My name is Ciara, and I’m doing my best to get by while living in my van. Life has been incredibly tough lately—I don’t have friends or family to lean on, so I’m reaching out to my community for help. My van is not just my transportation, it’s my home, and right now it’s falling apart. Every day, I worry about how much longer it will last and what will happen to me if it breaks down for good.

Fixing my van would mean everything. It would give me a safe place to stay and help me get back and forth to work so I can keep moving forward. Having a reliable van is the first step toward stability and hope for a better future.

Any help that I can get, even just a dollar, means the absolute world to me. I can’t thank you enough for reading my story and considering a donation. My dream is to one day be able to pay it forward and help others in need, just as I hope you’ll help me now.
