Father hoping for a miracle
Donation protected
I am a single father of 3 girls, 3-4 and 10, i am in a program called tanf, they give me a small amount of money per month to help me get by. i do classes called SPOKES which is a requirement, this helps me gain new skills so i can get a job and when your case worker gives you a set of hours each week you have to do them. If you do not do them, they take away all the help they give you. I am in this program because of my medical condition, Last march 17th i regained my ability to walk, its not great, but sure beats using a wheel chair. and ever since i regained it i have been in this program earning certificate's in MS office to help me get a job. I have been applying for them, But they wont hire me. on Monday 3-19-2018 on my way home up peters run road at the top, My engine in my 2008 kia optima blew up, with my kids in the car with me. I can truly greatful my neighbors was around and i was close to home so they was able to get them home safely. My car before it did that had issues and i was trying so hard to get each one dealt with, but it died before i could, Now i am left with no way to do my classes or go anywhere, i an severely limited on who can take me places and i cant get my hours at my class now. Where i live its impossible to walk to a bus station etc, specially with my kids and mobility issues, its atleast 5 miles to the nearest one. i need my car fixed, Without it i am going to lose all the help i get, No more money, which means i cant pay my electric and if i cant pay that because of the type of housing i am in, i will get evicted, Its in my lease. i called around and checked everywhere, i can not find help on getting my car fixed, It needs the engine replaced, i was told between 2500 and 4000. and its a must, it is literally impossible for me to get a job, do my classes etc without my car. i have week maybe 2 weeks before my case worker penalizes me and takes the help i get. i worked hard to get to where i am now and i am fighting hard to get further and find a job, without that car im 100% done for and i dont know what else to do, so here i am on gofundme praying there is people out there with a heart and can try and help me. I hate asking for help and i hate begging, But today im begging everyone to please help me before i lose all that i worked hard for. If you can not help me, Please share this as much as possible, i greatly apperciate any and all help anyone is willing to do. my paypal is [email redacted] if you wish to help me and want to help through that. Thank you to all that share and do what ya can for me
