Restore Hope: Aid a Father Reconnect with His Kids

2 years ago, my life took a drastic turn when my mother passed away. I had to take loans out to bury her as the life insurance didn't pay out. Last year took me for a spin after losing my job and blowing up not one but two vehicles driving back and forth to see my kids, as me and their mother split up not long after laying my mother to rest. I lost my job, started working from home, but income isn't what it used to be and I'm barely making it by. My house is falling apart with no running water and no electricity in multiple rooms as it's old and needs a lot of work done both inside and out.

I'm starting this GoFundMe so I can try and get myself back out of this hole that my life has become. I'd first be using the money to get some type of cheap vehicle so I can start seeing my kids again and try and find a better paying job. Anything else on top of that would help me in getting the repairs done on my house, getting the water hooked up and running, and electricity restored in the rooms I'm currently not able to use, such as the kitchen.

I'm not asking for someone to save me, and I'm doing my best to pull myself out of this black hole that has become my life, but if I could get just a few people to help me out with something small, it would be a load off my shoulders and allow me to maybe smile again. I haven't smiled in some time now and I almost don't know if I can anymore.
