Many of you know me.  I'm Kristi and if you know me you will know that me asking for help of any kind is atypical.  However, I have come to a place where I have no choice, but to beg for any kind of assistance.  Currently, I am stuck in central Indiana with no running vehicle, despite having numerous repairs completed over the last few weeks.  I have been stuck here, trying to get home, but doing it by myself.  In the meantime, I have had to try and deal with taking care of things from here with limited funds and access to things like technology.  And, I am broke.  I lost my job in January and have not been able to supplement my income through teaching as I used to.  My divorce was finalized last November and that has limited my former resources as well.  So, at the end of the day, my car needs to be fixed, some bills need to be paid, and I need to be able to find some kind of shelter until those other areas are resolved.  Any assistance is appreciated and in all honesty, although I will thank anyone for help, I do not expect it nor do I want anyone who cannot assist me to try and provide help at this time.  Please know, however, I will be so thankful for anything at all anyone can do to help me.  Please understand I do not normally ask my friends to financially help me, but I am now completely desperate.  I will not leave this fundraiser up for long as I am in need of funds immediately and will not take more than is needed.  My car can be fixed with the correct parts as we finally found out, through an expensive process of elimation.  I temporarily have run into a situation that has been difficult, but I have no doubt it is just that...temporary.  I appreciate everyone who reads this and thank you in advance for any support you have or will be giving me.
