Angel Mama needs help for MonTee Movement to Move
Donation protected
My name is Kristen better known as MonTee's Mom. My son MonTee was killed November 7th 2021 in a fatal car accident. Having been in a nearly fatal accident myself in 2003 I have been disabled and receiving social security as a single mom with a very low fixed income. Before my sons passing I was able to take some hospice care work for cash to help us thru the harder times. With his funeral costs and my dad being diagnosed with cancer and keeping him comfortable during his end of life journey I depleted my savings and have been barely staying afloat when my Dad passed March 15th of this year. We were able to get justice for the boy who killed MonTee April 14th and my transmission went out directly behind that. And to think they have been tryin to reach me about my cars extended warranty ♀️I have tried to get assistance thru different agencies who help with repairs and those grants do not cover transmissions, anything but a transmission actually. I reached out to GM corporate who directed me to Coffman GM for a GM certified diagnostics as they wouldnt take my already obtauned diagnosis as it cane from a third party. Coffmans comped the diagnosis and said it would be roughly 6 thousand of which after hearing MonTee's story and mine offered to put up $1500 toward the repairs which leaves me roughly $4200 short. Coffmans is trying to help and has given me a few days to come up with the balance due. Suggested I reach out to local agencies or churches which I have done along with different businesses, agencies and local organizations. Several of my friends recommended to try gofund me so here I am. I am still a single mom disabled with my 11 year old daughter MonTee's baby sister. I'm doing my best to heal behind losing my son and father and this last blow with the transmission is enough to take me under but I refuse to give up.. I have big work to do to keep MonTee's Legacy alive. After his passing we started a MonTee Movement where we did many random acts of kindness in the community and are equipped with the momentum to do so much mor3 but I can't do anything with a car that wont come out of park. If gofund me isn't your thing you can call Coffmans directly and pledge a payment towards MonTee's Mama's 2012 Buick Enclaves Transmission. Coffmans #6308927093 and Dianne Zimmerman is who Ive been working with.In all my years of being out on my own and as a single Mama I've never asked for anything, I am still making payments on this vehicle and will have to continue to til the loan is fulfilled. I've been told about local colleges who can possibly do it for discounted but being the transmission and I travel my only surviving child in the vehicle I'm leary after a fatal car accident killed my son. I have never used a dealership for my repairs as my pockets could never have afforded that but these 1774 in credit on a certified and warrantied fix is a once in a lifetime blessing that I would like to take advantage of and get back to work spreading the love of God thru the legacy which is my son, while teaching his baby sister about death at such a young age by experience.
Monteejayvonclifton.com is the MonTee Movement and what we are working so hard to keep alive and as I said it's getting heavy trying to carry all of these struggles while grieving and tryin to still be a great Mom while fighting to make sure no other Mom's have to experience all of the trials that I have had to in burying my son.
Like I said I don't normally ask for anything and it's definitely hard to swallow my pride as I type this however I NEED HELP ... so many people have gotten their need met this way and so many of us didn't get that call for their extended warranty.
Every dollar will add up and this Angel Mama needs to be back in the driver's seat spreading love the way MonTee would.
The cushion is to cover the taxes and fees from gofund me
God Bless
MonTee's Mama
