My name is Brandy Foster, and I’m asking for help to keep my family together and our lives moving forward. Everything began when my daughter became ill and I had to travel back and forth to Salt Lake City for her care. The trips, the move that followed, and the bills that stacked up caused me to lose my job and fall behind—especially on my car payment and insurance. Without a working car, keeping steady hours and caring for my family has become incredibly hard, and the stress has touched every part of our home.

I’m a hard worker and I now have a permanent job opportunity, but I need reliable transportation to work full, 40-hour weeks and to manage my family’s appointments. We’re living in a small place that barely fits us, and every month of falling behind makes it feel more impossible to catch up. I’ve tried to handle this alone and I don’t like asking for help; relying on others is difficult for me. But I also know that getting our vehicle back, staying current on rent, and keeping insurance active are the keys to stability—so I’m swallowing my pride and reaching out.

This fundraiser will go directly to the essentials that let me stand on my own feet again: (1) catching up on the car payment and reinstating insurance so I can reliably get to work and take my daughter to care; **(2) covering past-due and current rent to prevent us from slipping further behind; and **(3) a small cushion for utilities and basic necessities while my hours stabilize. These steps will immediately protect my job, our housing, and my daughter’s access to care. If generosity allows us to go beyond these first needs, additional funds will help build a small emergency buffer so one unexpected expense doesn’t push us back under.

Thank you for reading and for considering any support—a donation, a share, or a kind message. I will keep receipts and post updates so you can see exactly how your help is used. My goal is simple: secure our car, protect our home, work my full hours, and give my family the steady footing we’ve been fighting for. Your kindness helps us turn a very hard season into a path forward.
