Hey, my name is Bee and I am raising funds to try to help my family have a good summer instead of continuing a constant struggle to survive. I am a teacher, the primary earner for my family, and as such, we live paycheck to paycheck. The ends almost meet but not quite and I am struggling to fill the gap- every month a late bill or bank fees sets me back a little further. My kids have totally reasonable aspirations for the summer: they want to be able to order pizza on Fridays, they both want to get their ears pierced together, and my eldest needs a new bike to accommodate their growth spurt. We want to go to the local water park once, and maybe see a movie. They both need some new clothes and shoes because they're growing so quickly. I need to get electrical work on my old car because my brake lights aren't working. I want to be able to provide these things for them and right now I can't. I work full time and would like to not have to get a second job so that I can spend some time with them before school starts up again. My goal for this campaign is to be able to breathe, have a little fun, and to have a slim cushion to help with that gap between paychecks. Any help is so greatly appreciated.

Update! Hey y'all, I lost my job last week. I'm heartbroken as I loved being a pre-k teacher. Ends already didn't meet, but now we're struggling even more as I try to find work. I've been crafting wares to sell and applying for jobs every single day. Please help me tread water through this transition. I'm so grateful for your help!
