Could you imagine having no where to live? Could you imagine being a single mother, with two children, and no where to go? It is a horrible feeling. Today, October 9, 2020 I have officially been declared homeless. I was asked to leave my familys’ house for reasons I couldnt control. I had to contact social services in Deleware and tell them I had two kids and would be homeless after today. The feelings that come along with this situation are unimaginable, I feel like a bad mother. I feel helpless.stressed,and worried . I feel for my kids because I do not know what is going through their little heads.

Through all of this I have to believe there is something better around the corner. Even though I feel like I am in the worst situation possible, I know there are people out there doing worse then me. I still have to hold my head up and do the best I can to make it through this situation.

A year ago I left my childrens’ father. He is in active addiction. It was messing our family up. I went to live with family who had been trying to get me to come there for years. My hope was to arrive there and get a job. Save up money to move my kids and I in our own home. It had been awhile since I worked because I could never find childcare…
