Make it on in time for Christmas.Surprise for my grandchildren

## The Christmas Surprise That Almost Wasn't

The twinkling lights on the Christmas tree felt miles away, mocking my stranded situation. My faithful old Corolla, my trusty steed for countless family road trips, had finally given up .The engine sputtered, coughed, and died just as I was about to embark on the most important journey of my life: a surprise Christmas visit to my grandchildren and my younger children, who had bravely moved across the state for new opportunities.

This wasn't just any Christmas; it was to be a celebration of their resilience, their hard work, and the enduring bond of our family. I’d saved meticulously for months, picturing their faces lighting up as I surprised them. I'd even packed my beloved dog, Ollie for the trip - he’s their furry uncle, after all.

But then came the devastating news from the mechanic: irreparable engine damage. My saved money, intended for festive treats and thoughtful gifts, vanished into the gaping maw of car repairs. Now, I'm left with nothing, my dream trip shattered, and the overwhelming despair of missing Christmas with the people I love most. The thought of disappointing them, especially my little ones, is unbearable,my heart just broke.im crying now. They're counting on this special Christmas; I hear it in their calls, and in their excited texts. My family , My parents are deceased.. My siblings have abandoned me they understand my predicament  can't offer financial help. I’m alone in this, except for Ollie, whose comforting presence and has been the only one that seeing the tears at and heart brake meny times   

Twenty days. That's all the time I have left to find a solution. To find a car, any car, reliable enough to get me across the state to witness the magic of Christmas with my children and grandchildren. The thought of seeing their faces, of holding them close, fuels my determination.

I'm reaching out, not just for money, but for a miracle. A chance to make this Christmas a memory that will last a lifetime, a Christmas filled with the laughter and love that only family can bring. Any contribution, big or small, would be a lifeline, a step closer to fulfilling this desperate, yet deeply heartfelt wish. Thank you for considering my story. Even sharing my story would mean the world to me. I do appreciate your help and every single way. You can not imagine and how long have you been waiting for this to happen?

 Thank you. And I hope you'll have a man christmas.
