As a single parent to six children and a grandparent to my two grandbabies, I currently have four children and my newborn grandson living with me. Not having a car has made daily life extremely difficult for us. After losing my job and my Jeep on March 14, I’ve struggled to get my kids to school and doctor’s appointments, and even basic errands like grocery shopping have become nearly impossible. Relying on others for rides isn’t always an option, and without steady transportation, it’s been hard to get back on my feet.

We’re hoping to raise enough to purchase a reliable used car with three rows, so everyone in our family can travel together when needed. Having our own vehicle would mean my children and grandbaby could get to school, appointments, and activities without worry. It would also give me the independence to look for work again and take care of our daily needs.

Reliable transportation would truly change our lives. It would give us the freedom to be independent again, help my kids stay on track with their education and health, and allow us to move forward as a family. Any support would make a real difference for us during this challenging time.
