Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a single mom of 3 wonderful children, ages 16, 15, and 4. My teenagers have asked that I don't include images of them in anything at this time.

I am trying to repair my vehicle and get a new job after being terminated in January.

The breakdown of what expenses money would go to are:

Car repairs: $1,000 - rear shocks, alignment, and new tires as wires are exposed and it is unsafe to drive.

Rent: $6,000 - March, April, and May rent would be covered by this amount.

MN Energy Natural Gas: $1,400

East Central Electric: $600

Early Years Academy: $900 - to pay past due balance and return my child to preschool.

I have applied for assistance through the county, with our local community action council, and started with Salvation Army.

I need help and I'm terrible at asking for help. With my vehicle being unsafe to drive, I'm unable to DoorDash or Instacart to make ends meet.

Anything helps and I am open to questions.
