Gas money needed urgently!
Donation protected
Pamela is in need of gas money to get back home to her 5 children and her ailing father.
Her story has been a long one, full of heartbreak, disappointments, but continual perserverance. She began her journey in Glendale, AZ when she decided that she could not longer endure the physical and emotional abuse inflicted upon her by her husband of nearly 14 years. To add to the difficulty of the situation, she has been diagnosed with MS, but now doctors are saying that she may have Fibromyalgia. She suffers daily from her health condition(s) yet doesn't let it stop her from trying to achieve stability for her children.
Pamela and her kids spent the better part of 2017 in a homeless shelter for battered women. That was a struggle purely based on the number of children she has. The horror of finally getting the courage to leave, just to be told that the shelter could not accommodate you because your family is too large.
A longtime friend of hers in Iowa opened wanted to open her home to Pamela and her family. So she left everything she and the kids knew in Arizona and traveled east to Iowa. At least she tried to. Sadly, she hydroplaned in a puddle of water on the road at and it caused her to lose control of the vehicle. It rolled three times and a few of the children were ejected from the van. Some of them had to be airlifted to the hospital, while the rest were transported by ambulance. By the grace of God, the worst injuries sustained were scars on a couple of the children, and Pam tore a ligament in her neck. That caused her to be in a neck brace for 6+ months.
After moving back to the homeless shelter, she gained momentum to try to leave for Iowa once more. She and all the kids packed one bag each and took a Greyhound bus out east.
Without making this GoFundMe into a book, because she has been through so very, very much, we will fast forward. She has found stability in Iowa and was able to buy another vehicle, but of course it was on a budget due to finances being incredibly tight. She got a 1995 Mercury Sable that was in seemingly very good condition - it was well loved by the original owners. She recently drove back to Arizona to get her family photos, toys, and other sentimental belongings that she had been keeping in storage - as well as her parents' belongings. She took her aging parents in with her because she has an endless supply of love for her family.
However, the Sable broke down 3 or 4 times on the way to Arizona to get their belongings and she was forced to spend money that was supposed to pay for gas to return home to Iowa.
And here we are, she needs to get back to her children in Iowa! Please, any donation amount will help her. $5 towards her goal is still a couple gallons of gas!
