Help with car repairs so he can keep going to the doctor
|
Goal: $2,200
Progress: $740
|
Cancer and chronic severe pain, needs car fixed: URGENT: gasket seals (leaking oil over the entire engine area); important: 2 tires, shocks, and ball joints replacement — not necessarily in that order. So he can work and make his many doctor appointments (for both chemo and chronic pain meds Rx). Chemo is really taking it out of him, so he’s not online much. He does check back and respond later. |

Thanks to the folks who gave Tony their knowledge (and links) to help him get a more reasonable estimate for his necessary auto work — can’t say yet, but he might be able to reduce the goal.
jtg
Needs help with car maintenance/repairs (safety — and inspection — issues: airbag, defroster fan, and tires).

Car Goal: $3,300
Progress: $2,080
Pay Goal: $3,500
Progress: $2,430

jtg is a popular substitute teacher in about 6 districts. The car is required to get him to those 6 districts. In summer there’s no school and therefore no income. An artist as well as a teacher, another way to support him is by becoming a Patreon subscriber or buying his artwork. |
