Hello family and friends!

Francine Perry here, and I've been facing some really tough times lately. Over a year ago, I lost my job, which led to losing my car and eventually my home, as I couldn't afford the payments. This was a dark period for me, especially with my son's deployment in the army in April 2022. My daughter-in-law was alone with my two grandchildren in Georgia, so I decided to use this hard time to help her while my son was away. After all, with the absence of a job or transportation, it was the perfect opportunity for me to be there for family. I stayed with them for six months, providing childcare while my daughter-in-law worked part-time, finding joy in helping my loved ones.

When my son returned this February, they brought me back to Virginia. Here, I now support my daughter and her two young children as she's navigating both work and completing her Master's degree amidst a difficult time in her relationship. I've been watching her children for five months, enabling her to work without stress about childcare costs. I've recently been offered a well-paying job in long-term care, a field I adore, but the location is an hour away from where I live. I need a vehicle to secure this job and support myself and my family. I've set up this support registry aiming to raise $5,000 to get a reliable car. Your help would mean the world to me.
