Hi, my name is Teah Sawa and on July 14th at 1:30 AM — just one day before my birthday — our only family vehicle was stolen right off the street by a tow truck. The van was fully paid off, and it was our only form of transportation. As a single mom of two children with special and medical needs, this has been a devastating blow to our routines and lives.

Without a vehicle, we can’t get to the medical appointments, developmental outings or even get groceries that are essential to my children’s health and well-being. I’m doing everything I can to stay strong and present for them, but the truth is the van was our lifeline and now, we need help.

Your support would go directly toward helping us replace our van with something safe and reliable, so we can get back on track and ensure my kids continue receiving the care and opportunities they deserve. Even the smallest contribution can help move us closer to rebuilding what we’ve lost.

I still believe in the goodness of community and in the power of people showing up for one another during hard times. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and if you’re able to help or share our story, please know that it means more than words can express.

Thank you,

Teah Sawa

and kids.
