Hi, my name is Zhatia. I’m a mother who is currently going through car trouble that has made it extremely difficult to get my children to school and manage our daily responsibilities. I’m not someone who likes asking for help, but right now I truly need support from my community.

My car began having issues after going over train tracks, and I later discovered tire and mechanical damage that I cannot afford to repair on my own. I’ve tried finding temporary solutions, but the car has reached a point where it’s unsafe to drive. Without reliable transportation, even basic tasks have become a struggle.

Having a working car isn’t a luxury for us — it’s essential. It means:

• Getting my children to school on time

• Making appointments

• Accessing food and groceries

• Being able to work and move forward in life

• Keeping daily life stable for my kids

I am asking for help to get my car repaired or replaced so I can continue providing for my children and keep our lives functioning. Any amount you are willing to give will make a difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this means a lot as well.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and thank you to everyone who supports us during this difficult time. My children and I appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love,

— Zhatia
