 Hello my name is Randy.  I have a wife and two young daughters that depend on me. I have fallen to some unfortunate events of recent. I have let my family down because I became ill and was unable to work.  Our car broke down needing a new engine ($2250 )and that is with me doing most of the work,  otherwise it would have been $5000.  Our heat got turned off during the freeze and the bills are starting to pile up.

I have a beautiful one year old daughter who I can't let down.  She's amazing...her smile is what keeps me going .

I have just started a new job.  I'm not looking for a hand out,  just  a little help to get back on my feet and I will pay every last cent back MY WORD. 

Please help us.

Thank you, 

Randy
