help with cars, life & a sick kitty
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Alexandra. My family has been through a lot in the last 6 months.
My husband was in the hospital for 3 days due to viral meningitis, we lost our car, I lost my job, and ultimately, we lost our home.
We are now staying with family, but we still have expenses. We are, after all a family of 5. We currently owe 1300 just for the time we have been staying here. Our truck needs work, and gets terrible gas mileage. We have been trying to get out of the hole for over a year. I am seeking a part time job, and my husband has a full time job now again, but he only makes 9.50 an hour. I am going back to school in January. And our kids are in. school. The youngest is only in half day, afternoon, preschool. That also complicates my ability to find a job with an accomodating schedule. Our dollar amount owed on the previous home is outrageouly high, but I am not asking for help with that. I need help with 3 things
1. My family needs 2 vehicles to function properly and get onto our feet to be self reliant. I know of one that needs tires and brakes that i could purchase, fix, insure, and tag for 1000$
The truck needs tires, a tune up and a new switch for the brake lights, all in all I estimate this to be about 1000$ as well. To have two fully functioning vehicles would be 2000$ total They might not be Mercedes or anything really nice but they will get us from point A to point B.
2. I would like the 1300 owed and the 650 that November would cost so that way my husband and I have time for me to find work, and save for December rent, and Chrsitmas in total $1950
The third thing I am asking for help with, is the reason I finally broke down and asked for help. I havent felt like my needs have been great enough to utilize this website. We can keep trying and find work, I thought. Eventually it will get better, I thought. We have been backsliding for far too long, and now my cat is sick, and I cannot afford to take him to the vet to get him better. My little brother, who also lives here, has a cat as well and I don't want to get her sick because of my sick cat, and I have no idea what i wrong with my kitty. So I am estimating that to be another 1000$.
Please help my family, and my kitty, it would mean the world to me. If my family just had enough vehicles, we could thrive and grow and become completely elf reliant and have extra to give back.
I am asking for 4950 for all of these things to be fixed for my family, and our furry friend, so we can finally start living instead of just surviving, We have been surviving for way too long. The sooner the better, but I am hoping to have it fully raised before the end of October 2016
