Testimonial
This person has left the following thank you note:
Its so difficult to find the words to fully explain what your generosity means to me. Your donation not only covered my car payment so that I can continue to get to work and provide for my son, it has also inspired me. So much of our world, particularly now, is struggling in many different ways and I know that my situation is not unique. Sometimes its hard to recognize the struggle of others when your struggling to survive yourself. Its people like you, who selflessly give their own hard earned money to help others, that gives me hope which encourages me to keep going, press on, and most importantly...pay it forward. I have sat in frustration over the last few weeks watching the effect this virus has had on family, friends, my community and our great country. The fear, the mourning, the bravery...left me feeling helpless. I am a patriot, and I somehow had to find away to do my part. I was particularly moved by our frontline workers. How they forged on without protection, to help strangers...similar to what you have done for me. I couldn't sit back and watch our heroes continue to put their lives in jeopardy. So...I learned how to make a mask! With the help of fabric donations pouring in, I have so far been able to make and distribute 163 masks to pediatric nurses, truck drivers, the homeless, first responders, grocery store workers and those in my community who just wanted to do their part by wearing a mask to keep those around them protected. I will not stop till the need stops. Again, thank you. Your thoughtfulness is helping me to dig out of a monetary setback. But perhaps, more importantly, has given me strength to carry on and do for others as you have done for me. I wish I knew who you were. I will never forget the strangers that selflessly gave so that I could carry on. My thoughts are with you now and always. Be well. Id also like to thank those at Modest Needs who provide an incredible service for those who unexpectedly fall on hard times. Thanks to each and everyone of you who guided me through the process. I wont forget. Hannah
Recently Single Mother Needs Your Help With Car Payment
My Story:
I am a recently separated mother of one teenage boy who has been dealing with a crap since may. His father suffered a devastating heart attack and was on life support for two months with.0.1% chance of survival. Thankfully, miraculously, he has recovered, however the second blow came when he asked for a divorce. I've been a housewife for 20 years, working few hours a week at a pediatricians office. I'm proud to say that I am the founder of non profit business.
My kid is terrific but these last months have affected him greatly and still struggles to keep his head above water. He is a junior in high school with so much potential but has lost sight of his future. I am determined to get him through this and back to his old self. In February, I started a new journey in the community by forming a non profit basketball team that helped at-risk/less fortunate teenage boys in the community. My mission was to provide the best academic help and basketball exposure I could. They are my second family and ironically have provided just as much love to my son and myself as Ive given them. We are so blessed to have that support. When my ex husband suffered heart attack, I missed four months of income caring for him. I worked part time between two jobs and my nonprofit. I now need Modest Needs help with my past due car payment.
This funding would have a huge impact on me, both financially and mentally. My biggest fear is losing my car that allows me to bring in an income. I am keep looking for a second job, and still trying to be able to keep my son's routine going, which is critical at this moment. To know that I can focus my mind on additional work, addressing other bills and starting a new life on the right footing would be incredible, thanks to you.
