Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

I can't express how thankful I am for all of this support. This has helped our family tremendously with my wife being able to continue finishing her schooling with her about to graduate at end of February. It has been a stressful year and we hope to turn it around this year with a fresh start and getting a hold of our finances so we can in turn help others that need it like we did. We honestly couldn't of done this without the help from all of you and it has helped us keep our main family vehicle with us. Again thank you so much for your help and we hope to do the same in the future.



My Father Passed Away & His Final Expenses Put Us Behind. We Need Help to Keep Our Only Car.

My Story:

I am a married father of one son and one daughter. My 4-year-old daughter has more energy than you can imagine and strong interest for anything she has not done before. She is very creative when it comes to drawing and painting. My 12-year-old son loves to listen to music and play basketball. He really enjoys playing video games too. Both of our kids love spending time with our two animals, Casino (Dog) and Blue (Cat). I work full-time as a member of the military and my wife is going to school full time to become a massage therapist.

We earn enough to pay for our basic expenses every month, but we tend to live paycheck to paycheck. We had no savings set aside when my father passed away. I had to purchase plane tickets to make it to my fathers funeral and help with the costs so we could lay him to rest. This was hard for me and my family as it has put us in a financial bind that we are trying to get out of. We've been juggling the bills since dad's death but things have finally caught up to us and the bank is threatening to take our car if we don't catch up on our payments immediately. If that happens, I won't be able to keep working, since this is our only car. So I really, really need help to catch up our car payment so that we can put my father's death behind us and move forward with our lives.

This funding will restore our sense of stability. My wife will graduate soon and that will give us a chance to build an emergency savings fund for ourselves. Your help would make a long-lasting impact on our family, and it would set a wonderful example for our kids. We would like for them to see that people can truly make a difference in the lives of others, and us this as our inspiration to help others in turn as we try to do daily with being positive. Thank you for your help.
