Two Working Parents Asking for Help Catching Up on Rent
My husband and I both work full time, and I take on additional consulting work whenever possible. We've always worked hard to provide for our family, but after several difficult years, we're struggling to catch up financially.
Earlier this year, I finally found a wonderful full time job after nearly three years of unstable income. It was a huge step forward for our family, but the debt we accumulated while trying to survive has made it incredibly difficult to get back on our feet.
One of our biggest setbacks came when I worked for a small business for three months without receiving the money I was owed. That missing income was money our family depended on, and it pushed us even further behind.
Now, despite both of us working, we're constantly trying to catch up. We've fallen behind on car payments, taken out a title loan to avoid repossession, and struggled to keep up with utilities and other essential expenses.
But right now, our biggest concern is rent.
We need $2,500 to get our housing expenses caught up and avoid falling further behind. Every month, we're paying late fees that make it even harder to recover.
I've spent most of my life living paycheck to paycheck. I know how to stretch a dollar, make sacrifices, and still provide for my children. But there's a difference between making ends meet and trying to recover from years of financial setbacks.
We're not asking anyone to support our family indefinitely. We're both employed, and we're working hard to rebuild our financial stability.
We're simply asking for help getting our rent caught up so we can stop falling further behind and start moving forward again.
Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a meaningful difference.
Thank you for reading our story and considering helping our family.
