Hi, i'm Jess. I’ve lived in GA my whole life working tirelessly as an aspiring master technician. Unfortunately I am just barely surviving as it is and with the rising housing costs in my area, it's just not feasible try to continue living here.

This move isn't just about me, it's about my little family!

Ellie (Brown) , my protector and ride or die through almost my entire adult life

Maserati (the tall one with the goofy ears) , my goofy boy who loves nothing more than snuggles with his mom and HIS BALL.

And last, but certainly not least... Beans (the small black dog) , my service dog in training who brings a little bit of joy to everyone she meets, but loves her mom more than anything and has an unhealthy obsession with her frisbee.

We have a job waiting in Rapid City, South Dakota, where gas, rent, and other necessities won’t drain every paycheck. Housing is more affordable, and this can give us a chance to rebuild with stability and an opportunity for me to continue to learn and grow in a shop that wants me to succeed. I would have one on one training from the shop owner who has been wrenching for 32 years. Right now, I'm stretched too thin.

My camper has mold, leaky seams, and needs new tires as well as a renovarion before we can use it to live in.

We are going to need gas, food, and a small deposit for a temporary or permanent place to live.

We’ve set a goal to make the move this October, and every dollar, share, or prayer brings us closer to that day. I’m working as hard as I can, but this isn't a moment I don't think I can save my way out of this alone. I don't normally ask for help and I don't like doing so, but this is too perfect of an opportunity for us to not try.

*If you can*, please consider donating. Even a small amount helps more than you might know. If you're able, share this with someone who might care. And if you're struggling too, please know this: your presence, empathy, or thoughts mean the same to me as money. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, caring, and being part of our next chapter.

-Jess, Ellie, Maserati & Beans-
