LIMA — Britney, like many single working mothers, has her hands full during this holiday season.
Unlike many single working moms, Britney was recently evicted from her home.
Compounding that problem is the fact she has a pair of daughters, ages 9 and 11, in tow.
“The landlord had no valid reason to kick us out, but she cited a lack of rent,” Britney explained.
Ostensibly, the children’s father has been out of the picture; Britney preferred not to discuss the invisible man.
She and her girls have since found new digs, where the eldest does a fair share of chores around the home.
On the employment front, things are looking up for Britney, who has become a store manager at Dollar General. She has worked at the store for upward of three years.
Also on the plus side, COVID-19 hasn’t played a part in the family’s struggles; neither Britney nor her daughters have endured setbacks due to the coronavirus. In addition, she didn’t bemoan any protracted trips to an emergency room or mention any surgeries that put her family in financial straits.
Britney has not benefited from any form of financial aid, other than her parents pitching in on occasion.
In turn, the family could use more clothing and footwear for the winter. Their sizes are as follows:
The youngest daughter needs girls’ size 9-10 and wears shoe size 4; the 11-year-old requires size 14-16 attire and shoes in women’s size 8; while Britney wears XL shirts and size 9 shoes.
Britney expressed gratitude for the Adopt A Stocking program, the Salvation Army and others who are able and willing to lend a hand.
“I definitely appreciate their help,” she said. “It’s been a struggle as a single parent raising two kids in a household.”
