Homeless family of 7 needs help

Donation protected
We need your help! This family is now homeless and trying to get to Mibile Alabama. All the shelters in the Coachella Valley are booked and have no room... so this is urgent. The situation is this....Their truck broke down on the way to Alabama and so they checked into a hotel and purchased a new radiator. The husband tried to install it but because of a rare disease that is causing him to go blind he couldn’t do it properly. They also couldn’t afford to hire a mechanic and ended up spending every dime they had on a hotel. They became homeless, sleeping in the car and staying inside a laundry mat during the day to keep cool. Thankfully some amazing mechanics stepped forward to fix the truck, which will be totally done by Monday. Also, a volunteer with the StreetLifeProject, who was once homeless herself, has graciously offered them a room in her apartment until Monday. Now we just need to raise some gas money to help get this family home. Alabama is 1,890 miles away and if the truck averages 18 miles per gallon, with an average cost of $3.70 gallon, it's going to cost them $388 in gas. If we all give a little we can bless this family at a time everything seems hopeless!!!!
