Dear Johnny,

I don't even know where to start. My family really needs help.

My husband Richard and I both work full time jobs, we have 4 children. This summer we had to move out of our home we had lived in for over 8 years. The landlord had sold the property and we needed to find a new place to live.

Not long after moving, Richard was in a car accident. He was T-boned as someone ran a red light near Kansas Avenue and K32.
His car was totaled.

We are now down to one car and doing our best to keep our heads above water with Christmas on the way.
We have fallen behind on a few bills, but most importantly I owe $200 to get my tags registered (they expired in September). As it is our mode of transportation, we are in a tight spot, some months we both worry if we are able to pay the bills and keep food on the table for our children. I have applied for food stamps but simply put we make $67 too much to qualify.

I sometimes feel like I am failing my children, but I know...where there is a will there is a way. I would love to get our only car legal if anything else, as well as make sure our children have some sort of Christmas.
We are grateful that you took time to read our letter. I promise to pay it forward once we are able to get back on our feet.
Thank you for listening,
Sincerely Abby Packer

Who Helped: Jim. Kevin, Joe & Myles, Bobby, John and Consentinos

How You Helped: Caught up on rent and gas bill, got the car tags legal, Christmas for the kids and groceries
