Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I’m a single mom of two amazing children. I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’d need to ask for help like this, but life has hit us with several hard moments all at once.

Recently, my car’s engine completely blew, leaving me without reliable transportation. Before this happened, I had already drained much of my savings paying for necessary dental work, which made it impossible to absorb another major financial setback. Losing my car has affected everything — getting to work, taking my kids where they need to go, and keeping our daily life stable.

I’m doing everything I can, but right now I’m struggling to come up with the down payment needed for a dependable vehicle. Having a car isn’t a luxury for us — it’s a necessity so I can continue working, caring for my children, and staying on our feet.

All funds raised will go directly toward a down payment on a reliable vehicle so I can get back to providing for my family without constant fear of how we’ll get through each day.

If you’re able to donate, any amount truly helps, and if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser means just as much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read our story and for any support you’re able to give.
