Hello friends! 
I am hoping to raise some money to purchase a 2004 Prius from a friend for only 3k! I work as a teacher full time, currently working as an advocate and care giver for children at a circus summer camp! Unfortunately our society does not value education and the needs of educators and I have been living pay check to pay check trying to pay my bills and falling short every month! Beyond financial hardships I found myself chronically ill for the last 6 months, finding myself having to stay home from work and paying medical expenses. These things together have made it extremely difficult to save money to be able to afford to save money. Adding a vehicle to this equation, I think,  would enable me to have more mobility to work better more high paying jobs! In the past I have worked lucrative jobs nannying but those jobs usually require a safe, reliable car. Beyond being able to access better jobs I will be able to get myself around easily and help with family members and elders who have limited mobility and recourses. I can take my nieces and nephews on day trips, bring my dad lunch at the studio! Take my step mom to Berkeley bowl! Help people move! Get out of town easily! I am hoping that my community will come together and give what they can! I understand that everyone is going through their own hardship and I am hoping , lovingly for support where it can be given! Thank you for your time, with so much gratitude and respect! 
Warmly,
Mayahuel
