Support James' Journey as a Single Father
Hello my name is James. I'm not real sure how to do this but here goes. I'm a 44 years old. I got saved 5 years ago before that I wasn't someone I even liked myself. But since that night in April 5 years ago I've done everything I can to make my life mean something and to have my children be proud to call me their Dad. I have seven children. I've been a single father of four the last several years I met a young lady a couple of years ago and we had a son which made lucky number seven. I'm very proud of my children they're all A's and B's in school. My 7-year-old just won second place in the PBS West Tennessee Young writers competition. I couldn't be prouder as a father of all of my children. But right now it's just me and my youngest five. I don't receive any kind of assistance and I don't usually ever ask for help. Usually I'm the one everybody calls when they need a hand or a truck because I'm always happy to help where I can. That's what God calls us to do. And you know it's always good to have a friend with a truck. But I'm at a point that I don't know what to do, so a friend told me that I should start a GoFundMe. So here we are. I didn't really even know how much to put down I needed because anything is a Blessing. I was so lucky a couple years ago to get a hold of a service truck to work out of I do home remodels and repairs. But I never turn down work it doesn't matter what it is. And I try to help a couple other guys stay busy too. But last week the engine locked up in my work truck it won't even turn over and before that the transmission went out of my other vehicle. My Main goal is to fix my work truck and its 5000 dollars for the engine and to have it put in. If I could get at least my truck fixed I could try to get back to work. I found out just how hard it was to walk to the grocery store with a whole bunch of kids. Cuz once that baby's legs get tired Daddy's got a whole new load to carry LOL. A friend loaned me a car for a little while so I can figure something out. It's far too small to fit all my children at once but what a BLESSING it has been. The rest of the money, if I'm that Blessed would go toward my rent, lights and water, and child care for my children throughout the day for a couple of weeks so that I can get back to work. I found the only daycare left in my part of the country for my two year old. And our community center offers daycare for my other four. I know I'm nobody special I guess I got the same problems as a whole bunch of others across our country. But I Humbly ask anyone that's reading this if you can help it would be a Blessing if you can't please pass it on. For everyone who has read this far Thank You for taking the time to even read it. For taking the time out of your day to care. And again I Thank You and my family Thanks You I hope everyone has a Wonderful and Blessed day.
