Safe travel's
Our Dodge Journey (Family Car):
This is the car we’ve relied on the most — it’s how we get our son to where he needs to be. But it’s no longer safe to drive. It needs:
• A left front axle
• A pair of front struts
We’ve been driving carefully as long as we could, but now it’s become a risk we can’t take. Every bump and turn reminds us we’re one breakdown away from losing our only way to move forward.
Our Ford F-150 (Fiancé’s Truck):
This truck was supposed to be our lifeline. We bought it from someone who we thought was giving us hope. We gave them everything we had — our last savings and even personal belongings — just to get something strong enough to tow our trailer and help us relocate.
But after the sale, we found out the transmission was completely bad (4R75E). The truck won’t even drive forward. We were scammed. We feel devastated, played, and honestly, heartbroken.
My fiancé was ready to do the labor himself — we were willing to push through, work on it day and night, whatever it took — but the cost of the transmission alone is something we just don’t have. We gave everything we had to that sale, and now we’re left broken down with no transportation
Why We’re Asking for Help:
We’re strong people. We’ve fought through a lot. But we’re drained — physically, mentally, and emotionally. We’re trying to raise, like $2,000 or $3,000] to:
• Buy the necessary parts for both vehicles
• Give our family safe, working transportation this is our last resort — reaching out to kind people who might be willing to lend a hand or even just share our story.
What Your Support Means to Us:
We’re not asking for much — just a chance to breathe, to move, to rebuild. Every single dollar, every share, counts
We will forever be grateful to anyone who supports our family during this time. We’ll post updates, stay transparent, and show exactly how your kindness is making a difference.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading our story, and thank you for being here.
With love,
Alizabeth, Keenen, Keenen Jr baby Kayden & Gypsy
