I am a father, who is self-employed.

Hi everybody!

I'm a father, married to an amazing woman and we have the cutest 7-month-old boy. Our life usually is living from paycheck to paycheck, but we don't complain too much, because, in the end, we manage. Also, we own 4 cats: Fluffy, Baby Boy, Nacho and Pepper. The reason we ended having 4 of them is due to a lack of ability to give them away, because the effort we put in them made us too invested. Their mom didn't feed them properly, so we bottle fed them all.

The reason I'm here is that I damaged my work van. Due to a lot of effort taking care of the baby + cats and tiredness, I ended up crashing the van into a post (couldn't keep my eyes open for a second or two), damaging an important part of it. I've been too tired lately since I'm unable to take a proper vacation for at least 3 years (only had a week-long vacation last September). What I've damaged are the tire, rim, a metal panel above the tire, and the axis, making the front of the car uneven (sorry I don't know the correct terms for car parts). Most important is the axis, it needs to be replaced, otherwise the car will end up being damaged more just by driving it. And the steering is completely inaccurate due to it having a lot of play in it.

Right now the only solution for me is to end up in even more debt, which I have no way around at this moment, but if there are any kind souls here, any amount would come a long way to help me recover from this.

I need this van to be fixed and depts to be alleviated, so I can take care of my family and remain sane along these difficult times.

If you can't support me, I still thank you for taking your time to read this. Perhaps sharing it wouldn't hurt ♥

May you all be safe during this never-ending pandemic.
