Please don’t judge me. Please be kind, it’s been a very hard year. If you know me well enough, you know I rarely ask for help. I know there are many out there struggling and it’s ok if you can’t help. I understand. I’m in a position where I feel like I have too.

I am a very independent mom of four. I’ve always taken care of the older two children myself. I pride myself on giving them a good life, in a healthy home. It’s why we moved. To stay healthy. I needed to move. I’ve gotten further than I thought I would. I bought a trailer so we can have a permanent home. All my money in October went into it. In November I paid $700 to fix my car. She’s over 200,000 miles but she’s been well taken care of before I bought her. I’ve got good brakes but I need snow tires. Honestly even two would make me very happy. I have been driving to Erie to meet up with the kid’s father every month. I am court ordered to do so. It’s very expensive but on top of my regular bills. I also have an 18 day break at work. The factory I work in shuts down for Christmas and new years. The entire break makes it so I miss an entire paycheck. I could have bought snow tires with that.

Please, even $5 helps. Help a mom in need. I’m doing my best here, I always do. All I need is snow tires.
