Update 08/18/2022

There is a new sense of urgency in the need for reliable, safe, sustainable, cost-effective transportation.

Not having that for the last month has been highly stressful and costly.

Yesterday 08/17/22, I was offered a 3-month training to begin on 08/22/22.

It can lead to a Supervisor position in my department. I believe it will.

I must get to work 1/2 early to my 6 am start time to be fully present for this opportunity. I've been working hard and going to school with this position in mind.

I need your help to continue with this goal, this dream.

Hello

I'm Nancy (aka Chuck)

I'm a Low Impact Design Landscape Gardener in SF, Ca.

Environmentally, I believe I'm making a difference by providing and maintaining sustainable drought tolerant Rain Gardens and Bio Swales in our Urban Watersheds.

Recently, my vehicle was hit and assessed as a total loss because the repair cost was more than its cash value.

I no longer have reliable transportation to work, school, the grocery store, Necessary Dr. visits, volunteer commitments etc. Everywhere really.

Reimbursement promised to me for out-of-pocket expenses, rental car, tow truck, Dr. visits etc., has not been forthcoming. I have little faith that it will be.

In July, Geico Insurance closed every office in California, making it a"virtually" mind-numbing, bang my head against a brick wall experience.

I'm financially exhausted. Broke.

I've taken out a loan to cover the unexpected financial fallout.

My B4 round trip to work of 30-40 min. Takes 2.5-3.5 on a bus.

During Covid and a Monkey Pox outbreak, this is not safe.

I live in SF, Ca. Public Transit is often unsafe for a multitude of reasons.

A round trip in Lyft is $40-$60 per day. That's way too much for me.

Reliable, sustainable, cost-effective transportation is imperative.

It is much more than a want. It's a need.

I explained to a friend that I don't like to ask for help.

She asked me who I was hurting and if I did.

I said no one. But, I think that there may be someone. Me.

I need to get out of my way and my ego.

Humble me and ask for help.

I know times are tuff for many.

I'm genuinely grateful for anything you may be able to spare.

Much love to all
