Testimonial
This person has left the following thank you note:
My family would like you to know that you have sincerely helped a family that was stuck. I did not have a car to drive for several months. My son has an old truck that will not last much longer and he lost his job. There was no room in his truck for a car seat, so my daughter who has a 2 year old could not go anywhere. My car was totaled; it could not be repaired; although I have insurance, the company would not carry my car because I had paid my car off 2 years earlier. That was a very hard decision to make- to not repair it anyway; the car had special meaning to me. 3 years before another son, David, died, I had bought that car and he helped me pick it out. After about 4 months, my son began working on on older car, that I had given to David, when I had bought the wrecked car- which had that special meaning to me. It was old and paid off; David was in college. He did not mind it. It had not been drive in the 3 years since he died. Thomas worked on it a little at a time and finally I could drive it short distances. Toyotoas have special meaning to me. We had 4 children who learned to drive on our first toyota (they were ten years apart) and the car lasted us about 25 years. So the 16 year old car my son Thomas picked up, I expect to last at least 5 more years. The money that will be donated to us, will allow me to fix a few more things on the car and it will be safer to drive. I am now a substitute teacher for a large district and I only go to schools near my home. My granddaughter and daughter can now go short distances and our two year old loves her car rides! Your kindness in donating has really made a difference in our daily lives, during a very difficult time. Basically it enables me to work. Thank you for your generosity. Cathy, Thomas, and Catherine Adams
I'm an Essential Worker with Two Jobs. I Lost Work to COVID and Need Help with My Mortgage Please!
My Story:
I am the mother of two young adult children and a grandmother to my beautiful granddaughter, all of whom live with me. Prior to the pandemic, I was working two different part-time jobs. One was as a substitute teacher, and the other part-time job was as an art therapist at a behavioral hospital. Technically, I qualify as an essential worker. My 27-year-old son was working full-time as a driver, but he lost his job and it took him over three weeks to even apply for unemployment due to the system being overloaded. He still has not received a check yet. My daughter is disabled and is unable to work. Her daughter, 20 months old, is as sweet as she can be, and we love her very much. I also had a son who tragically passed away two years ago, and I am still paying off his funeral costs.
Recently, I have been unable to work after getting into a wreck, which required me to take unpaid time off in order to recover. Even when I was able to return to work, schools had closed down so I could not return to my job as a substitute teacher. I still have my other part-time job but losing that income has really affected my ability to pay my bills. Currently, I need help paying my mortgage.
This help would allow me to stay current on all of my bills and it would really help my family get through a difficult time. Even before the pandemic we were struggling, especially after the death of my son; however, I am still confident that we can achieve a reasonable level of self-sufficiency if we can just catch a break this one time. Thank you all so much for taking the time to consider my family for your donation.
