I am a newly single mother of a wonderful 3 almost 4 year old little boy. We recently lost his father and my husband to covid. Two weeks before he left us we were told we had to move out of the house we were renting due to plumbing issues that stared before we even ever moved in. The landlord did us pretty dirty. Not only did she keep our 2100$ deposit she also kept the 5 grand we paid a head in rent. So not only am I completely broke at this point with absolutely nowhere to go I also have to find a way to get a uhaul and a storage unit. Once my husband was gone it was completely up to me. So I found a way to get a uhaul but still had no storage unit to put it all in. I had people offer to help me but really all they were doing was stealing my stuff pretending to help me pack. After Uhaul telling me that I had to get my stuff out of the truck or they were taking it to the landfill I finally found a way to get a storage unit the day before they were taking my stuff to the landfill. SO that night I am taking stuff one car load at a time to storage and about the third of fourth time coming back it wasnt even 9 at night yet I come back and my truck with everything is gone. Im freaking out not knowing what is going on, After having to sleep in my car that night I go to uhaul that morning to find out what had happened. They inform me that my stuff had already been taken to the landfill and there was nothing I could do about it. When I first got there there was no parking in the parking lot so I was forced to park out on the street. Im hysterical at this point and a bit frantic. I get in my car and go to turn on the engine and then BOOM I get my whole front end taken out by some lady late for work. So not only did I lose everything I owned I now just lost my only means of transportation. All in less than 24 hours I lose everything. Im not so upset about materialistic stuff as I am about my sons first clothes I was turning into a quilt, our hospital bracelets we brought him home with, his heartbeat I had put in a teddybear when I was still pregnant, the time capsule i put together for him on his first birthday that he wasnt supposed to open till he turned 18, and my wedding pictures that I dont have backed up on anything. These are the things that kill me. So at this point I have maybe a suitcase with a few outfits for my son and I and thats it. My poor son has no idea whats going on. His whole world is turned upside down. He lost his dad on top of all his stuff and his house. Thank god for my brother who is allowing us to stay with him but he lives in a tiny room that can barely be called a studio because he has to share a bathroom and has no kitchen. I am grateful for him I really am but two adults and a toddler in a room the size of a closet just isnt fair to any of us. All I need is to get a stable environment for my son. If I just could find a place where he felt safe and had his own room then I could put him in school and find a job and give him a sense of normalcy I know he craves right now. I try to be strong for him but when I have to hide crying myself to sleep at night just so I dont have to hear him ask my why im crying just kills my insides. He never asked for this and I never wanted him to ever have to go through anything like this ever. Now that im a single mother I realize just how hard this is going to be. My husband was the breadwinner so now I have to find a job to support us the honestly I dont even think I will qualify for because Ive been a homemaker for so long.
