Hi, I'm Traci. I'm a teacher and a mother to nine beautiful children through birth, foster care, and adoption. This past weekend my family's 7-passenger van broke down. Today, our 11-passenger van also broke down. Both vehicles were purchased used and had many miles on them. We were desperately hoping to wait until the New Year, when my husband graduates from nursing school, to purchase something new-to-us.

With my husband and two oldest sons taking classes an hour away each day and with children with medical and special needs who require frequent appointments, we can no longer wait until the New Year. However, we are not prepared for this immediate financial need. As terrifying as it is to share a need so transparently, publically, and vulnerably, we hope that God will be glorified in this process. Thank you for supporting our family and helping us give the best we can to all of our children.
