Donate for a New Beginning in Recovery

Donation protected
Hey everyone! I've never been one to ask for help until it's pretty much too late! I've struggled with asking for help my whole life, but a good friend of mine urged me to do this. So here goes nothing.

I am rebuilding my life down here in Bangor. I was sober for 10 years and thought I was doing great, until I relapsed over a year ago and everything just spun out of control. I lost everything I worked so hard to get. I was a dry sober for those ten years. I wasn't doing the 12 steps, I didn't have a sponsor, and I didn't attend meetings. By the grace of God, I'm alive today. I am sober today. I am volunteering today. I have a higher power today. I am attending meetings today and actively searching for a sponsor today. I found what I was missing for all of those years. I needed to be unafraid of telling my story, and I needed God to take away all of those material things I worked for because I wouldn't have come back into recovery with a vengeance.

I am starting all over and I'm actively searching for a job down here. I still am a cosmetologist and have my associate's in health information management. I have a tour of Beal College on Monday, to hopefully be accepted into the Nurse Practitioner program. I need some help with travel around the Bangor area. I am looking to buy an electric scooter, so I can DoorDash around town and earn money until I find a job. I still have my driver's license, but want to earn my own money to buy my own vehicle again. If anyone can donate towards this scooter purchase, I would be forever grateful and forever thankful. I will honestly pay it forward when I am able. Thank you everyone who has helped me when I was sick. I am blessed. Thank you for hearing me out and supporting me with your prayers for a new beginning.
