Hello, my name is Arielle, and I’m reaching out with a hopeful heart for support for my family. ❤️

My husband teaches high school, and I teach preschool. We love our work and the chance to help shape young lives, but as many people know, teachers’ pay is modest, and with prices rising everywhere, it’s become harder and harder to make ends meet.

Recently, life handed us a tough challenge: my husband is recovering from a serious back injury, and his car recently died beyond repair. Because of his injury, he cannot safely get in and out of a small vehicle — he needs an SUV for the seat height and support. Unfortunately, that makes the cost far out of reach for us right now.

Without a reliable vehicle, it’s been difficult to manage work, school drop-offs, medical appointments, and daily errands. A safe, reliable SUV would mean:

• My husband can safely get to work and appointments without worsening his injury.

• Our family can handle daily needs like groceries and errands without constant worry.

• Two dedicated teachers can continue giving their best to their students while caring for our young children.

We are hoping to raise $35,000 to cover the cost of a safe, reliable used SUV for our family, along with registration, insurance, and initial maintenance. Every contribution — no matter how small — brings us closer to stability and peace of mind.

If you aren’t able to give, sharing our story also means the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us through this difficult season.

— Arielle and Marc
