Help Eric and his family get their vehicle back

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Eric Smith and there is no way I could explain how incredibly difficult it is for me to make this plea. Due to my wife losing her job because of Covid and my business being up an down, on May 3rd of this year my family and I were evicted. By early June our savings were completely gone. We've been living in hotels since being evicted and barely getting by. Our family vehicle was repossessed Tuesday July 6th. We've been given til Saturday the 17th to pay the money to get it back. My work tools were in it and they could not find my vehicle until Friday July 9th. I was not allowed to retrieve my property until Monday the 12th. So, I was unable to do any jobs until today, July 13th. On top of not having the money to get my vehicle back, we have no money for housing or food. My wife and I have been getting rides from family to donate plasma, but as we're only allowed to do that twice a week and they don't pay much, this has helped very little. We have the two of us, our two children, and two dogs, one of which is pregnant. To top it all off, our son turns 5 next Tuesday. We desperately need this money to get our vehicle back so I can work, I'm an independent contractor, and pay for a couple nights to keep a roof over our heads. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm so embarrassed that I've allowed it to come to this, but I just don't know what else to do and for the sake of my wife and kids I have to swallow my pride and make this desperate plea. If you are unable to help, I completely understand but please share this with someone you think may be able to.

Thanks in advance,

Eric Smith
