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 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.  I created a fundraiser to help me with my 5 kids, so if you are able to help me out thank you in advanced. If not, sharing my link helps too!

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. 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. 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 his jury trial is in late November, but he will be in prison for awhile I'm sure. It has been a tough almost 10 months off and on, but kids are doing pretty good and we are looking forward to the holidays.

Due to this serious situation and not being able to physically work full time as I don't have a babysitter, 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 doing Walmart Spark Driver, as often as orders come through while my kids are in school during the year and in evenings sometimes and 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.
