My name is Jacob Ellinger. I'm a husband, father of 5 beautiful children, former patient of Shriners Hospital for Children, Christian, and a genuine/kind person. Our family is in desperate need of financial support. We are active people in our community and truly care about others.

I was out of work for months. We had to drain what we had for retirement to pay for lawyer fees.... We're behind on rent, electric and we are in need of a new vehicle. I did start a new job and my wife is home with our chronically ill daughter. (So, we no longer qualify for assistance.) Currently, in the mix of everything, we were/are trying to get more time with my 4 children. We need to get a second vehicle to get to appointments and something big enough to fit a family of 7. Also, if you have any leads on a reasonably priced vehicle, please let us know. I feel ashamed to even ask for help, and I will pay it forward whenever/wherever I can. If you have the ability to help us, any amount will do wonders. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God bless.
