My name is Maxie and my father's name was Max. As you can probably guess, he passed away a couple of weeks after his first grandchild with my mother was born 7 months ago. Without even getting to hold him once, my father suddenly passed away in a trucking accident, and since then we have been trying our hardest to stay above water.

Most of my siblings and I moved back home in order to help relieve my mother of the incurring debts as well as future bills that amount up to way more than the total I'm asking for, but just to keep our head above water, I'm asking for only 1/3 of the amount my family needs. Since my father was the main breadwinner, we are having a hard time catching up with bills. So far, we have had 2 out of 3 of our cars repossessed and are at risk for eviction as we are behind several months on bills.

There was a rumor of a collection that was taken up in order to help my family not long after my father passed, but as far as we know, that was just a rumor since we have received none of that money. Be that as it may, we are very thankful for those who continued to give as much as they could since his passing and hope that you or your friends would consider helping us once again in our dire need. Thank you, strangers and friends, for your contributions and prayers. We are truly thankful!
