#IBelieve! A Brighter Journey for Jade and Sherron

**Update**

We sincerely would love to thank each and every one for their contribution, loving words, and overall encouragement. I was not sure how this would turn out, but we were able to reach more peoples lives than imagined. Everyone knows words can't express enough, but we are beyond grateful as it has truly lifted our spirits to experience people giving unconditionally and with pure intentions. Thank you all for sharing and spreading the word. Even though this fundraiser is providing a more stable future for us to be apart and give back to society, YOU all are the real gifts!! Keep shining and bless you all 10x folds.

Hey to all that is reading, my name is Sherron and that's my sweet daughter Jade and I am a firm believer in helping others. The vehicle that you see us in I purchased back in 2015. Fast forward 6 years later to 2021 during one of the biggest economic shutdowns thanks to COVID; it was taken while I had been hospitalized for endometriosis.

During the lockdown I had several instances which led me to being hospitalized several times within a 5 months span. In December 2020, I was sent to the hospital; about a week and half, I had to back to the ER and needed further treatment, during which I reached out to the credit union about an extension and was rejected. April 2021, 3 days after getting out of the hospital, my sister drove me back home to find my car was not where I parked it. It took a couple of days of calling my insurance, local authorities and asking the property management of my residence before I located it. After speaking with the credit union representative; they stated I was a month behind and they repossessed it. I agreed to pay the monthly note plus fees but, the very next day the I got a voice-mail telling me they had forwarded my car note to over $8,000 and demanded I pay in full before it was to be auctioned off. I wrote to the company chairman, financial chief and got no response. I filed complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and after a few days of not receiving a confirmation email, called them to find out that they somehow had lost my initial order that was submitted online, so I had to file again. My request was transferred to the National Credit Union Association a month later, and finally in December 2021 they made a decision in favor of the credit union.

While all this is going on I was working parttime remotely online and Jade was forced to be homeschooled, before, she was attending a school in another city and due to Covid the school cancelled transportation, and I was taking her to and from. I contacted tons of attorneys most claiming 'conflict of interest', the legal aid board, different types of other agencies and even the Governor of this state who's assistant referred the legal aid agency while waiting to hear from the bureau, so that same month in December I filed suit. Long story short, the judge requested I amend my complaint but by then I was already overwhelmed, burnout, and disappointed by the actions of individuals working in these fields. My last scheduled payment for my car loan was April 4, 2023. I have paid over $20,000 on the loan. During Covid there were extra laws and ordinances put in place to prevent further damage to people and the public at large, unfortunately, the officals who swore to uphold the law don't always honor what they chose to protect.

While public transportation is useful and grateful and we truly appreciate and love all public workers (they make the world go round) it misses some spots. Alot of savings have gone into just getting to different destinations from doctor appointments, to those farmers market in the country, repairing my laptop twice but still something is wrong, Jades online school programming.. cat appointments, etc.. it's not enough. And like some places, the neighborhood and area is increasing in drug activity, countless shootings, random violence. It's just us.

Too many people go silent needing help and never asking for it when it's the one thing that can turn their lives around.. more importantly they go misunderstood; most never receiving the help they need. Your support and generous donations can stop all of that and lead to more individuals to be brave enough to speak. Each donations whether it's $1, $5, or whatever is given will allow us to be mobile and move to a better environment that fitting for us to prosper. We would also be more than gracious to accept a donation of a vehicle (which would lower the donation goal tremendously!!) as well. My goal like a lot of parents too is to be in a community which encourage and nourishes Jade's talents and skills; promote growth and character. It is not easy asking for help, sharing personal experiences but I have personally seen people come together and do amazing things. Thank you if you've read this far and we appreciate your uplifting thoughts and prayers on this journey. And if you find it in your hearts please consider donating, ever little bit makes a big difference.
