My name is Leslie, I am a kidney patient. Last year my kidney function dropped and I started dialysis. I'm fortunate that that was short lived, but it is not over yet. I have X linked Alports syndrom with mutation. Meaning eventually I will either be back on dialysis or receive a transplant. I am also caring for my 4 yr old granddaughter full time who has her own fair share of medical stuff going on, Allports included. I have 2 of my own kids still at home, one just graduated and is figuring out what to next. The other is an 8th grader. My husband is a full-time employed at a decent job. But even with all the overtime he is doing it's just not enough. I would like to take some of the stress off of him buy getting one of our biggest bills paid off, the car. That in itself would help put food on the table and less stress on him. I was a full time employee up until covid hit, at that time my husband and I decided for my health reasons it was probably better for me to just be home with the kids. Between medical bills, the cost of living and everything else life has thrown at us the struggle to keep up has became increasingly more difficult. Becouse of my husband's earned wages we don't qualify for any assistance. Medical insurance through his work takes out more than 500 a month to cover everyone. Again we are stretched thin. In reality I would love to just win the lottery and pay off the car AND house then we would be set. But here I am asking for help with just the car, enough we can stand on our own 2 feet again. Any help would be greatly appreciated and go directly to the cars principal balance. If it were to happen that the funds went above what we owe on the car, the rest would go to paying off other debt.
