Hello, I have never asked for a donation before but I found this site on line so please bear with me. 

About a year and a half ago my husband decided to leave me and when he left he took everything but the couch I was sitting on and the coffee table.

(He had convinced me before we married to leave my city to move to his, and told me to leave my furniture because we had his - HA! big mistake). 

Well after he left I was stuck in a city with no family and maybe 2 friends which I lost contact with. 

I managed to pay my rent and other bills for about 8 months on my own, but during that time started having serious car trouble. 

So I would have to take money from the rent to fix the car, this happed about 3 or 4 times, which made my rent go up each month.

I was late considerable  and with all the late fees, it became very tough for me. 

I could never get out of that hole to even buy a bed to sleep on (the whole time I slept on the couch).  

Well of course eventually, I fell so far behind I was evicted. 

The only area that would accept me at that time without a credit check was in a very bad neighborhood, which is where I live now.

  At first I tried to make the best of it but every couple weeks, sometimes every week someone is getting shot at or shot and killed. There is a bridge about about 1/2 block from my house and just past that bridge is 1 of many drug houses (PLUS neighborhood prostitutes hang under the bridge).

It's getting too close to home because there was another shooting that happened about 2 weeks ago,  it happened just past that bridge at the drug house and 2 people got killed.  the Night the shooting occured, I heard someone talking outside my window and looked out and there was a guy crouched down hiding  behind the plastic chair I have on the porch. 

Well I looked out again a few seconds later and he was crossing the street looking back at my house waving ( I guess letting me know he was leaving). I saw some cop cars going in the direction of the bridge and went outside and saw 2  or 3 ambulances and about 4 or 5 cop cars.  

I found out a few days later that the guy hiding on my porch, was 1 of the guys that tried to rob that drug house they killed 1 guy inside of the house, but also the robbers lost 1 of their men who died in the alley way.  

Well that’s not all, the guys that attempted the robbery were talking about retaliating because they lost one of their own men when the robbery went wrong, ( which they did the day  of their partners funeral, they shot up the drug house again).

It's too many bad things happing in this neighborhood,  last week my neighbor and I watched a car purposely run over a dog, the dog was hurt so bad he could not walk, well he was facing oncoming traffic and a jeep ran over him the 2nd time. 

The Jeep was kind of high off the ground so I don't know how much damage it did.  I did not know who to call other than the police, I was shaking and my neighbor was crying.  The police did send someone,  animal control, which I called the next day and found out they  had to put the dog to sleep. 

I am at my wits end and don't know how much longer I can take living here, I’m nervous too even leave my house most of the time because I think someone will break in and rob me.

I don't have much here but the little I have is all I have.  Scared a bullet may come through the window or the wall.   The bad part is you can't here the shooting because of the bridge, It's an over pass with trucks and cars going over it 24/7 so it's loud so I never know when to take cover.  That's just some of the things that  I have had to deal with living here.  But the list goes on.

Sorry for rambling on and on, I guess I had to get it off my chest.

I am trying to raise enough money to pay my landlord up to date and move out of here as soon as possible to a better neighborhood.  With 1 week or so and don't have the money I need to do so. 

Moving from this place will definitely give me piece of mind.  And then I will be able to sleep again at night.

I don't have much so I don't have any rewards I would be able to give, other than offering my Prayers for you.  Please find it in the kindness of your heart to help me get out of this nightmare. 

Thank you and God Bless Natasha
