Hi everyone,

This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write. I’ve always been the one to push through, figure things out, and take care of my family without asking for help. But today, I’m coming to social media with a humble heart.

Over the last three weeks, my life has taken a turn I didn’t expect. Due to losing reliable transportation in a car wreck. I’ve been unable to work — and because my employment depends completely on being able to get to work, that has meant no income at all. As a single mother of three, this has been devastating. Bills are piling up, and the stress has taken a toll on my mental health. I’ve been battling depression and feeling like I’ve lost all hope.

Not being able to do even the smallest things — like wash clothes or run simple errands for my kids — has put me in a rut and made me feel like a failure as a mom. I have no one in Greenville County to help me get back and forth. I feel like I’ve reached a dead end, and some days life just feels harder and harder to live.

I’m creating this GoFundMe as a step toward getting back on my feet. Your support will help me:

• Cover urgent bills and keep a roof over our heads

• Provide for my three children’s needs

• Get reliable transportation so I can return to work and stability

Asking for help is not easy for me, but I’m learning that sometimes you have to reach out and allow others to be there for you. Any donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Even if you can’t give, a share or a kind word means the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me and my children through this difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

Kristi
