Desperate Mother In Need.

Donation protected
Hey everyone. REASON FOR MY GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN: I'm here trying to raise money for myself and my 7yr old son. We've been facing a lot of hurdles and I as you can tell am a single mother. Doing this on my own. No help from anyone. It's just us two. I had no where else to turn honestly for help financially, I was told about this and it helped so many people. It's amazing the stories and progress people make on it. The miracles. But I wanted to try and see if this could help me and my son. If it does that would mean the world to us and if it doesn't it's okay it was worth the effort. Never hurts to try. Anything is possible.  Well we are from Hawaii born and raised. Times are hard here, finding stable secure jobs that pay well is just as hard. I work two jobs both are part time I barely make 25-30 hrs a week, so I'm constantly searching for jobs every chance I get. I am a certified nurse aide and retail associate. I been trying to go back to college. I tried for the grant for single parents but I unfortunately didn't get it so I'd have to pay which I cannot afford so it's on hold. If I had the funds I'd definitely go back and get my nursing degree to become a licensed registered nurse. BUT my main concern is my son and providing him the best life possible and be a good mother/provider for him. Like any other in this world we face tragedies and struggle. Well we been going through our fair share and can't catch a break, I've tried to get help from welfare and whatever charities and resources I could find but I seem to never qualify or meet the requirements. Which I don't understand because I make only $500 I'd say every month and I barely can pay our monthly bills and necessities and things we need like food and clothes. Every month is a struggle as to what bills I can pay or how much groceries I can afford to get to last a whole month. And recently our car broke down and it's over $1000 to fix which we cannot afford so we're left walking or having to ask for rides from whomever willing to. I just feel like a failure and disappoinment as a mother that my son has to live life this way. For the past four years we were unable to celebrate my childs birthday like people do traditionally with a cake and presents, neither have we celebrated Christmas for the past four five years because I couldn't afford to buy him gifts. I can never do anything for us. I know it's not as bad as it seems but it is and I recently been diagnosed with bi - polar disorder, I see a counselor to help manage my disorder and depression and so much more. I know theirs worse situations and problems out there that others face so I don't want to sound selfish or "pity me" story. I'm just out of solutions and wanna just better our life for me and my child most importantly. I'm definitely not one to ask for money or hand outs, but I'm left with no choice and in desperate need of help. If anyone, just anyone could help me and my son. We would deeply appreciate it so much, it would be the ultimate greatest thing. We both always hope and pray every day that some day we will be blessed with greater things.  I'm just asking anyone if you could please help us in any way. It could be $5 or $10 no matter the amount, we'd deeply appreciate it so much. It would better our life and future. Please!  Thank you so much if you took the time to read this and hopefully understand or just to be here noticing us. Thank you and bless your heart. ♥️
