My name is David, and I’m working hard to provide a better life for my two kids, Devin (12) and Megan (14). Right now, I rely on rides from friends and family to get to work, doctor’s appointments, and anywhere else I need to go. While I’m grateful for their help, it’s tough to fit my schedule around theirs, and I know it puts a strain on them, too. I work six days a week, including late hours three days a week, and every paycheck goes toward rent and bills. Without my own transportation, I’m often late to work and miss out on important moments with my kids.

Having a truck would change everything for us. I’d be able to work the hours I need to support Devin and Megan, and I could finally see them more often—right now, I only get to visit them about once a month, and the rest of the time we have to settle for phone calls or video chats. With a truck, I could pick them up for weekends, take them shopping for new clothes, and even go bowling together, just like my mom used to do for me and my brother. I want to give my kids the love and experiences I didn’t have growing up, and reliable transportation is the key to making that happen.

I’m reaching out for help because I want to stand on my own two feet and be there for my kids in every way I can. Any support you can offer will go directly toward purchasing a truck, so I can keep my job, be present for Devin and Megan, and build a more stable future for our family. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering a helping hand.
