I never imagined I would be in a position where I’d have to ask for help like this, but as a single mother of two, my children mean everything to me—and right now, I’m doing everything I can to keep our lives from falling apart.

Every day, I wake up determined to give my kids the stability, love, and security they deserve. I work hard, juggle responsibilities, and push through even when things feel overwhelming, because that’s what being a parent means to me. But this time, I’ve hit a hurdle I can’t overcome alone.

Due to a hit-and-run incident, my car—our lifeline—has broken down and needs urgent repairs. It’s not just a vehicle to us. It’s how I get to work to provide for my children. It’s how I get them to school, to appointments, and everywhere we need to go just to live our daily lives. Without it, everything becomes uncertain.

Missing work isn’t an option, and neither is letting my children go without what they need. As much as I try to stay strong for them, this situation has been incredibly heavy on my heart.

I’m reaching out with humility and hope, asking for any help you can give. No amount is too small, and even sharing this means the world to us. Your kindness would help me get back on my feet, keep my job, and continue being the mother my children need me to be. I will be posting updates of this process. All funds will be going to repairs and to help cover costs for a rental car in the meantime.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for any support you can offer during this difficult time. It truly means more than words can express.
