Help Sherri Keep Her Van and Find Stability

Donation protected
Hi I am Sherri and this is very hard for me to do, to ask others for help as I know there are more people out there who need help more than me. But, I have been living in my van, homeless, since 2020 when I lost everything in my life due to me getting cervical cancer. I had an in home daycare and was not able to care for the children during my cancer treatments and lost all the income and eventually lost my house and became completely homeless for the first time in my life. I have had several jobs and currently work as a director of a daycare, but it just doesn't pay enough for me to be able to pay my bills and also afford my own place to live. I have tried getting a 2nd and 3rd job to work part time to try to supplement some additional funds, but my body can only take so much the older I get. I actually just got fired from one additional job that I had because they found out I was homeless and didn't want me there any longer because of it. I am currently behind in my van payments by about $1500 and am in danger of them trying to come and repossess it, which would leave me completely homeless with no shelter at all. Please give whatever you can even if its just $5 every little bit helps. My goal is to try to get enough donations to pay off my van completely through the help of good hearted people so I can then start on my next life goal of writing my own book with a ghost writer about my entire lifes story so I can use that story to help inspire others who may be in similar situations that I have been in my entire life. I am not going to get into it all here, but I have had an extremely rough life from being a child all the way to where I am now. If my book takes off and I make some money on it my ultimate goal would be for me to get my own place and start my own daycare again as that is my true passion and run it as a Christian based daycare center. For those of you still wondering, I have NEVER used drugs or abused alcohol, nor do I even smoke cigarettes.

I would like to sincerely thank you for reading this far! The only other thing I ask is that when you lay your head down at night you remember me and know that there is a woman out there trying to make ends meet living in a van parked in a Department store parking lot in the extreme cold nights in the winter and the extreme hot nights in the summer and just try to open your heart and give to help. And even if you can't give because things are tight for you right now, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share my story with as many other people as possible so I can try to hit my goals and start the next chapter of my life to help others through Christ!

May God Bless You All and Thank You from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this and consider making a donation to me and my needs.
