Hello everyone. I just want to thank you in advance for even reading my story. My name is Lynda Macias and I am writing this for my amazing wife who needs financial help. Karina is a loving, caring and an extremely hardworking woman. She came to the United States with her Father, when she was 14, knowing very little English. She attended high school, but never graduated due to the fact that she was unable to pass her exit exams senior year. Karina not only received extra help, but she went above and beyond to get an extra help she can. Unfortunately, she gave it her all, but she did not succeed. When I met my wife, within a year I was able to motivate her to take the GED. At first, she was very reluctant and I knew there had to have been more than just the language barrier preventing her from attending GED courses. Finally, with tears in her eyes, she admitted she was bullied in school because of her accent. I assured her I would be by her side every step of the way and in every way possible. I put out my hand and she took mine and if you could see the look of relief and determination on her face you would all become emotional. Karina took the classes for three months, at a local church for free being funds are low, and along with my help she was feeling confident and empowered. Unfortunately, Karina failed the test by 30 points. At the time, she was a manager at a retail store. She started as sales clerk and worked her way up to assistant manager withing three years. Karina, an immigrant, proved she took pride in her work and that the work ethics that her Father instilled upon her meant the world to her, as did her Father. Sadly, her Father passed away in 2010 and he never got to see his youngest daughter succeeded. NOW is where she desperately need your help. Because Karina could not pass the GED, which she took 3 times and the last time she failed only by 10 points, she has since lost her well paying job. She can not afford her car payments, so she lost her car. As her wife, I am doing the best I can. Karina has three jobs, no days off. I got laid off from my job due to budget cuts and school closings, but I do tutor and work with children until I get back into teaching. I send out resumes daily. I have to say this is a little embarrassing and at times I feel like I am failing my amazing, beautiful, wife. She loves me unconditionally which is exactly why I am putting my pride to the side and leaving this up to the powerful almighty GOD!! Please, all donations are welcomed and none are too small. Maybe you have car that you don't use or need any longer. No donation is too small everything is appreciated from bottom of Karinas and my heart Thank you!

Sincerely,

Karina and Lynda Macias
