My name is Jimmy. I've spent my life traveling and performing to support my family.
A van for my job is crucial, it takes me to the job sites across the nation and provides me with a place to sleep at night so I can send more money back home to support my family.
My old van that I used for years died and due to not being able to travel and the increase in price of used vehicals recently, it took me almost two years to buy another one.
When I did finally buy one, it cost me nearly $6000. I had it for about a month and someone slammed into it in the middle of the night, while it was parked infront of my house. They knocked it off the street and up onto the sidewalk.
When our family went out to see, the people who hit us were gone.
We later found out, that due to our own error, we only had liability coverage. So now I am still paying on the vehical even though it is wrecked.
On top of all of this it has been in triple digit heat for a couple of months here with no hope in sight of cooling off (I work outside) and my health is bad and bills are stacking up.
We're scared.
The funds will be used to pay off the old van, pay other important bills and try and get a new van.
My whole life I have tried never to ask for hand outs, it was the way I was raised, but I feel it would be irresponsible not to, for my family's sake. This is just too much for me to handle on my own.
