A Survivor Asking For Help!



Hello, my name is Annette Nave and I'm needing help getting back on my feet. I'm reaching out to anyone anywhere. I've been through a lot in my life. Before my son was born in 1991 I was in an extremely abusive relationship with my son's father. He was an abusive alcoholic, I was beaten within an inch of my life, choke slammed, broken teeth ruptured eardrums and almost lost my son at 3 months pregnant when I was hemorrhaging on the kitchen floor. Fast forward to today and my son is 30 years old with the wisdom of an old soul. I've been a single mom since he came into this world on July 26, 1991...He's the best thing I have ever done in my life and I'm so proud of the man he has become so far!!! I come from a law enforcement and military family. I'm 56 years old and this is the first time in my life I've ever been unemployed, all because of where I used to work an employee had Covid. My unemployment ran out in June and I have been pounding the pavement trying to get a job and finding help from anyone and everywhere imaginable. At my age no one wants to hire me when I'm pushing close to retirement. I'm 3 months behind on my bills, especially my car payments, I won't have money for Christmas dinner this year.  I'm a very loyal, honest and hardworking person and I've done everything I can think of for help. I don't even know how I'll get through Christmas this year without help. I need my car to get back and forth to work when I get a job and to see my family and with that gone I'll literally be out on the street. I trust in my heart, my faith and strength but this isn't exactly how I envisioned my life right now. It's truthfully depressing. I understand bad things happen to good people but it would be a huge blessing for me if anyone could help me financially. I do have a GoFundMe page under my name, Annette Nave. (Just look for: Reaching Out For Help, Help Annette Get Back On Her Feet). I've never been one to ask for help in my entire life, I always helped and did for others and have always put myself aside. I'm just that way, it's how I was brought up to treat others. I love all people, all humanity. I'm a firm believer that everyone deserves a chance, a shot at help, at least once in life, someone that cares about others. I was brought up in that belief and believe me it feels good!! 



I appreciate you all and, from one human being to another, one empowered woman to another, I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart for your help and I thank you all for the good work you all are doing and will do!! Peace, Love and Huge Hugs!!
