I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do, but somehow I'm still falling behind. It's heartbreaking to work so hard and still find yourself struggling to afford the basic things your children deserve.

Now I'm facing something I never imagined I'd have to face: losing my home. The thought of having to pack up our belongings and leave the place my children know as home absolutely breaks me. I look at my babies and wonder how I'm supposed to explain to them that we might not have a place of our own anymore. They're too little to understand eviction notices, overdue rent, or the reality of not making enough money to survive.
