Hi I am Melissa and I have had a really rough and rocky start to 2026. I am currently on my 3rd yr of addiction recovery and I have been blessed with thos second chance at life. I was doing good for a while.. but then things just started falling apart. I just started my new job less than 2 months ago and its barely paying me enough to pay my rent. But I have been trying to see the brighter side of it instead of breaking apart. Then on Sunday (mother's day) after leaving dinner with my son and mother... my car stopped working! ... -I have been without a car for 23 years.. and just got this last August & its the 1 and only posession that I OWN-.. as well as the only way around to and from work that I have. Because of this I have missed 2 days of work and have no way of being able to pay to get it back. Which is the biggest reason I have made this page. In hopes that maybe I can come up with enough to either get it back or atleast be able to pay for rides to and from work so that I can try to save up enough on my own. This has been a MAJOR set back for me.. not only financially.. but also emotionally & mentally. Because im feeling like I am loosing everything I have worked so hard to achieve these last 2.5 years. Im terrified that I will end up back on someone's couch or worse.. back living on the streets. So if there is any one willing to help me thru this I would be more than greatful. Thank you to anyone who has even taken the time to read this... even if you can't or do not support.
I am not asking for food or clothing because I am ok with having the minimum. As long as it will get me by. My main need is to financially be able to get to and from my job (lyfts or ubers) or hopefully get up enough money to be able to get my car back in my possession... Anything will help... anything will be greatly appreciated as well. I hope you all have a blessed day & stay safe
