Hi, I’m raising money because I have had a rough year. I had to move in a hurry because there was an attempted break in & shoot out in the apartment right above me. I was terrified for mine & my kiddos safety. I didn’t have any savings, so it was rough to come up with the funds, but I did it with some help from my amazing aunt. A couple of weeks after moving, my transmission went out on my car which was already being held together with literal duct tape. I sold it and used the money for a down payment on another car. Since my credit is not in good shape & I didn’t have a co-signer, my payments were expensive. Over $800/month. I was already living on a strict budget, but adding in the car payment caused a snowball effect with late fees. I couldn’t juggle it all, and my car was repossessed. I have been taking Ubers & Lyfts to work every day, so funds aren’t getting any better. I have been so desperate lately, I took on a couple of payday loans just to buy food, so now I’m paying those back too. I’m trying to get a cash car and get back on track so I can make it on my own again. I’m so embarrassed, but I really need the help. I have borrowed from a lot of people and I am feeling really guilty about not being able to pay it all back yet. I didn’t have a big catastrophic event, but a lot of little ones have added up to me asking for help.
Update: Thanks to the help I have gotten so far, I have gotten a car!!! I am now just trying to get March’s rent paid (since it’s almost April now). After that, I should be able to get back on my feet!!
Update: If anyone interested in helping would like to help directly with rent, it’s the Westmoor Apartments in Duncanville c/o Trishaleta McDonald. I do not qualify for rental assistance.
I also have cash app or Venmo if you would prefer to donate that way. $TSMcD09 for CA & @Trisha-McDonald-9 for V
