Help Disabled Veteran Repair or Replace Vehicle
My name is Anthony, and I am a disabled veteran who relies on my vehicle to work for Instacart and support myself. Recently, my car has suffered several major mechanical failures, including a leaking water pump, valve cover gasket issues, and failing brakes. The head gasket is also at risk of failing soon. These problems have left my vehicle unsafe and unreliable, making it impossible for me to continue working and earning an income.
As someone who depends on my car every day, this situation has put me in a very difficult position. Without a working vehicle, I am unable to make deliveries, pay my bills, or cover basic living expenses. I am seeking help to cover the cost of these urgent repairs or, if repairs are not possible, to replace my vehicle with a similar one so I can get back on the road and continue supporting myself.
Your support will help me restore my independence and stability during this challenging time. Every contribution will go directly toward fixing or replacing my vehicle, allowing me to keep working and maintain my livelihood. Thank you for considering a donation and for standing by me as I work to overcome this setback.

Yes, I'm aware at this point it would be cheaper to get another vehicle, but similar vehicles run 3,000 to 5,000 locally and have their own issues. This is a decision I will have to make if this fund raiser works.
I have managed to secure a seemingly reliable vehicle, so I will be closing donations. Thank you so much for all of those who donated or shared.
