I Bought a Used Washing Machine at a Thrift Store – When I Opened It at Home, I Was Speechless!

You know how they say, “When it rains, it pours?” Well, that’s exactly what happened. Everything that could go sideways, did.

The daycare Bella and Lily attended suddenly closed after a COVID exposure. It was so sudden that I didn’t even get a chance to make alternative plans and found myself stuck with the kids at home 24/7.

As if that wasn’t enough, my company “restructured,” which was corporate speak for cutting my pay by a whole 20%! While I was still processing the loss of income, my mom—my only backup—got diagnosed with a heart condition. She needed surgery that Medicare wouldn’t cover fully!

But, I kid you not, the universe was still not done with me.

Within weeks of my mom’s situation, the rent for the house where I lived with the twins increased! Just when I thought nothing else could go wrong, to top it all off, my washing machine died!
