After Our Car Was Totalled, We Need Help Keeping Our Children's Home Please!

My Story:

I'm a married mother with three amazing children. My oldest is 14 years old and loves Pokemon, Harry Potter, and Minecraft, and he also loves his after-school wrestling and cross-country. My 3-year-old son loves playing with his big brother and with Legos and dinosaurs. My 4-month-old daughter has recently found her feet and is moving all over the place now which is exciting! I work part-time at a middle school as a cafeteria worker, and my husband works full-time at a local factory.

We usually make enough to pay our bills, but we never really have room for much more. So, when our vehicle was totaled, it took a heavy toll on us financially. We had to replace our care because it's the only way for us to get to and from work and school. We're a month behind on our rent now after having to put a down payment on a new car, and we desperately need help if we're going to keep our home.

With this help, we'll be able to keep our home for the foreseeable future, and we'll be back to being self-sufficient again. This would be a great example to our children as well, and we promise to make sure they know what's been done for our family. They've been having a hard time due to Covid-19 and this would be a huge boost to all of us, and it would show them that there are extremely kind people in this world who really care about our family despite not knowing us personally. On behalf of my family, I want to thank everyone who takes the time to consider us for this generous assistance. I promise we'll never forget it.
