Stephanie Sakal hasn't added a story.
I am Stephanie Sakal and my family and I are homeless living in a motel. The motel has been sold and will be demolished soon. We have nowhere to go and no funds to do so. We are hoping to be able to get our own apartment soon, with your help.
Have you ever had to go without? Not without something you wanted, but something you NEEDED? Food? Water? Electricity? Because you couldn't afford all three? New shoes that aren't threatening to fall apart with each step? New clothes that aren't so old you don't even remember what their original color is? That aren't riddled with holes and snags, and aren't three sizes too small?
Have you ever had to wonder where your next meal was going to come from, or if there would even be enough for you after your kids were done eating?
Have you ever wondered how in the hell you were going to pay that bill with the 24 hour shut off notice?
Have you ever had to ask for help? Ever had to set aside your pride, and go against your very instinct to fight and provide for your family?
I know times are hard for all of us right now. Believe me I KNOW. I know what it's like to struggle. To work your damned ass off just to make ends meet. I know what it's like to live pay check to paycheck . I know what it's like to feel like you'll never get a chance to catch your breath because as soon as one batch of bills is paid off, another wave rolls in, because I've lived that.
So believe me...I know what I'm asking of you. And I completely understand if there isn't anything you can do. But on the chance that there IS something you can do, please do so. Thank you.
