GARDNER, Kan -- If you've ever checked out Craig's List, you know you can buy just about anything. One ad caught our eye on Tuesday with the headline, "Everything Must Go." The story behind that headline involves a single mom who is trying to sell almost everything she owns to buy a car she desperately needs.

Melissa Schulz wears a lot of hats in life, but being a mom is most important. She has two daughters, five-year-old Lindsey and two-year-old Lauren. Lauren has special needs that require Schulz to take her from their Gardner, Kansas home once a week to Children's Mercy Hospital in downtown Kansas City. Lauren has a genetic disorder. She has heart problems, seizures, kidney reflux among other things.

Schulz works part-time as an elderly caretaker, but saw her finances spiral out of control about six months ago when she had to have a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy at the same time. Then two weeks ago, her only car broke down on Interstate 35. A mechanic told her it couldn't be fixed so she decided to sell almost everything she owns on Craig's List so she can buy another car to get Lauren to her appointments.

She is selling her wine hutch, dining room table, a high chair, a baby gate, an office set and much more. She's even selling her bed. What isn't up for sale is anything that belongs to her kids. Still, the single mom says all the stuff is replaceable, but her daughter Lauren is not.
