From a local mother offering for her daughter to do it. So she can raise $6000.00 to go to London with the Pathfinders. Side note I was offering to pay a young person $20 an hour. Hello I’m just a single mom try to help my kid make it to Europe with her group because we live in poverty and I do everything and empties and trying to make something happen for my kids. Long story short on a single mom of two teenage girls, and we are in our second year of a restart from losing everything. My daughter attends first Riverside Pathfinders, and we travel from Crofton to basically halfway to the Kinsel trestle every Monday evening we attend all of her cookie blitzes, which are always in the south end never of this neck of the woods super disappointing but my daughter and I struggle big time to try and come up with the funds so we’re always the slowest to figure out a way to make some quick cash and my daughter’s aria would be happy to offer assistance with cleaning vehicles in exchange for some funds so then she can have an extra step closer to travelling to Europe with her group Long story short about asses being a single mama on disability, we struggle for a lot we go without more often than not and if there’s any way that I can try and make something fun happen for my kids I try my best to make it happen I’m currently I’m in the middle of fighting for full custody of my children and I’m in the middle of trying to sue my ex for child support as well because it’s really not easy to make ends meet when you combine your disability check with your child tax check and have $11.48 to live off of for you daily necessities of life your food your bills, the pads, your tampons your kids necessities like shoes and clothing bras undies all that stuff. It’s really hard to make that stretch. And I’m trying to figure out how to repair my truck to boot lol I then offer info on a local single mothers group. Where she can post anonymously for food. Also said I’m sorry she is going through this. This is her response. That is one of the most useless groups I’ve ever come across There was one too many people running it now so receiving Help is so a few and far between My kids and I are just better off going without. And there’s definitely no chance in hell that they could help me figure out my vehicle All I know is that I’m a single mom up to on disability and I can’t go anywhere for a hamper. Long story short not that you even need to know probably don’t even care but anyway here it goes. I am definitely one of those families said false between the cracks in the systems. We can’t go off to a food bank because my ex takes those I don’t qualify for additional assistance because I’ve already maxed out all of my assistance with disability. My ex tackles all the main agencies in town so there’s no help from many of them. There’s no help available from Mcfd. They tell me to go see tribes tribes tells me to go see Mcfd for assistance with food and household and daily necessities that we desperately need to end up going without every single day. So a single mom like me can’t go to a food bank can’t go to Mcfd can’t go off the tribes. Those are the biggest government agencies to help families and children so in my house, we have a saying….. lots of people don’t agree with that but it’s facts for us. Since I have letters from both agencies telling me I am beyond help my family is beyond help. It makes me tell my children and they’re actually the ones that came up without so it made me laugh even harder when I heard it, but “ every child matters but them.” Now when you hear that coming out of your child’s mouth you know it’s facts. I wish there were better agencies in town to help out single parents To go around begging every day for gift cards is humiliating to message one of the commands of the no worries Mom‘s groups because my anxiety is really bad so asking in the public group for assistance is incredibly challenging and then being told by Abigail herself “well tough shit either you ask or go without because we don’t care” that makes it really embarrassing and even harder to ask for help…. I’ve lost everything because of horrendous relationship. I’ve been beaten by my previous landlord in front of my children who stole all my farm animals, and then some from my home, my children and I have been literally attacked physically mentally emotionally and financially, as we were losing everything a few years ago and this is my second year of restart. I’m just trying to make things work so if you know of anyone that could assist me with ball joints or assist me with getting some empties so I can get an extra step toward that we’re all ears. Because currently with no friends and no family because we were so isolated for so long, it’s just myself a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old and we know that absolutely nobody cares and it shows by the lack of help that we received despite going into these agencies in person and asking politely begging crying in front of these places I’m sorry I’m not trying to laugh out in anyway. I’m just a desperate frustrated Mom with no friends no family. Poor kid. She is giving her daughter hope about a trip to London. It’s $6000 per girl to go. I can’t even 🤯 I ended up hiring a girl for $20 an hour. She did an amazing job.   submitted by   /u/Disastrous_Candy9122 [link]   [comments]
