My name is Jake Barton. I recently was let go from my job at the local sawmill. I have a beautiful wife and 2 children and we survived off that paycheck week to week. We do not get no assistance from the government or state. My wife does work at a fast food restaurant in the next town from us it helps but doesn’t cut it. We had rent due the 1st and have no idea how to pay it. I have applied several places in the next town over from us Salem mo as that’s where she works to. We only have one car that’s on its last leg so that’s a challenge as well. We are currently living in a camper at the moment (yes we are renting a camper) as that’s all that was available in our small town. I’m asking for funding helping with bills,gas,food,diapers etc to keep this place over our head for the time being or maybe even to get us somewhere closer to her work and where it’s easier for me to find work. As I said we only have the one car and that makes it hard for me to find a job other then in the same town as her and sometimes hours don’t add up there. Any and all help would be a appreciated!!

just trying to have my kiddos and family as happy and healthy as they can be!

we are good parents and our kids don’t want for anything! Just times are really tough right now!
