Hi friends, family, and kind community,

We are reaching out to you today with vulnerable hearts to ask for a helping hand during a very challenging season for our family.

As many of you know, my partner and I are currently working hard in college to build a stable, bright future for our amazing eight-year-old daughter. While we are doing everything we can to stay afloat and thrive, a combination of unexpected hurdles has hit us all at once, and we’ve reached a point where we simply cannot manage it alone.

Both my partner and I navigate ongoing health issues. For me, these health challenges come and go unpredictably, which has made maintaining a consistent financial baseline incredibly difficult. On top of managing our health and our studies, our family car recently stopped working completely.

Right now, losing our transportation is our biggest roadblock. I have a specific job opportunity lined up that would finally allow us to fully support ourselves, but in order to accept it and get to work safely, I desperately need a reliable vehicle.

We are raising funds to help us buy a dependable used car, cover basic registration/insurance, and provide a small temporary buffer for medical costs and bills so we don't fall further behind while transitioning into this next chapter.

Every single dollar raised will go directly toward getting us back on the road and helping our family regain our independence. If you aren’t able to donate, simply sharing our link with others would mean the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for loving and supporting our little family.

With love and gratitude,
