Support Shaera's July 4th and Birthday Plans

Hello, my name is Shaera Hayes and I'm a recently certified MHPS (mental health peer specialist) and I'm currently volunteering to get my 250 peer support hours completed on ShareWell. I LOVE WHAT I DO!!! I do not have a current job and I'm surviving on my side hustle which, after all my bills are paid, leaves only about $50 left to have fun with for the whole month.

I'm in need of financial and spiritual help to make the 4th of July and my birthday special which is on the 6th. I'm a grandmother of one very spirited 8 year old and want to make her time with me special. I just took care of her and saying several times "I'm sorry P, I just don't have the money to do that" broke my heart. I just don't have the financial means to truly celebrate this special event. I'm asking for anything you can donate even prayers.

I do not drive and Uber is too expensive. My plan is to reserve the cheapest car rental from the 3rd to the 7th of July. This cost is about $177 then I imagine the insurance will be around $50? I would also like to take her to a children's museum which will cost $40, and to take her to the dinosaur park which is about $30. Gas will be about $70. If I can take her to the beach in Corpus Christie (three hour drive) then that would be about $30. I am on food stamps and don't have enough for some good food, so I imagine that will be about $70.

I'd like to make some excellent memories. She's deserving and so am I. I want to have an incredible 48th birthday and your support would mean SO MUCH!!!

I ask with a grateful and humble heart. Anything helps.

With love and compassion, thank you. Metta
