I am a Single Hardworking Mother Of 4. Please Help With The Down Payment For My Child's Braces.

My Story:

I am a single mother of 4. I have a daughter that is getting ready to start college and needs braces badly. I have another 16 year old daughter that has behavioral issues and we have to make trips weekly to another town for appointments. I also have 2 boys ages 9 and 15, both have ADHD and have many activities that we have to be at as well. I work full time to support us and I am also in school. They spend very little time with their father because he lives in a different state. I am a family development specialist and I work with families to over come challenges they face.

I have been taking a class to learn how to better handle my finances and just as I think I am getting everything in order an expense comes up. The refrigerator just went out and I had to get a new one, my dryer keeps acting up so I had to buy parts for that and I just went through a break up so that took some income away for food in the home. I also just got sick and had to pay for medication. I have had to add the children to my insurance so I don�t have to drive all over the place to get the kids seen in different towns by doctors. I need Modest Needs� help with the down payment for my child�s braces.

This funding will allow for me to get the remainder of my bills caught up without having to worry about this unexpected expense. My daughter badly needs braces and I would hate for her to continue to be in pain and not get the braces she needs. Your help will make a huge impact on my family and our stability. My oldest daughter is taking over her phone bill and car insurance so that will free up some of my funds as well. Thank you.
