I’m a single mom doing my best to keep up while working full time and caring for my kids, but I’ve fallen behind financially and I’m asking for help getting through this. Right now I’m trying to juggle rent, food, gas, car payments, and a loan I had to borrow just to get by. I also tried to seek help through cash aid, but unfortunately I was unable to get assistance.

This has affected our day-to-day life in a very real way. I depend on my car to get to work and to take my kids to school, so when I fall behind on payments, it puts even more pressure on everything else. There are times when it’s hard to provide food because I’m also trying to manage gas and bills and somehow make every dollar stretch.

Right now, the most urgent needs are:

• Food
• Light bill: $618
• Car payment: $620
• Negative bank account balance: $560
• Loan repayment: $600

Any support will go first toward food, then my light bill, and then my car payment, which are my most important priorities right now.

If you’re able to donate or share my fundraiser, it would mean so much to me and my kids. Your help would give us some breathing room and help me keep working, keep my car going, and keep taking care of my family. Thank you for taking the time to read and support us.
