Good day, generous people,
I really have no idea how to start…
I’m requesting help raising $61,000 to help me pay off debts which are vehicle loans ($58,551) and pay back a friend who lent me $2500 a few years ago when my son passed away (March 2023) in Oregon so I can bring him home. I live in Utah.
Why not ask the family? Two of my kids live hours away and so do my siblings. They are busy with their own struggles. My parents passed away several years back, but they struggled all their lives.
I was a single mom and raised four kids. I have no retirement savings or a house. I live with my oldest daughter and two grandkids, whom I adore. I help with household expenses regularly. I am 59 years old, working as a self-employed traveling technician. This balances my life with grandchildren’s schools’. Mom works full-time for a manufacturing company. I make decent money, but I drive too much.
I took vehicle loans over the years to help me travel for work. These vehicles have high mileage. I really enjoy my work; it gives me the feeling of being in my element. I like being in the field of fixing things. The fixing makes people’s lives better. I am glad to be a part of that. I am not lazy. Just saying my loans are not a reflection of my personal character.
Going back to my loans – It would be great if I could not have any payments which will enable me to save. With the amount I pay out on loans plus regular expenses, saving is extremely difficult and costs are not getting any cheaper. I am hoping to work into my much older years.
I would really love to have a fresh start to provide a better life for myself. Recently, everyday feels like I’m stuck in this motion and no change however, I’m doing everything I can to provide the best, happiest life for me and my family, I just wish it was without financial pressure. Without the uncertainty my source of income can be different where I’m not driving so much.
Thank you for taking the time to read my “begging. I know in my heart you will be blessed 10 times over in richness. Therefore, thank you very much.
Sincerely
-E.L.
