Hi everyone,

My name is Tina and I'm writing this message with a heavy heart but also trying to be positive and keep hope.

I never thought I'd be in this position, but I'm reaching out for help after I recently was in a car accident that totaled my vehicle. As a single mom, the realization that my car, my only mode of transportation, has now been destroyed, is absolutely devastating.

Replacing my car is a huge and unexpected expense that I was not prepared for. I am asking for your support with this GoFundMe to secure a down payment on a reliable vehicle or to purchase a cash car. A new car isn’t just a convenience for me; it’s a necessity. It's how I get my 5 year old to and from school, to my full time job, and essential errands such as grocery shopping and medical appointments. I just got approved for a new apartment for my 5 year old and I. We are moving next month, so most of my income is tied up in that.

I truly am struggling to ask for help, and it is difficult pushing my pride and ego to the side, but I do not have many options. Even a small donation will help me get back on the road and restore some stability to our lives. If you are not able to donate, sharing my link to your stories or Facebook pages, Twitter pages etc helps tremendously. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
