My name is Alex, and for years, I've been bringing homemade pickles to local markets and events. It's not just my business—it's my passion and the way I connect with my community. Recently, my car broke down unexpectedly, and without it, I can't make it to the markets or events where I sell my pickles. This has put a sudden stop to my ability to reach the people who look forward to my products each week.

The funds from this fundraiser will go directly toward repairing my car. With your help, I'll be able to get back on the road, attend markets, and continue sharing my pickles with everyone who enjoys them. Your support will not only help me fix my car but also keep my small business alive during this challenging time.

I'm reaching out to my customers and community because I truly need your help. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to getting back to what I love—making and selling pickles for all of you. Thank you so much for considering a contribution and for being part of my journey.

Where the GoFundMe donations are going

Every dollar donated is going directly toward getting our vehicle back on the road, which is absolutely essential for keeping Three Dogs Pickles running.

Specifically, funds will be used for:

• Diagnostic and labor costs from a vehicle computer/ECU specialist

• Electrical and engine-related repairs, including restoring power to the ignition/coil system

• Replacement parts if the ECU/PCM or related components are confirmed to be faulty

• Towing and mobile mechanic services while we’re stuck out of town

• Rental or temporary transportation costs, if needed, just to get home safely and resume work

This vehicle isn’t just transportation—it’s how we:

• Get to farmers markets and events

• Transport jars, supplies, tents, and inventory

• Fulfill online orders

• Keep income coming in so the business can survive

Because of this breakdown, we’ve already had to cancel markets and events, and every extra day off the road makes it harder to recover. Your support helps us cover these unexpected expenses so we can get back to doing what we love—making pickles, showing up for our community, and staying afloat as a small business.

We’re incredibly grateful for any amount, whether that’s a donation, an order from the website, or simply sharing the link. Truly—thank you for helping us through a really tough moment.
