Last Thursday my car started smoking and broke down on me in the middle of driving. After speaking with multiple mechanics, I was informed that it was an engine problem that cost nearly $3,000 to fix and is only a temporary solution.
Although I live in the city, having a car is necessary for my career as a freelancer and for my mental health.
Here are reasons why I need a car
- I vend my art at various locations throughout the city almost weekly and I need travel with bulky items such as a tent and table.
- I have trauma based therapy in Delaware that doesn’t allow out of state zoom calls.
- I have really bad anxiety with walking around at night due to being held at gun point last year and my car provides that physical safety.
- Additionally, I have prior commitments that I only took on because I know that I have a car such as teaching art classes and taking night classes.
I come from a low income family so I don’t have financial support in that area and therefore I have to rely on my community to crowd fund. I’m trying to raise $5,000 to buy a decent used car.
