Four days ago, this fundraiser came to a sudden halt. And while $6,685 changed my immediate situation in ways I genuinely needed, thereās still one pretty big piece left hanging.
First, let me say THANK YOU. Every single person who donated, shared, sent a message or helped get this in front of more people helped me crawl out of an immediate financial hole. I was in serious trouble, and yāall helped me breathe again.
The money helped me get out of extreme debt, cover Dittoās insurance deductible and replace my car on Saturday. I can get back to work. I have transportation. That is HUGE.
Am I still living in extreme poverty? Absolutely. š But at least Iām not trying to climb out of the hole with a shovel made of wet cardboard anymore.
Hereās whatās still unresolved: I owe my best friend $4,500 for the car that was wrecked.
They helped me when I needed a vehicle, and I need to make that right. I donāt take that generosity lightly, and I donāt want to leave them carrying the cost of this situation.
So Iām asking one more time: can we get this fundraiser moving again?
If 90 people gave $50, weād cover the remaining $4,500. If thatās not realistic for you, $5 helps. $10 helps. Sharing this post might put it in front of someone who can help close the gap.
Iām not asking anyone to rescue me from poverty. Iām asking for help finishing what we started together.
We showed what mutual aid can do when people come together. We got me back on the road and helped cover an insurance deductible. Now thereās one more debt to tackle.
Letās finish this.
Donate through the fundraiser link in my bio. If you canāt give, please share this post to your stories and send it to a few people who believe in mutual aid.
And to everyone whoās already helped: you gave me room to breathe when I desperately needed it. Iāll never take that for granted. ā¤ļø
