Hello, my name is Blake and I'm reaching out to all of my friends, family, and community to ask for a favor. I have been working a lot the past few years. I am the sole provider for my growing family, and I have struggled quite a bit to provide for them, especially as of recently with car issues.

I want to continue to work and provide for them, but the transmission in my van has blown and it is going to be quite costly to repair it. I don't make a whole lot of money, and I still owe quite a bit on my van. I currently lease my van through one of those low credit/lease-to-own situations, and it has been burdening my budget for quite some time.

I need help getting back on my feet and doing what I love, working at restaurants, and providing for my family. I'm just trying to make an honest living and life has not been kind to me recently. I'm going to make a list of things that have been burdening my family, and any help getting me out of the hole and on track to thriving and being a better provider for my family is greatly appreciated.

The money donated will go to some pressing financial struggles hurting our family.

1. Our car repairs and paying it off

2. Bills that have fallen behind because of my loss in hours at work without reliable transportation.

3. Replacing or repairing some of the essential appliances in our house that we no longer have or can use. (Washing machine, dryer, oven, dish washer)

4. Repairing our flooring for our kids room.
