Hello my name is Beth Ann Shrout.

I have asked God to guide me in reaching out to my fellow people in these trying times and to give me the strength to ask for help.

Gofundme encourages people to create fundraising based on many variables but no less wants you to take the step to ask for help. It takes one donor to make a difference!

Such a direct approach and the approach I need in this moment. I am swallowing my pride and letting the wall I’ve built up in independence, fall. I have accepted that I can’t do it alone.

Due to quite unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances, we unexpectedly and very unprepared have to move. I can handle that! But the expenses that arise with such a disposition have taken everything away from my goal of buying another car!! Something so simple in so many lives can be taken for granted and when you go without a vehicle and find yourself pulling a red wagon to get groceries and wearing a backpack to carry what you can from the store three days a week to get to where you need to be you just do it. I don’t wait for a ride and I typically don’t ever ask for one unless I have an appointment outside Corry. Again it’s embarrassing to have to come to this but it’s life and real and I’m not going to pretend for a minute that I’m okay. I’m not okay.

I am a single mother of an 11 year old precious daughter working towards a goal that seems unrealistic! Used vehicle prices have skyrocketed in just that past decade to a degree in which our wages have not! We can all relate in so many ways. I need a miracle. I true life changing blessing and that is the blessing of help. I’m a hard working single woman that just can’t get there. Please help me reach my goal of vehicle ownership. Publicly announcing this is embarrassing yet humbling. I am only human! I can’t keep pretending. I’m so beyond depressed not having transportation that it’s effecting the quality of my life and the lives of my family members. Unbelievably difficult to be successful when you can’t get there to strive. My senior mother lives with myself and my daughter and relies on me in many ways. My father has been battling bladder cancer the past year and also needs my support. My sister has severe medical conditions and also has zero transportation.

If you find it in your heart and wallet to lend a hand to a fellow friend, neighbor and mother you will not be forgotten. I will always pay it forward.

So every penny I can raise toward a vehicle will be displayed for all to see. Once achieved I will provide all documentation of proof of purchase to where every one of your hard earned dollars helped me reach my goal!!

God Bless You and may love and light be with you.

I know I can achieve great things with my many talents. I know how much more I can do just by having a car!

I have no boyfriend, husband or significant other!

I have no credit- not bad credit, none established as I own everything and have no real debt!

I have no co-signer!

I have no assets!

I have no wealthy family!

I have assessed and weighed every option imaginable!

I cannot get a ride with JD BYRIDER because of the way I claim my self employment as a reseller and artist!

I don’t receive child support!

I don’t receive welfare!

I work and love it!

And when I get my vehicle I will give you a ride! Toot toot!
