Story
Hi my name Is Catherine I'm 32 and I have 3children a 5 yr old a 18mnt old and a 9 week old i have just left a violent relationship after 12 years due to the social services giving me a choice which is stay and loose them or flee Mybeautiful home and keep them so after giving birth to My baby 9 weeks ago iv left and am living in different addreses with my 5 year old not even in a school . We have nowhereto go and I have been looking for private rented houses but with no bond or rent in advance . I viewedone tonight and It'sjust perfect but I need 900 befor we could move in and I'mso desperatet to keep My children that i have thought of how i can raise it and so that is why im turning to the internet I appreciate that if you do read my story that you will not be in any position to help me financially so if that is the case may i aask you to share my story and maybe then we may be lucky enough to raise this money so then I can keep My children and not let domestic violence ruin My life thanks for reading My story and I pray to God that I can get what I need for MeAndmy 3 beautiful children
