My name is Scott, and I’m reaching out because my family needs help to move out of a motel room and into a real home. I’ve always prided myself on working hard and planning ahead, but this holiday season has brought an unexpected challenge. I’m a truck driver under 1099 contract , which means I don’t have benefits paid holidays or paid time off. My company owner decided to shut down for the holidays, leaving me without the two weeks of work I was counting on to cover our move-in costs.

We’ve finally been approved for a three-bedroom rental home, and the first month’s rent and deposit are due on December 30th. Right now, we’re paying much more each week to stay in a motel that isn’t meant for long-term living, especially for two adults and two children. The new home would give us a safe, stable place to live and help us save money each month. It took over four weeks to get approved for this home, and if we don’t have the funds by the deadline (Dec, 30th) we’ll lose the opportunity to move in.

We are starting from scratch and need furniture for the bedrooms—including beds for our two babies, who are 14 months and 3 months old—as well as a bed for my wife and myself. We also need living room furniture and basic kitchenware like pots, pans, and dishes. As someone who’s always insisted on earning my way, asking for help isn’t easy. But I have no choice—I need to put my family’s well-being first. Please help us cover these relocation expenses and help us furnish our new home so we can finally move into a stable, comfortable place. Your support will make a real difference for my Macee, our children, and me.

This year, there is no Christmas tree. There was no gift exchange between my wife and me, and we were only able to get one gift each for our two babies. The only real gift we’ve been focused on is the hope of this rental home and getting moved out of this roach-infested motel. Your support will help us make this wish come true. Thank you for considering our family during this difficult time.
