On April 6th at 4:00 a.m., my life was suddenly turned upside down. I woke up to find that my husband had left in the middle of the night—taking our car and leaving town without warning. I’ve been left without transportation and facing a number of unexpected challenges as I try to pick up the pieces and move forward.

It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but right now I truly need it. I have very limited financial resources and need a reliable way to get to work and handle daily responsibilities. On top of that, I’m now facing the legal and financial burden of filing for divorce. Because I haven’t been able to locate or contact my husband, even basic steps in the process—like serving papers—are more complicated and costly than usual.

I want to be clear—there’s no ill will here. I still care deeply about Mitchel, and I’m sure he has his reasons. But at this point, I need to focus on rebuilding my life and taking care of myself.

My immediate need is help securing an affordable vehicle so I can maintain stability and continue working. Longer term, I’ll be working through the bills and debts that have been left behind.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount, it would mean more than I can express. I know times are tough for everyone, and I’m incredibly grateful for your consideration, support, and kindness.

Much love,

Dave Whitmer
