My friend, Carly Marae, from Ripon CA, is an amazing mom and a truly genuine soul who has always put her children first. Recently, she has fallen on hard times financially, which has led to her kids having to stay with family while she herself is living in her car most nights. She is sometimes able to sleep on friends’ couches, but her car is usually her only shelter. Despite working and doing everything she can, she is now two months behind on her car payment—the very car that serves as her only shelter. She’s also behind on her car insurance, phone bill, and a loan, all while navigating a workers’ comp case for an injury she suffered.

The funds raised here will go directly to catching up on these urgent bills, with the top priority being her car payment so she doesn’t lose her shelter. Every dollar will help her keep her car, stay connected through her phone, and relieve some of the stress she’s facing. She is also reaching out to every suggested resource for help, both for the immediate crisis and for longer-term stability.

Carly is doing everything she can to get back on her feet. Any amount you can give will make a real difference and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering a donation to help a wonderful mom and person through this difficult time.

$3,000 will bring Carly current on her car, insurance, phone, and check cash loans. Every cent will go to these bills.

Any donation beyond this amount will go towards her and her boys finding residence together again.
