<div>Hi everyone, my name is Kayla. I’m a 25-year-old single mom of two amazing kids, and I’m reaching out for a little help during a really tough time.

<div>Back in March 2025, the car I had for five years developed a slow leak that I didn’t know about, which unfortunately caused major engine damage. I still owe around $3,000 on that car, and I’ve been without transportation ever since.

<div>Living here in Louisiana with no family nearby, it’s been incredibly hard to get around with my kids — from getting to work, doctor’s appointments, and school, to handling emergencies. I’ve tried going to dealerships for a replacement, but they require a large down payment or a cosigner, and I simply don’t have that kind of help.

<div>I’ve been working full-time and trying to save what I can, but between childcare costs, paying others for rides, and daily expenses, it’s been almost impossible to save enough to get back on the road.

</div>

</div>

<div>It’s not easy for me to ask for help — honestly, it’s very humbling — but I’m doing this for my kids and to make our lives a little easier and safer. Any amount you can give, no matter how small, would mean the world to us.

</div>

<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can give. ❤️
