I'm raising money to keep afloat amidst troubled waters. In the recent past both myself and the mother of my special needs son have been downsized from our previous jobs,leaving us little to nothing to care for our child

In times past, I have been too proud to ask for help... especially while being the 'strong' one that others once leaned on. It has been said that 'pride goeth before the fall...' and so, the title of my ask is inspired by a song of the same name ("I Believe in Miracles" by the Jackson Sisters) that at this moment is so very timely, inspirational and uplifting . The idea and arrival of a miracle is what I am embracing in order to help out at this most challenging time. In the recent past I have become a single dad, and custodial parent of my special needs son,Ajani whom is a semi-high functioning on the autism spectrum. He requires lots of attention and is challenged with certain motor skills, which also means that I administer his daily meals as he is incapable of cooking for himself. He is currently going through his last year of high school at a facility with others like him in southwest Illinois and I alone have had to care for him, waking him up to get him up and off each morning and being present after school in order to keep his daily routine somewhat consistent after his mom had to take a job in Richmond, Virginia just before the school year began last August due to downsizing by her previous employer. The same fate has since befallen my previous employer in November 2024, thus forcing me out and into a less than convenient need to still earn income to keep things afloat. Oddly enough in the first few months of my single parenting it was made clear to me that even if I wanted to work another full time position, I cannot because I don't have a 'village' or help with childcare for him. I was able to obtain another part time assignment in January of this year, but the work is sporadic (something I didn't know before applying and accepting the offer) and not nearly enough to live off of. Additionally, I had the privilege of driving a company car on my previous job, but am now without transportation.
At this time I am seeking help to prevent my home from going into foreclosure and for funds to get a vehicle, plus eating, etc. I solemnly state that I have not been a slouch in the meantime, and while seeking other opportunities I have released an album of original instrumental music independently, of which I am the composer. I am also a natural healer and as such I use sound to assist people via crystal singing bowls and tuning forks, as well as energy through the Japanese healing art form known as Reiki. In addition to the album launch, I have launched my website which allows patrons the opportunity to listen to and purchase my music, plus book private sound healing sessions, original commissions and deejay services.
The miracle would thus be to save my home, get a car, and be able to care for my son while working from home through the music and God-given gifts that I possess. I sincerely thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
