My name is chad ,i am from taunton ma.I'm very ashamed to even have to try this crowdfunding because as a person,a father and a man it is very belittling to have to admit that i have not only failed myself but children,and thats what hurts the most.At this time i am laid off from truck driving and collect 215 awk.with rent at 1400 my bills are piling up and to make matters worth other than the holidays for my kids, the vehicle i have to help me get around to look for work was on the side of the road broke down.my raditor blew so i put a temporary fix and it started to go and i guess because of this my head gasket went.so to fix the both is gonna run about 1500.i can barely afford to literally put food on the table with what i am collecting.I can do construction and truck driving and very willing and able to work i am just not able to get to the job.so that would be one thing i would be doing with the money.the 2nd thing i would be doing is atleast pay one month of rent to keep a roof over our heads.and with the 600 left over i would do my best to bargain shop to give my 3 children the best xmas i could.i have 2boys, 16yr old and 4yrs old,and my little princess is 9. And on 12-23 my 3rd son will be born.this time of the year was suppose to be the happiest for us but a run of badluck and i mean badluck has definitely left this black cloud over myself and all i want to do is be a good father and provide for my children.i have done all good to turn things around and i just cant seem to fix the problems and get things together to provide.i am very ashamed to even ask for help,but i need to put my pride aside and do just that and if i can not raise the money to fix my car,pay my rent and give my children a xmas they deserve im hoping at the very least to be able to buy gifts for my children to give them the gifts the want and deserve xmas morning.i apologize in advance for failing my children and not being the father they need and deserve. If anyone could help i would greatly appreciate this.thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you may offer. God bless you and your family and happy holidays from my family to yours...
