I'm raising money for car repair so I can take my doctor to her weekly appointments and apply for employment.

Why I'm using HandUp for car repair.

I am still trying to find a job and until I get a job I need help with car repair. My daughter received eye surgery due to a bb gun shooting in her eye. She is okay, but now my car is having trouble. My car is older and needs more funds than I have to maintain. I am trying to save for a new car, but right now my current car is all I have, Any amount will help us out a lot!

About me.

I've lived in Pontiac for most of my life and now I'm raising my children in the same city. I'm a single mom just trying to keep my family together and provide for them as best I can. I'm a mom to 3 girls and 1 boy. My kids always keep me on my toes and make me want to do better.

My backstory.

The last 3-4 years have been really hard on me and my kids. I've struggled as a single mom to provide for them and sometimes I came up short. I've always done my best to give them a safe place to stay and to make sure they kept going to school. Having a job that didn't pay enough or not having a job at all sometimes led to us losing our apartments and having to pick up and move a lot.

My goals, moving forward.

I have a chance to start fresh and have a clean slate. We just moved into a house that is perfect for our family. We are excited that we can be a family again and live together instead of spread out at family member's homes. My oldest daughter is now in a better school district and it is my goal to have my kids follow their dreams. I want to find a job soon as well as go back and get my GED for myself. I want to be a positive example for my kids.
