Hi there! We’re Carlos and Shanelle.

We’re reaching out for some help as we prepare for a new chapter in our lives welcoming our baby soon. ❤️

Life has taken a few unexpected turns this past year. From the heartbreaking loss of my mom, to losing my full-time job, to relying on credit just to keep up with bills it’s been a challenging season. Still, through it all, God has been faithful and continues to open doors for us to get back on our feet.

One of our biggest struggles right now is our car. It’s been a blessing, but also a burden. We’ve fallen behind on payments before and have come close to losing it. By the grace of God, we’ve always managed to pull through but it’s kept us stuck in a cycle we can’t seem to break.

Shanelle is currently on unpaid maternity leave, and I’ve been working every opportunity I can find while continuing to interview for something steady. With rent being high and a baby on the way, we’ve made the difficult decision to return our current car and start fresh but that means we’ll need a reliable used car to get around, especially for doctor visits and errands once the baby arrives.

We’re trusting God’s timing and provision, and we’re simply asking for a little help to get through this season. Whether you’re able to give or simply share our story, we’re deeply grateful. Every bit helps.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being part of our journey.

God bless you!

Carlos & Shanelle
