2024 has NOT been kind and with my 60th birthday approaching I'm raising funds for TWO unexpected emergencies that feel as though they'll kill me before I get there.

1. My Car: A "New Year's" oil change (from a reputable biz) damaged FOUR of my car's gaskets rendering it undrivable since early January ... Being unable to drive not only cost me my job but because Bowling Green has no public transit, the Lyft fees (just for procuring bare necessities + medical appointments) have been brutal and I need your help to get my car back on the road so I can rejoin the workforce before it's too late.

2. My Knee: Not long after the car fiasco (and losing my job), I slipped and broke my knee. Atop the next level pain, the injury is extremely debilitating and I need your help to fund the required surgery so I won't become a permanent jobless invalid.

Thank you very much. Being suddenly car-less, jobless and unable to walk is a triple whammy that's destroying every aspect of my life and there's NO WAY to turn this around without your support.
