Hello Everyone,

My name is Hector Rivera and I live in a town called Chino Valley in Arizona. I am a 70-year-old senior citizen who has served in the military and after service became an educator to wonderful children who are our future leaders. In the past few years, my income has decreased due to COVID and many other factors.

On Friday, at a stop light in Prescott Valley, my car just completely died. With the small income I had, it cost me to tow my car to a mechanic to get it diagnosed and also to the car dealership. Now there is no way to take care of this situation. I have always been on time with my car payments; however, I was told that I needed $2,000 to get into another used vehicle. The ironic thing is that I am 9 months away from paying off the vehicle that died.

Right now, I am without a vehicle and it makes it difficult to purchase food for my 2 dogs, Tito (4) and Joy (1 year and 3 months old) (my babies). It will also make it difficult to teach my children's dance classes that I teach on Thursday.

Any size donation will help. My faith in God is what keeps me strong and I pray that I can get the help I need to continue my teaching, pay my bills, and most importantly take care of my dogs and myself. If you are reading this, I am very thankful to you. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOD BLESSED DAY!
