Journey to justice and jo

Back on the Road, Back with My Kids πŸš—πŸ’™

Hi, my name is Samantha. I’m a mother fighting through some of the toughest years of my life.

In the past few years, I’ve survived things I never thought I would:

My husband passed away unexpectedly πŸ’”

I was shot and had my car stolen

I’ve faced custody battles, setbacks, and hardships that left me without reliable transportation

Through it all, my biggest dream has stayed the same: to rebuild my life and be fully present for my kids.

Right now, the one thing standing in my way is not having a car. Without it, I struggle with the basics β€” getting to work opportunities, going to court, handling appointments, and most importantly, being there for my children when they need me most.

Why This Fundraiser Matters

A reliable car means independence, safety, and stability.

It means being able to show up for my kids β€” at school, at court, and in their everyday lives.

It means I can rebuild stronger, not just for myself, but for them.

---

How the Funds Will Be Used

Purchasing a safe, reliable used car πŸš—

Covering registration, insurance, and fees

Setting aside a small cushion for maintenance and emergencies

My goal is $7,500, which will fully cover the car and related expenses to get me safely back on the road.

---

How You Can Help

Donate whatever you can β€” truly, every $20, $50, or $100 adds up and brings me closer to driving again.

Share this fundraiser with friends, family, and on social media.

I’ve fought my way through so much, and I refuse to give up now. This is not just about a car β€” it’s about a fresh start, a chance to move forward, and a way to show my kids that no matter how many times life knocks me down, I will always rise for them.

Thank you for reading my story, for sharing, and for helping me get back on the road to healing, hope, and home. πŸ’™

With love and gratitude,

Samantha
