Tiffany Jason

My name is Tiffany, and I am raising funds for myself and my 20-year-old autistic son. We have faced many challenges together, and right now, we are in a difficult situation. After living with my mother in Wayne County, I lost my car and my job. To keep providing for us, I started renting a car so I could work and make some money. During this time, I also began helping take care of my grandfather, who was sick with dementia and needed a lot of care. My cousin and I worked together to support him, and I ended up taking over his car, which he was financing through Enterprise. Sadly, my grandfather passed away on August 8. At that point, I lost all my income, including the little I made helping him. I had to make the hard decision to separate myself from my son so I could try to earn money and find a job. I started working for DoorDash, Uber, and Lyft, but putting all those miles on my car caused problems. My insurance lapsed, I couldn't pay it, and the DMV suspended my license and registration. Now, my son and I need our own place. We are staying with my daughter, but there is not enough room—it's a one-bedroom apartment. My son attends school, and I just want him to be comfortable and have his own space. I'm trying to get back to work and am filling out applications every day. The funds I raise will help us finish paying off my grandfather's car and help me pay for a security deposit and rent for a couple of months, so we can have a stable place to live. Me and my son have been on a rocky road from birth. My son almost died and spent the first three months in the hospital—it was touch and go. People have come and gone from our lives, and we've lost loved ones. Your support would give us a chance to spend time together, be safe and stable, and give us life again—hope, motivation, and mostly let us know people still care, that we are loved, and that people want the best for us.
