I’m Alicia, and I’m starting this fundraiser for myself and my household. In February, I went through a mental health crisis that left me unable to work. During that time, my husband had to take time off from work to care for me and keep our household going. That loss of income quickly put us behind on rent, and in an effort to keep us afloat, I took out a loan on my car. Then things became even harder when my husband had to switch jobs, which set us back even more. By July, we were evicted and had to move in with my sister while we tried to catch up. On top of everything else, because food had to come first, we couldn’t keep up with the car loan and my car was repossessed.

Right now, I’m asking for help so we can pay off the balance on the car, get it back, and receive the title so we can finally get out from under this debt. Getting my car back would help us regain some stability and start moving forward again after months of setback after setback. I hate that I am even having to ask for help, but I truly need support to stay on track and get us where we need to be. If you’re able to give, share, or simply keep us in your thoughts, it would mean so much to me and my family.
