Struggle

Once upon a time, there was this small town girl named Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a very outgoing woman who dreamed of becoming an inked magazine model. Growing up, Elizabeth did not come from money. She always had a crazy imagination. Elizabeth struggled her Whole life trying to always make ends meet. At the age of 16, Elizabeth found out that she was pregnant, one thing led to another and the father wanted no part of her or her daughters life. Elizabeth dropped out of school, worked multiple jobs just to make ends meet. It was like she could never catch a break. Bill after bill, having to be both mom and dad for her child, it was hard and sometimes very overwhelming. Every night Elizabeth dreamed of having a rich uncle that she knew nothing of and she dreamed that one day how cool it would be if he left his fortune to her. As Elizabeth grew older, the stress became very serious to her health. She would cry herself to sleep at night because she never though she’d ever be good enough for anyone, and she felt like she was failing her daughter. Times were hard and she was losing hope and faith. Elizabeth had finally hit rock bottom, begging for a saving grace in hopes that would day, she could eventually have what she always dreamed of having, to better herself, her future, and her child’s future. On December 9,2018 Elizabeth received an unexpected phone call from a number in California.
