About this fundraiser

​It takes a village, and right now, I’m reaching out to mine.

​As many of you know, I am a hardworking, self-employed mother doing everything I can to provide for my children and build a stable future. Lately, I’ve hit a significant roadblock: I am currently without reliable transportation.

​Living in an area where a vehicle is a necessity—not a luxury—this loss has impacted every corner of our lives.

​Why This Matters

​My car is more than just a way to get from point A to point B; it is the engine that keeps my family running. Without it:

  • Work is at risk: My livelihood depends on my ability to travel for my property maintenance and cleaning jobs. Missing work means missing the income needed for rent and essentials.
  • Health and School: Getting my kids to their school functions and making it to important doctor’s appointments has become an incredible challenge.
  • Basic Needs: Even a simple trip to the grocery store to keep the pantry full has become a major hurdle.

​My Goal

​I am starting this GoFundMe to raise funds for a reliable used vehicle. My goal is to get back on the road so I can continue working, showing up for my kids, and keeping our household stable.

​I’m not looking for anything fancy—just something safe and dependable that will allow me to fulfill my responsibilities as a provider and a mother.

​How You Can Help

  1. Donate: Any amount, no matter how small, gets us closer to the driver’s seat.
  2. Share: If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this link with your network. A simple post can make a world of difference.

​I have always taken pride in my work and my ability to show up for those who need me. Asking for help isn't easy, but I’m doing this for my kids. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, your prayers, and your support.
