Help! Fix or replace my car!

Donation protected
Hi everybody! We’ve had a really challenging couple of weeks.

My partner’s two beloved dogs passed away in a terrible accident while we were traveling. In my hurry to get the remains and the survivors home to Asheville, I drove Cowee, my hybrid Ford Escape, across the state, without checking fluids, and without getting his overdue oil change. 

Turned out Cowee was out of oil. Driving 200 miles with no oil will do awful violence to a very friendly innocent SUV. 

Now Cowee is stranded at a Ford dealership in Hickory. He needs an engine and a transmission. The quoted repair price is $2500. I bought Cowee last year for $6500. Having just changed jobs, I have an empty bank account and am not in a place to buy a new car. 

So if we can raise $2500, I will REPAIR this excellent vehicle. If we raise less money than that, I will use it to REPLACE Cowee with a beater car. 

Either way, thank you very much for your support. 

Yours truly,
Jonathan
