First things first my name is Ashleigh. I am a single mother of 2 boys and a girl, ages 5,4, and 6 months. They're definitely my #1 reason to wake up every morning and keep striving for better. Secondly I am NOT writing this because I want pitty or someone to feel bad for me, its simply for my babies. Because I can't better they're lifes without a vehicle. They have doctors appointments, they want to do sports, I want to take them to the park and swimming and do fun stuff they've never had a chance to do that so Im trying to fix my situation before they're childhood is gone. In the past I've suffered alot of hardships… But I couldn't work while I was pregnant with my last son (6 months). I was high risk and in and out of the hospital. Then a week after I brought him home my grandmother was diagnosed with an extremely rapid cancer. After leaving the hospital a week later she never walked again. She required constant care day and night, and i was happy to be there to take care of her she was my EVERYTHING. So on top of taking care of her i had a newborn and 2 other children. Im still mentally, physically, and emotionally broken from her death in March ( a month after coming home). Physiologist says I have postpartum depression. I was trying to get on medicine for that but the Medicaid cab didn't show up on 4 seperate occasions. Im enrolled in 2 different schools, but they're not full tuition so there's no financial help and I can't get there with no vehicle. The home we live in was my grandmothers and has a reverse mortgage so the bank will be taking this any day now. It says 6 months after death they will proceed with foreclosure. Ive emailed over 200 people asking for help or referrals for help but I can't get anywhere. I feel life has defeated me sometimes I don't know what else I can possibly do. So were about to be homeless and I can't better my babies lifes without a car I have tried. We also don't fit in many cars I've tried getting rides from friends. Im a very positive person but I feel so discouraged because I don't give up and no results. So these are my last efforts to help my family. Thank you for your time and god bless.
