The Mountain Moved
Time for an overdue update for those who have been following and supporting me in helping Felicia get back on her feet.
Update on the car:
We finally found out that Felicia was sold a car that was marked for salvage and the man who sold it didn't have the title. He was deceptive and sold her something that was no longer meant to be driven. So, we pivoted from trying to get that title to working on getting her another car.
John is good at finding used cars so I put him to work and we found a low priced used SUV that fits all 5 kids. I reached out to a few people personally and we were able to raise enough funds to get the car and it's legit - she has a title, tag and insurance! The man who sold us this car was so kind and helpful and worked with us on the price as it needed a couple of repairs. I was so encouraged by those who so generously helped us get her that car.
It was a joy to see the mountain move!
She was able to get the other car "junked" for parts and they gave her $550 for it which has gone to pay next week's rent. So, not a total loss.
Update on the job:
Felicia doesn't have a start date yet for her nursing care job, but has been told that she will be put into an orientation group this Thursday or next. The wheels turn slowly!
Thankfully she's also interviewed with a temp agency that will employ her in seasonal holiday work in a Tik Tok shop warehouse as soon as this coming week. If that happens this week she will get her first paycheck next week.
So, things are moving along but not fully resolved until she has steady income again.
Food stamps will renew next week. Until then and until her first paycheck arrives she still needs help with food and gas.
