Hi everyone, my name is Kim, and I am reaching out during an incredibly difficult time on behalf of my dear friend Latanya - a devoted single mother of four beautiful children, ranging in age from 1 to 14 years old.

Unfortunately, Latanya's car engine blew the day before her birthday this past weekend. This is the second engine failure she's experienced in the last 12 months, and she's had terrible luck finding a reliable vehicle. Without a car, life has become incredibly challenging. As many of you know, getting around this area without transportation is nearly impossible, and the last few days have been especially hard for them.

Latanya currently attends beauty school in Moosic, working towards her dream of becoming a licensed cosmetologist and opening her own business. But without a way to get to class, that dream is now on hold.

Despite everything, Latanya remains one of the most resilient, hardworking, and joy filled people I know. Her faith, strength and determination are inspiring. If you've ever been lucky to share a room with her, you've probably heard her infectious laugh; it's the kind that can lift a room. Watching her and her children go through these struggles is heartbreaking, but her spirit never wavers.

I am raising funds to help cover the cost of a reliable vehicle, or a down payment toward one, so Latanya and her family can regain their independence and stability.

Every donation - no matter how small - makes a difference. And if you are unable to give financially, simply sharing our campaign and keeping Latanya in your prayers would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for any kindness, love, and support you can offer. We are deeply grateful.

With Love, Kim
