Tia is a single mother of four wonderful children, and her journey has been marked by both hardship and resilience. Over ten years ago, she lost the father of her oldest child in a tragic car accident when her daughter was just a toddler. Despite the trauma and heartbreak, Tia stayed strong and continued to build a loving home for her family, welcoming a son and two more daughters in the years that followed.
About five years ago, Tia’s mother suffered a devastating stroke. When Tia found her unresponsive, she immediately stepped up as her mother’s primary caregiver, drawing on her experience as a nurse’s aide. The stroke left her mother wheelchair-bound and needing help with basic tasks like eating, bathing, and using the restroom. Tia provided 24-hour care, balancing part-time work and relying on her mother’s savings to cover expenses. This period was incredibly challenging, but Tia’s dedication never wavered.
Last year, Tia’s mother passed away after a long decline in health. Tia was by her side every step of the way, handling funeral arrangements and expenses mostly out of pocket. Now, as she returns to full-time work and continues caring for her children, Tia faces a new challenge: her only vehicle is old and unreliable, requiring repairs she cannot afford. This vehicle is essential for getting her children to school, herself to work, and supporting her oldest daughter as she begins high school sports. Without a safe and dependable car, Tia struggles to attend her daughter’s events and worries daily about transportation.
Tia is one of the sweetest and most giving people I’ve ever known. Even when she doesn’t have much, she’s quick to help others, offering her time and support. She inspires me every day with her kindness and selflessness. I truly believe she deserves help to be free of her vehicle worries as she moves into her next chapter. Please help us meet our goal so Tia can buy a reliable vehicle and give her family the stability and adventures they deserve. Any support you can offer is deeply appreciated.
