I’m Lakia, and I’m asking for help during one of the hardest times I’ve faced. About a month and a half ago, my brakes went out. I knew they needed to be fixed, but I simply did not have the money to repair them. Then after getting off work one day, I could not stop my car and had to crash into a gate to avoid something even worse. The accident damaged my front end and side door, and because I only had no-fault coverage, my insurance could not help. Since then, I have been without a car, and everything has started to fall behind. My water bill is now around $1,000, my electric bill is almost $700, and I am behind on my mortgage with another payment coming up. I work, but without a car, I cannot pick up extra shifts to make enough to catch up. 
 
 
 I am starting this fundraiser because I do not want to lose the home I own, and right now I have no help from family or friends. The funds will help me buy a car, pay off my water and electric bills, and catch up on my mortgage so I can start fresh and manage my bills on time again. I’m doing my best to keep going, but I truly cannot do this alone. Any donation, no matter the size, would mean the world to me. If you are not able to give, please consider sharing my fundraiser. Your support, kindness, and prayers would help me get back on my feet and hold on to my home.
