Hi, my name is Kate.

I’m a single mum living in a rural area, working two jobs just to keep everything going for my family. Recently, our car completely broke down — and unfortunately, it’s beyond repair.

This has hit us hard.

Without a car, getting to work has become a daily challenge. What used to be a 20-minute drive is now a 1.5+ hour trip each way, involving long walks and the only available bus. I also have Plantar fasciitis, which makes the walking especially painful and difficult to sustain long-term.

It means:

Leaving my kids earlier each morning just to make it to work

Less time with them at home

No easy way to get them to activities or appointments

Constant stress about how long I can physically keep this up

I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat, but right now I’m at a point where I need a bit of help to get through this setback.

I’m hoping to raise funds toward a reliable second-hand car so I can:

Get to work safely and consistently

Keep supporting my family

Get my kids where they need to be

Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this would help more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story

Kate
