YOU’RE MY LITTLE DARLING SOMETIMES YOU BREAK MY HEART YOU’RE MY LITTLE DARLING ALL THE TIME YOU MAKE ME HAPPY

“Too needy” is not a valid excuse and most women’s “neediness” is a direct product of abuse or neglect (which I guess is also a type of abuse) or instability and I’m not saying everyone is capable of dealing with that but maybe don’t get into relationships with people if you’re not emotionally evolved enough to support and help your partner heal and grow through their insecurities and trauma but that’s just my opinion

I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY

Please help us, that isn’t easy for me to say and it’s not something I want to ask, but I’m more than willing. My family really needs help, if you’re close with us you know my amazing mom, Veronica Hill, recently finished school and has been working as nurse; her lifelong dream. Along with that blessing however, we lost all government assistance, including Section 8, which I’m not embarrassed to admit is the only reason we’ve been able to avoid being homeless again, since about 2011. Because she’s out of school, she has to pay on her student loans, payments that are about $780 dollars a month. We don’t qualify for food stamps, she has to pay for health insurance, we simply can’t afford rent right now, and starting in July we’d owe $1200 a month on top of everything else. My mother is a strong woman, an incredible mother and she’s doing everything she can, but we need help. Please help us from homelessness. She’s so drained and I just miss my mom. I really just want her to have a little faith again; a bit of peace for her to get back on her feet all the way to not feel so crushed.

You think once you’re finally out of poverty it will get easier, but then you’re worse off than before left to figure it out in the cycle of poverty. It’s likely if we can’t figure this out soon my two younger siblings Asuncion and Julius, will have to move back to VA. The last thing I want is for my family to be separated, so I’m begging. I’m asking for a miracle I know, but we just need help, the amount the point we’re at, a dollar is a gift. Please, help my family get out of this cycle, please help us I know the goal is lofty but I don’t expect it all. I ask even if you can’t donate, which I understand, everyone is struggling; but that you can help share this one.

If there’s any information I can provide or anything else you need to feel confident in donating, please don’t be reluctant to ask I can be reached here most times of day.

Thank you so much to anyone thats helped share/and donate. I changed from the WePay system over to PayPal; thank you so so much for all the helped we’ve received this means so much to me and my family, and I’ll be sure to update again once I do tell my mom about it. Thank you so so much to everyone thats helped once again I can’t express my gratitude!!
