This is a different type of post, but I would appreciate if you can take the time to read this post.
I have had a few friends of mine both online and local to me tell me that I should share my story on my blog and the link to a fundraiser to help my kids and I out as well, which would be really appreciated even if it is just by sharing this post that's amazing too.
The funds raised with this will be used for things my kids and I need on a regular basis, as well as school clothes shopping, and needs they have that arise in the meantime. I save as much money that I make from Door Dashing and my blog as I can.
I keep my personal life off of my blog, so I have not posted about it at all until this post. I left an abusive marriage (mental/emotional/verbal) in June 2023 and fought tooth and nail for full primary physical custody of all 5 of my kids, and was awarded primary of all children on August 27, 2024. It was a very long 2 1/2 days in custody court for a trial, but my persistence helped and we got a final order so they all moved in with me the first week of September, as opposed to the 50/50 that we had previously up until that point. I had filed for child support but never received a penny to help with anything; he was paying spousal support up to August 2024, so his balance is up there on what he owes. The support was stopped from Feb 27, 2025 until he is released and able to pay again.
A very long story short, in December 2024 he got himself arrested for some very serious charges against me and is still in jail for them and we are almost to plea hearing thankfully but he will be in prison for awhile I'm sure. It has been a tough 5 1/2 months off and on, but kids are doing pretty well and are excited for summer break and having fun.
Due to this serious situation and not being able to physically work full time as I don't have a sitter, unless I am able to find somewhere to hire for 9am - 2pm Mon - Fri with no weekends or summer, as they are with me 24 7 when not in school, I am Door Dashing as often as orders come through while my kids are in school during the year and a few days a week during the summer when I can make it work, as Door Dashing with 3 kids under 11 is a bit difficult to do, but is doable when needed, as well as my blog is my income too.
I have dealt with a lot in the last 16 - 17 years, and it is all in my Spot Fund below that is linked if you're interested in reading it or donating at all. Again, I don't expect anything but if you choose to I truly appreciate the help.
