I’ve never done this before and I’m a bit embarrased to have to go this route. I am a family of three, my daughter is 6 will be 7 this year and will also be starting school soon. My husband and I are struggling to continue to live here in PA. We have not been able to make our mortgage payments for quite some time now, and jobs are hard to come by. Unfortunatly, even a job paying 8-9 dollars an hour for both of us, wouldn’t even come close to pay our mortgage, not counting utilities, food, & gas. We’ve been here for almost 5 years now, and the last 2 years have been extremely painfull for us to continue to live here. We face forcloser with the possibility of becoming homeless soon. With only 1 car between me and my husband it’s even more of a challange for the both of us to work & With everything more than 30 minutes away, it’s just impossible for the both of us too work. The cost of living is way to high, while the pay rates are getting lower, and we along with many families have fallen victom to this. We are just 1 of many families struggling to keep afloat because of the Economy Crisis the last few years. I have been trying to bring in some income by doing craft show, but even that’s not enough. My husband has had several jobs in the last few years, but have either gone out of business or have let people go. I cry myself to sleep if I sleep every night, and I hardly eat so that my daughter can eat. Now, my washing machine kicked the bucket and can’t afford to go to the laundry mat or even buy a new machine. This is only the begining of many thingswe have had to endore turning for the worst. This is my last ditch effert to turn things around for the best. I know I’m a stranger to whom you don’t know. I am asking you to help me by sending $2.00 which in return I will donate a handmade knit hat for newborn babies in Hospitals near me. For every $2 dollar sent is a donated hat. I generally sell these hats at craft shows, but I’m more than willing to donate them for exchange for your help. I remembered when my daughter was born, she was wearing a handmade hat that was donated to the hospital and thought this would be a great way for me to return the favor. I have lots of yarn that had been given to me so the yarn supply is not a problem. We have till Oct. and if we’re really lucky, by christmas. I really don’t even want to think about christmas either. I don’t know what else to do, I’m no longer tredding water. I’ve more like drowned a long time ago. Please send what you can to the address below, thanks for your help and support. I’m not looking to make a quick buck, I’m a real person who is asking for help And is willing to do a little donating back in return.
