Help Mother of Twin boys get a car
Hello, My name is Mackenzie, and I’m a mother of two beautiful twin boys.
I’m having a really hard time writing this but here it goes.
This year has been beyond a struggle for so many of us out here and it really doesn’t feel like this roller coaster ride we’ve all been in is coming to an end any time soon. We still keep the faith and hope in our heart for a huge turn around.
This year has made even the simplest of things seem like the tallest mountains to overcome.
I am asking for help, not because I want to but because I have to. Times are dwindling down to making ends meet and looking to have a really long winter ahead of us. The beginning of this year we started of great, and in a great direction, then things took a turn.
In May, I was in a pretty terrible car accident. At the time I had been renting a room for an extreme amount of money and working as a Shipt shop driver doing deliveries. This was my only source of income I could do that worked for me and my family, I could make my own schedule and my kids could come with me. Obviously with a pandemic you’re already hesitant to put your children into a daycare, but that wasn’t it for me, it was just that for two children it was virtually impossible for us to afford along with the other expenses we have. That’s okay, because my job gave me the freedom to work and take my kids with me.
More about my accident, I driving with my two boys in the car with me down Flanders road in Riverhead, NY when the car in front decided to abruptly turn off to the side and without hesitation, pulled an illegal Uturn in front of me. I plowed my Minivan into and Tboning his car, then ricocheted off the road into the woods, plowing over trees. My babies and I were thankfully all fine and thank god for the surrounding people who stopped to help me get us out of my car. We were all sent to the hospital and checked out with nothing majorly broken, some contusions and whiplash. As for my car, totaled. Leaving me now without my job or a vehicle to do the basic necessities. Family and friends have helped in any way they could to get us what we needed, but now it’s come to a point where they’ve stretched their limits. I am not someone who like to ask for money or rely on others to get what I need to get done and it’s become a huge burden on me to carry. I’ve struggled now to come up with the funds to get a new and reliable car for us. Any and all moneys I’ve received have gone straight to what we have needed for the boys. (I’m sure you can imagine what that might cost.) but I’m looking for relief for a car. I have tried to finance a vehicle but my credit is terrible and I have no one to co-sign and or help on that level. I had a rental vehicle which had covered me for about three weeks but that is way past gone. In order for me to get back on my feet I’ll need to ask for some help in order for me to fix this. I don’t have any other avenues to get assistance and resources are thin. It took me too long to reach out and ask for help, I just didn’t want to be that person. I’ve been sitting here wracking my brain for too long and I just don’t see any other way out.
If you could help with any relief I would greatly appreciate it. I have asked so many of my friends and family who already know my situation. If you are not in a position or the means are just not available I completely understand. This is a extremely hard time for everyone and I hate that I have to resort to this. If you’d like to PM me to talk even that is a huge help. Thank you again for reading and listening. This momma just wants to get back on her feet and get forward a little bit to help her family. Everything and anything helps.
God bless you guys!! And for anyone who’s in my same boat just know you are NOT alone. We need to stick together and sometimes it takes a village.
”just keep swimming”
