A family in need of a helping hand! Please read!

Ok, this is not like me to be asking ANYONE for a favor but we are in deep and need ahelping hand. Our current car is a 97′ Taurus Wagon that seats 8 very uncomfortably. This is not the problem. The problem is the car is VERY unsafe due to many mechanical issues that my wife and I can not afford to pay for. We have 4 children ages 4,4,3,1 and I no longer feel safe for my family in this vehicle.  The car is on it’s last leg and it would be more logical to get a new vehicle than to dump money in the the current one. We have gone to different places to see what we can get for a trade in and all of the places are only willing to trade for a couple hundred dollars and want the rest in cash. We tried the cash for clunkers and our car is supposed to get 1 mile more per gallon than is allowed to qualify. So that didn’t work either.

The doors are falling apart, the inside is filthy and soiled, the front end needs repaired and I am not talking cosmetically. Everytime we hit a bump we ground out and/or hear a metal to metal sound. When we are driving you also here that sound when not even hitting bumps. VERY unsafe, but without a vehicle my wife can not work, my kids can not go to school and I can not make sure that they are all getting around to Dr appointments, run errands and look for employment myself.

So I wouldn’t do this unless it was for the best interest for my family. I wouldn’t be asking for a hand out on my blog, the internet, Twitter, etc. This has to happen though. We are saving too. Please don’t think I am asking for something and not trying to help myself as well. As of today I have $350 dollars saved and will have more in the coming weeks. My goal is $2000 or more. However long it takes, but the sooner the better. I have set up a Paypal account for anyone, I mean ANYONE, that would like to contribute to my cause. I assure you that ANY money that is donated will be used for the purpose of getting my family into a clean, SAFE vehicle that is appropriate for our needs. Nothing fancy, just a reliable family van that is a resonable price in sound mechanical condition.

I thank everyone in advance for reading and/or making a donation. There is NO set amount to donate. $1 gets me closer to my goal. I will be sure to add pictures of my current vehicle today in an update and when I have obtained our family van, will also add pictures of EVERYTHING to assure anyone that they made a great choice and for a great cause.

 

Sincerely,

Eddie Dollman Jr and Family.
