I am a single mother whose life is a testament to fierce dedication and love. I am the sole caregiver for my two adult sons, both of whom are on the autism spectrum. One of My sons also manages the challenges of Bipolar Disorder, making their daily routine complex and demanding.

The Critical Need for a Reliable Car

Right now, my biggest hurdle is relying on my mom for going places. As I’m currently relying on my mom or other people to get where I need to be. For a family managing significant medical needs and relying on my ability to work, this isn't just an inconvenience—it's a crisis that jeopardizes their health, financial stability, and peace of mind. I can’t do public transportation as I live out to be able to do that, and using an Uber will cut into what I have to save up. Since I live out of range for public transportation, using services like Uber would significantly reduce the amount I am trying to save.

Reliable transportation is essential for this family to thrive, not just survive.

Why This Car Matters

Essential Medical Access: Regular medical appointments are non-negotiable for my sons. These include psychiatric evaluations, and specialist appointments necessary to manage their autism and Bipolar Disorder. Missed appointments due to relying on others can have serious and destabilizing consequences for their health. We need a reliable car to ensure consistent, safe travel to these vital medical visits.

Maintaining Financial Stability: I work incredibly hard, often by traveling to various events, shows, or markets to make a living. Since I don’t have a car, I lose income, directly impacting my ability to provide housing, food, and necessary resources for my sons. A newer, reliable car means consistent work and a stable income stream, allowing her to keep the family afloat.

Safety and Peace of Mind: Dealing with adult sons who have special needs, particularly during an episode related to Bipolar Disorder, requires the absolute certainty that I can get them home safely and quickly.

We are launching this campaign to raise $12,000 to cover a significant down payment on a newer, safe, and dependable vehicle. A substantial down payment will lower her monthly payments, making the car ownership financially sustainable for Christina in the long run.

This is not a request for a luxury vehicle. This is a crucial appeal for a means of transportation that provides security, health access, and the ability for Christina to work and maintain her family’s quality of life.
