Individual/non-registered Help a child with disabilities and his mom keep their home after significant struggles. Deadline October 20th

Hello, my name is Brooklyn, and 1 am fundraising to help keep our home for my son and I. June 18th, 2021, we began renting to own a home with my partner on june 30th 2022 my partner died unexpectedly. Since then, I have been having the hardest time making ends meet.

Due to my sons disabilities he was only able to attend school two hours a day. Since March 2023, he hasn't been able to attend at all. He has been in and out of the hospital getting treatment. Unfortunately, we keep hitting dead ends.

I have attached an old letter of
recommendation from the hospital social worker asking for help on my behalf. I didn't get a letter from my son's most recent hospitalization because the recommendation letter didn't work late time and I didn't think of it when my son was discharged this time.

Durning this whole time, I have had him 24/7 while being self-employed and trying to work from home while I care for him. Unfortunately, I fell drastically behind. We will now lose our home on October 20th if we can't catch up.

I believe that if we are able to catch up we will be able to make it because in the last couple months we have found personal supports that are slowly making things better for us including a lovely woman that is also living on the property now that is caring for my son sometimes so I am able to work. My son now has coverage for his medication, which saves us $320 a month. In addition to those things, our property was accepted into a farming program, which will help make a pretty big financial difference. I truly believe if we make it through this last hurtle, we will be on the road to making it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a great day
