<div>I never imagined I would be here, but right before Christmas I am facing the loss of my car, my income, and the ability to give my children even a basic Christmas.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, I am facing the hardest moment of my life. I am a single mom with children, and I currently have nothing — no savings, no backup, and no safety net. I am a server and have been making as little as $30 a shift, which barely covers food, let alone emergencies.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am at immediate risk of losing my vehicle, which is my only way to get to work, transport my children, and maintain any form of stability. Without my car, I lose my ability to earn income, and everything quickly falls apart.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My children will have no Christmas at all unless I can get help. I have no way to buy gifts, necessities, or even create a sense of normalcy for them during a time that is supposed to feel safe and hopeful.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am also dealing with severe personal hardship and domestic violence situations that have left me in constant fight-or-flight mode. Because of what’s happening at home, I may not even have stable housing in the coming weeks. The stress has been overwhelming, and I am doing everything I can just to keep going for my kids.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am not asking for luxuries. I am asking for help to:

</div>

<div>•	Keep my car so I can continue working

</div>

<div>•	Provide my children with a Christmas

</div>

<div>•	Cover basic necessities during this crisis

</div>

<div>•	Get through this moment without losing everything

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any support — whether through a donation or by sharing this — truly means more than I can put into words. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping my family during the hardest time of our lives.
