Help Us Get Home: Support for Van Repairs

As many of you know, the transmission on our van died just as we were starting our trip back from California to our home in Missouri. After several extreme quotes, we have narrowed our options to tangible possibilities with financial support.

With this $$, we could get either a new used van or a transmission rebuild that could at least get us home and live off of my beloved van, Optimus Prime, until we can finally retire him after over 11 amazing years.

A van is ideal as I had just gone down to Mexico to retrieve the last of my stuff that was there for over a year in a friend's garage. Our van is currently packed to the brim and we don't have a place to leave it in California for another indefinite period of time.

The boys are with their dad and I am in a friend's living room until we have some semblance of finances to leave. The boys start school around August 20th, so I'd definitely like to be home by then and we have friends that have been taking care of our cats since July 15th. I look forward to relieving them of cat duty and seeing my fur babies as soon as possible.

With pacing myself and kids and enduring my health issues, it takes about 4 days for us to drive back to Missouri. It's been tough being on the road but so worth it since I haven't seen my daughter in over a year and my boys haven't seen their dad in over a year. Please help us make it through the final stretch and get home safely ❤️ thank you for all who have and continue to love and support us!
