Help Reunite a Family in Crisis

Donation protected


Most people that know my wife Jennifer and I, you know we are not the type of people to turn and hold our hand out for help. As you can see I am setting it up as my wife just could not bring herself to do it.


My family's power has been terminated now for 4 months, and we are about to be evicted off of a rental lot where we own the trailer, which means we lose our home. I have included in the pictures above a screen shot of our light bill along with a screen shot of what we owe in lot rent. If we get evicted we will not have the means to move our trailer any where else so this is the reason we would lose our home. If we loss our home we will then be homeless living in our truck and honestly the next thing I will be telling you about will wind up taking years to end, just so we can get back on our feet.


DSS got a false call all because the person that made the call got mad for not getting their way, and in turn has taken my 4 babies away from Jennifer and I. Our well not so babies are Billy & Debbie the twins age 7, John age 8, and Lisa 17 years old. They all 4 had a birthday resently in June and in August which we the parents had no control over and could have no contact and we will never get rhis birthday back. Before DSS will allow the babies to come home, this must be resolved in full. We have not been given any kind of heads up about when they expect things to happen yet. The only thing we had left was a class they wanted us to. They were supposed to get a referral sent in for us to start them 2 months ago. We ended up finding a place to take the classes our selfs. There are a total of 10 classes that we have to attend in order to complete the course. As of 9/10/2025 we have completed a total of 4 classes. We had to miss 1 last month and we will

be missing 1 this month so far due to court. The class cost $50 and we have to pay for it in order to get the credit for doing the classes.


Every time we get a little money to put towards the 2 bills, something takes it or another bill is due that we have to pay in order to continue working to make money. If its not one of those we have to fix something on our truck. AND you would literally have to see it to believe it but when we fix something on our truck we get to working and 1 to 2 hours tops later we are having to pull over with a flat tire. Honestly I can not make this up. We do not have a spare tire or the tools to be able to change it our

selfs to keep working and never have tue extra money to try and get one. So that interns us taking the little bit of money that we had made in thay short time on calling a tow truck. Then we have to pray that we can borrow the money and a ride to get a new tire the next day. So that makes us start out in the hole the next workable day. There are still several things that need to be fixed or changed on the truck BUT no money to do so. When driving and hitting the breaks to come to a stop the truck jerks to the left. It is even worse when it rains. If you are not paying attention or dont have your hands tightly snugg on the wheel it can be a really bad day! There is times that if you do not have to fully stop and take your foot off the break then it snatches back to the right. We already changed the front breaks about a month ago as we could only afford to do those at the time, but they never quick squirming. We started hearing really bad scrubbing about a week and a half to 2 weeks ago and have found that the back breaks need done like 2 weeks ago. I looked at them the other day and they are so gone we are now metal on metal. If they are not squealing then they are scrubbing. Some how a while back when filling up the oil the oil cap went missing. We went to buy one and when putting it on it was very loss even though that was the correct cap it would not click into place. I'm not sure if that

could cause a problem or not. As far as I know the only other thing that needs to be done is better dim lights. The ones we have now they are really hard to see anything when driving at night.


I believe this has been the worst thing that has ever happened to my wife and I. It is definitely taking a mental and a physical toll on us. I checked the other day and I have lost around 30 lbs since this all started. My wife never got on a scale to check hers out but you can look at her and tell a really big difference. With us not having power we are not able to cook anything at home, so we end up having to eat out. We were getting a little foodstamps that helped some. I would have to guess we turned our paperwork in late for our recertification because we have not gotten them, this is the 2nd month. We would get canned goods to just eat out of the or get bread and peanut butter. We are at the point now that we eat about half the month and just dont eat the other half of the month.


I've just hit a bad spot, and I'm praying and asking for help in reuniting with our family. There is nothing to big nor to small. I know that things are tough for everyone right now. Even if you can not afford to help by donating please say a prayer for our family and share out to any and every where you can. If you have any questions about anything or you would rather send to a different account, please feel free to get in contact with myself ir my wife Jennifer. God bless you all, and from the bottom of our hearts the Daw family thanks you all in advance.
