Help Fix Their Van: Support a Kind Family
Donation protected
They Saved Me. Now I'm Asking for Help to Support Them.
Not long ago, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I was battling depression so deep that I could barely function. I was facing eviction. I didn’t know where I was going to sleep or when I’d eat next.
Then, like a miracle, I was taken in by a family who had every reason to turn me away. But they didn’t. They opened their door, gave me a place to stay, made sure I was fed, and most of all, reminded me what it felt like to be cared for when I had nothing left.
Deavon and Chelsea have four children. Their oldest has autism and requires high levels of support. One of their twins was born with Spina Bifida and has several surgeries coming up. Their life is full of daily challenges most of us can’t imagine, and yet, they’ve always made room for someone else in need. For me.
Even now, when I don't have food, they make sure I'm fed. They don’t hesitate. They show up, every single time.
But now, they need help.
Their van, the one they rely on to get their kids to school, therapy, doctor appointments, and upcoming surgeries, is broken. And without it, everything becomes harder. Riskier. More stressful. Especially with children who need specific care.
They won’t ask for help. So I am.
If you’ve ever been saved by kindness… if you know what it means to be held up by someone when you're falling apart… please consider donating to help us get their vehicle fixed. Every dollar counts. Every share matters.
Let’s give back to a family who never stops giving, even when they have so little themselves.
Thank you... for reading, for sharing, for caring.
Every dollar of the donations collected will immediately go to pay the mechanic bill.
