MaureenMower
Catscan show serious spinal deterioration — doctor’s orders: no buses (too much jouncing), no carrying anything heavy (like groceries), and very little walking. Needs a car to keep her out of a wheelchair even more than to get a job.
|
Car Goal: $2,750
Progress: $2,750
Aug Goal: $1,400
Progress: $855
|
Maureen lost her job last year, was homeless for months and now has a small apartment. Some income via online transcription jobs. Major goal is for a car for health reasons as well as to find better-paying work (and be able to see her in-the-next-county doctor for pain Rx without a $250+ round-trip taxi or a cheaper but not cheap U-Haul rental pickup truck). |
