Hey guys my name is Britney. I am a mom of a beautiful little girl, as well excepting a little boy in December. Creating this go fund me comes from a place of severe struggle. It's never easy to reach out to the world and ask for a helping hand. If you wouldn't mind taking the time to read a little bit of our back story and why we need help, we would be extremely grateful. Back in December 2024, my boyfriend went through extreme depression. It was slowly getting worse, he finally brought it to my attention that something wasn't right. My first instinct, being someone who deals with depression and anxiety. Was to get him to the doctor immediately, he was an amazing dad and a hard worker and yet he still had these feelings that he wasn't enough for anything in his life. The doctor prescribed him an antidepressant and made sure he wasn't having any feelings of wanting to not be alive. As many of you know it does take some time for the medicine to actually work and to even notice a difference. As a few weeks had passed he noticed he was not only feeling numb but extremely tired. We went to his follow-up appointment and addressed these new concerns with the doctor. He then was prescribed another medicine called Wellbutrin. It only took one week for this medication to drastically impact him. He gave up on everything, he truly believed that he didn't deserve to be here and he wasn't meant to be a dad or a family man. This for me as a mother that desperately wants her kids to stay clear of any trauma and chaos, was, to say the least devastating. This lasted about a month, and during this period, he was laid off from work. He didn't know why he was doing it or making the choices he did. Finally, he got himself to the doctor and was told that the medicine he was on was an extremely dangerous combination. We were able to get into therapy, as well as take all the actions we could to save our family. We have come a long way from that situation. Sadly we did lose our townhome from the struggle of finding employment in southern Utah. We were able to get our stuff up to Northern Utah, where we are currently. We both have landed some incredible jobs, his leading down the path of electrical work. Mine is in the path of customer service/office work. Our one-year-old just started daycare and sadly has already gotten very sick with a severe ear infection and hand foot and mouth. It has been a minor setback for us but nothing has stopped us from pushing for success for our family. We also have a seventeen-year-old brother that we took on a couple of years back. He also just scored a job. We have been staying in a family living room in two bedroom trailer that's been packed. The feeling of not having a home and the exhaustion in general of trying to get our family back on its feet has been unreal. I broke down and then got back up again. We are good people, who sadly have made about 10,000 mistakes along the way. We live in a world where there is no room to mess up anymore. With rent prices so insane and the inflation of literally everything it has been tough. I am not giving up hope! We first applied at a low-income housing, we thought for sure this was it and we were going to have a cute little apartment. They said I couldn't work in order to live there and I didn't have a job yet so our main focus was just to have a home. Well, we went to the local bishop as I am a member of the church. We meant with him and explained all the pain our little family has been facing. Telling him that we genuinely needed help. He, unfortunately, turned us away and said that was not what his church funds were for. He then continued to explain that the reason my life was facing so much trial and tribulation was that I was not practicing my faith properly and allowing my Heavenly Father in my life. He wasn't happy with us not being married and he also said he wasn't happy with government programs such as low-income housing. After this interaction, my stomach felt sick. I had never meant a bishop who judged or turned you down when you were truly in need of help. I continued to search for any property management that would accept us with a ding on our renter's history, from leaving a lease early. Finally, I found a place that appreciated our honesty and was willing to work with us. They knew we had filed bankruptcy, they understood the ding on our renter's history. We can move into a townhome this upcoming Friday, 7/28/23. We don't have the funds currently but do not want to miss out on getting a home for our family. We all finally have jobs and are so close to being stable again. If anyone reading this understands this struggle or has it in their heart to help our family, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am an excellent mother and I just need a place to raise my babies. In summary, all funds will be used for the move-in costs of the townhome. The monthly rent is $1,750, the deposit is $1,750, the lease initiation fee of $100. If you are someone local and you are needing yardwork or help with anything we as a family would love to help in after work hours. We are short on time, please help my family. Thank you so much for your time. If you need proof of anything involving the situation please feel free to reach out. We are completely open and vulnerable regarding the situation.
