Help family get back on their feet

Hi,and blessings.

My name is Monique Wallace. I am a single parent/grandparent,in desperate need of support! Currently, I am raising my own daughter and trying to help raise my Three Granddaughters that live in a different county whose mother my beautiful 26yr old daughter was killed due to police brutality/misconduct and violence. I have been trying to assist in their upbringing since the brutal slaying of my daughter. The car that we had was totaled 2 1/2 years ago by someone who did not have insurance. We had to let the car go and we have been without a vehicle everysince! Currently, I reside in my hometown of Santa Barbara My daughter,granddaughters and I are running back and forth from Oxnard where my daughter,their mother was killed,to Santa Barbara. That’s 3 buses their, and 3 busses back!. It literally  takes the entire day!I currently have the opportunity to gain co-custody of my grandchildren if I receive reliable transportation and larger/more suitable housing,ASAP!These funds will allow me to get a reliable reasonably priced vehicle so that I may help raise my granddaughter’s and to get us stable and back on our feet! We need security!we need a car!Time is of the essence as Covid restrictions continue to lift all elementary school age children will be back in the classroom by the end of August and I will be needed for they’re after school care, and weekend care.This horrible situation has been a mental,emotional and financial NIGHTMARE!!, I feel as if the “entire world” rest solely on my shoulders. To carry the weight of a murdered child,Then to worry about my 

Own daughter,my three granddaughters and just knowing we have no car for “emergencies”or anything else! is more than I can bear alone,as I am still bitterly grieving the death of my child. I implore you to give whatever support you can.I have plans to go back to school in October I will be taking phlebotomy and going back to work,just one more thing that I don’t know how I’m going to achieve without a car.My little granddaughters are “All”I have left of my daughter and we are “All” they have left of their mother. We are asking for your compassion,and support. It’s been very difficult to swallow my pride and ask for help in such a public way.On behalf of my daughter and her children and our family we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring,God bless you
