My name is Malakai, and just three weeks ago, I finally bought a car after saving up for a long time. I’ve also been working hard to save for a new place to live for my family—my two-year-old son and our two dogs. Today, everything changed when I was in a car accident. In an instant, all the progress I made was set back, and now I’m facing a situation I never expected.

With only a couple of weeks left before our move, I’m struggling to figure out how to cover both moving expenses and the cost of a new car. Every last dime I had went into buying that car and securing our new home, and now I’m left feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. My son and our dogs depend on me, and I want to make sure we have a safe place to live and a way to get around.

Me and my family would be so appreciative of any help. Your support would mean the world to us as we try to get back on our feet and move forward. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping us during this difficult time.
