About this fundraiser

Hello to all! First, Thank you to anyone taking the time not to donate, (even though it is greatly appreciated if anyone decides or decided to donate) But thank you for taking the time to read this. So many people ask for help who do not truly need the assistance. they simply are asking from others because they just don’t want to pay for something themselves, but there’s also a handful of people, (like my husband and myself) who truly need assistance. Who truly have absolutely no means of income. Not without hard effort and trying. We are not just asking for assistance with no income without trying to have the means for income. I am blessed to have a start date/orientation date next week! with my new job, since I unexpectedly lost mine this past may. I know it is now September, and believe you me, I have been applying and applying , but life happens. As always. We have had some huge bumps since may. ( actually way further back than that but that’s not of any reference as to what we need asap and that’s a whole nother story for a whole different day) but these recent bumps since may, have been more like pole vaults set at an Olympic level and the necessary requirement is to atleast reach the Olympic set height” I am being very sarcastic, there is no real pole vault line”  I am simply stating that these recent bumps my husband and I have come across have left us barely hanging on. Without it seeking like I’m giving yall another “oh I need someone to feel sorry for me case” let me just be real. 
 I messed up, I’m not perfect, I’m hoping for second chances on some things money can’t buy. But my husband , my sweet husband, he has neccesary medicines that be needs to take daily that he has been 2 weeks without, that he shouldn’t be a day without. My sweet husband has been so worried about me, that he neglected himself and I allowed it. how selfish of me is that? how selfish is that of me ,To know that he needs these medicines, and I felt like at that current time 2 weeks ago, that “yeah he needs them, but so what, I need stuff too”. How selfish is that? Very, and I’m ashamed and I’m sorry, and I’m changing, starting with this. A helping hand is what my husband and myself need. It’s what he needs, forget me.  I’m asking for atleast $350 to help get us a spare tire for our vehicle because it is unsafe to be driven on and is already been driven on for over 200 miles on a donut tire). But I am asking for $350 to help get a used tire, the labor to have it put on and aligned so we can safely get to the local Walmart neighborhood market pharmacy to pick up my husbands medicines he desperately needs. He has Neuropothy, severe anxiety , ptsd, (he is not a veteran, but ptsd comes in many ways and is not just from military). , pancreatitis, the start of kidney disease, and without giving his whole medical history, and respecting his privacy, it’s just a list of some of the reasons he can’t miss his medications. So again.. $350 for a used (new to us) tire, the labor and alignmeant, the safety of being able to go get his medicines that are for atleast this month about $150. Give or take the good RX card. The $350 should leave us enough to get the tire, medicine, and hopefully gas for the day. And safely. It’s not an answer for every month, but it helps us for atleast right now, and right now is all we have. And each other, for that I am so eternally greatful and thankful for that I pray to be able to prove to him daily. Please, and I know times are hard for most. But any donation,   Whether it’s .50 cents or $2 . Anything that comes from the bottom of yalls heart, is appreciated so much . It is appreciated so much More than anyone could imagine other than those who have had to ask for help from others they don’t know either.  As cheesy and Corny as this is, I’m gonna quote not only one of the best bands ever, like. GOAT qualified bests ever (in my opinion) “  It’s times like these you learn to live  again, it’s times like these you give and give again, it’s times like these you learn to love again, it’s times like these, time and time again”.
