A Fresh Start for My Daughter and Me — Help Us Get Back on the Road

Hi, my name is Kelly. Asking for help is never easy, but right now I’m choosing hope over pride, because my daughter and I are working hard to rebuild our lives — and we just need a little support to keep moving forward.

This past year has been one of the hardest I’ve ever faced. Losing my job set off a storm of challenges I never expected. During the months I was unemployed, I fell behind in ways that were devastating, and eventually I lost my car. That loss took more than transportation — it took away my sense of stability, my ability to show up for work, and the ease of taking my daughter to the appointments she needs.

But even through everything, I never stopped trying. I’m back at work now in a job I truly enjoy, doing everything I can to rebuild. I want to keep moving forward. I want to provide stability for my daughter. I want our life to feel steady again. The one thing standing in my way is not having a reliable car.

I’m raising $3,500 to help secure a dependable vehicle. Because my credit took a hard hit during the time I couldn’t work, this amount would allow me to make the down payment and cover the upfront costs needed to get back on the road.

Every dollar — truly, any amount — brings us closer to stability, to opportunity, and to peace of mind. If you’re unable to donate, even sharing this page means more than you know.

With all my heart, thank you.

Thank you for reading my story, for caring enough to be here, and for offering support in any form. Your kindness is helping me rebuild not just transportation, but hope — and it means more to my daughter and me than words can express.
