Help Me Reclaim My Car and My Stability
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Margaret, and I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging times of my life. I’m asking for help raising $1,814.27 by July 2, 2025, so I can get my car back from repossession.
In January, I purchased this vehicle with the intention of rebuilding stability and moving forward. But within weeks, my world was turned upside down—I lost both my job and my housing. I’ve spent the months since trying to survive: staying in motels when I could afford it, crashing on friends’ couches when I couldn’t, and sometimes sleeping in my car when there was nowhere else to go.
On top of that, I was in an abusive relationship that drained my resources and worsened my PTSD. I’ve always worked hard and paid my bills, but the convergence of these crises pushed me beyond my limits. Falling behind on my car payments was never something I intended or took lightly. The car isn’t just transportation—it’s a lifeline to future work, safety, and self-sufficiency.
I’m doing everything I can to recover and rebuild. But right now, I can’t do it alone. If you’re in a position to help—even a small amount—it would mean the world to me. Every dollar helps me get closer to reclaiming not just my car, but my footing.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for supporting me in this moment. Please consider sharing if you’re not able to give.
With gratitude,
Margaret
