I am having a not-so-happy birthday... Two nights ago, a driver hit my car. They took off the bumper, and now my car won't drive properly. The worst part is... I am already in financial hell. The car isn't insured due to me being out of work until a week ago.

I wish I didn't have to do this, but my mental health has been rapidly deteriorating. I only get to see my kids for 4 hours a week on Sundays like I'm some damn criminal. I can't afford a lawyer, and I've been dealing with this quietly for almost 2 years now, and it feels like there's no end.

I'm really sad, y'all. I can use whatever help anyone is willing to give. The bottom line is, I need a vehicle to get to work. If anyone has any leads on something cheap, it would be greatly appreciated. I plan to share more details on my struggles in the coming days. I feel like people need to hear my story.

If you made it this far, please know... I am eternally grateful for you giving this the time of day. I just wanna be stable again and have more time with my kids.
