Today after being a year without a car Today was the day that I told myself it’s time to put it in Gods hands…
A whole year of not being able to go buy my own groceries and pick out the good grapes the months of worries sick what if he misses the bus What if the school calls and he needs to be picked up all the tears all the worries all the heartbreak over not being able to go visit my other grandkids, When they ask RaRa when are you coming to town? It tears my heart into 1 million pieces.
(RaRa for Granma)
Today was the Day I said I can’t keep on this way this isnt Life.
With Tears in my eyes I sit down on the couch and an Add pops up It is about people getting funding for things that they needed help with.
I said no way,
I said What could it hurt it can’t hurt any worse than the pain I carry around daily.
My name is Tammie, and at 63 years old, I am fighting to regain the life I have lived for my family for decades. I have been a mother and a grandmother my entire adult life. For years, through every child I raised, I held a perfect record: I attended every single school event, every ceremony, and every milestone. I was always there, cheering from the front row.
The Heartbreak of This Year
This year, for the first time in my life, that streak was broken. Because I lost my vehicle in July 2025, I have been forced to miss every one of my six-year-old grandson Ashers school events. The most painful moment was missing his graduation from kindergarten into first grade. Asher didn’t just graduate; he earned two special awards for his hard work. While other children had families there to celebrate them, Asher had no one in the audience because I had no way to get there.
Not only him But my other grandkids I have missed Birthdays,
This isn’t a Handout—A Restoration of Duty
I am raising Asher on a fixed disability income of $900 a month. On this budget, I am struggling every month, and saving for a car is a mathematical impossibility. I am not asking for a handout; I am asking for my life back so I can fulfill my duty to this little boy. To our home as well for myself.
I can’t get up and go to the store if we are out of milk, I can’t look over and Say hey let’s go get a ice cream or go to the park I can’t get in the car and go to the Doctor if I’m feeling unwell by the time I get share a ride to book me a ride I’m feeling better.
Just the everyday Task I can’t do.
And as each day goes by it’s getting harder. I am trying my best to hold it together but when you start looking at yourself as a Failure and you feel as if you are not showing your loved ones that you are more than just a Statistic then what do you have.
A Sustainable $15,000 Goal
I am seeking $15,000 to purchase the last vehicle I will ever own and to cover one year of insurance. This isn’t about getting the “best of the best”; it is about securing a safe, reliable vehicle that will last for the rest of my life so that I never have to miss another milestone or award ceremony or a Birthday again.
