Help Melissa and Nathan Get Back on the Road

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mariah, and I’m reaching out to ask for help for two incredible people—my mom, Melissa, and my stepdad, Nathan Bale.

Over the past year, they’ve been hit with multiple financial challenges. One of their vehicles broke down and was beyond repair, leaving them with only one car—but still two car loans to pay off. Recently, their only working vehicle also broke down, leaving them with no way to get to work, take care of daily responsibilities, or transport their daughters.

They are currently without transportation, and it’s been a major burden. Melissa and Nathan still have two daughters in school—one of whom is on the autism spectrum and needs to attend regular therapy sessions. Not having a vehicle is making everything even more difficult.

Melissa and Nathan have always been the kind of people who give everything they can to others. They take care of their friends and family without hesitation and live their lives grounded in faith, kindness, and the power of prayer. Now, they need our help.

We’re asking for $5,000 to help them get their vehicle fixed. If we are blessed to raise more than that, any extra funds will go toward paying down one of the remaining vehicle loans and helping ease their financial stress.

Even if you can only give a dollar, please consider sharing this page and lifting them up in prayer. Every bit of support means so much and brings them one step closer to getting through this difficult time.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for any help you can offer.
