Hello and Merry Christmas to all to is reading this.
Im about to ask the most embarrassing yet honest favour of anyone willing to help me. This is the hardest thing Ive had to in a long time ....... but I'm desperate. I hate admitting that. So please don't judge or say anything that would be rude. This has been the hardest week so far even though I've been trying to handle everything as gracefully as any mother could. Be kind ❤
Our back story......
We lived in Red Deer. My step father who had lived in wetaskiwin became sick with cancer. Our family was devastated. For the 1st 6 months we travelled from red deer to wetaskiwin almost weekly to help with chores around the house and yard. Also to bring cheer to the old man. We were not aware of the severity of his situation. By summer we were moving closer to be there for my parents. By October he had passed leaving my mother and all of who knew and loved him broken and completely unsure of mom's future with us. They were together for 20 years. My mother took it so hard. I couldn't leave her. Mostly because she had her own health issues and had little to no help. So we stayed with her for most of the 1.8 years hes been gone. It hasn't been an easy road...... there have been a lot of obstacles this year with new ones every other day. Which is why I'm asking for help. Usually just making it through.
I had given up working so I could care for my mom. I had been on EI this past year and I lost my phone 2 weeks ago I couldn't afford to get another for another week. So I had no idea what had happened till this past Friday....... my heart just breaks thinking of this.
This world has made a lot of people cold hearted. My trouble started when my phone was taken by a family member. Smh Whoever it was hacked all my personal information including my banking and cra.
I have been trying to catch up on bills since July. So I hadn't gotten any gifts....... which is what I was going to spend on my family's gifts. I don't get child tax rn. I was ahead enough where I could have afford this spendy holiday. I have no money for dinner, treats, crafty art, Santa pics, no nice Christmas outfits that would match (how I usually would), gifts for anyone in my family including my kids (2 boys 8 and 12, 2 girls 3 and 11) no christmas decorations or lights for outdoors (I have to still replace alot of the stuff I had lost in the last 2 years.... I had everything for Christmas. Believe me when I say I used to love Christmas.
I am trying my hardest to be a good mom. I just feel like I trusted the wrong people in my vehicle but instead of being honest and returning it they sent my life on a spiral that I have no control over. What's worst they wouldn't return my phone and no one has fessed up. I do know who the money was sent to and an investigation has started but the bank has also told me that I wouldn't see anything until after the 14 days..... this happened Friday.
If you have read this plea just know I'm so sorry that I'm asking a lot for most people right now. I know everyone's going through a lot. I'm asking for a hand up. Bless this family that so deserves to feel the christmas cheer. Merry christmas I hope to hear from someone soon..... ❤
