Help John Get A Working Car

Donation protected
Hello! Thank you so much for checking out our fundraiser.

My name is John and on my team are Angie (to the right with me in the photo), Meredith, Nikhil, and Vanessa. I am a Bay Area son, musician, and recently joined the ranks of the 65+.

My car, which doubles as my home, is in dire straits. My team and I have done what we can to fix its issues, and, per many a mechanic's recommendation, have decided it's best to look for a new car. She seems too far gone. :/

We've set our sights on a used Subaru - solid, workhorse cars, with a large market here in the Bay Area. We have our eyes on an impeccably-maintained 2000 Subaru Outback for sale by owner in Novato for $2975 (or something similar if it sells before this fundraiser is complete). Here is the link if you want to check it out: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/novato-2000-subaru-outback-wagon-awd/7590917992.html

[Quick fine print: GoFundMe takes 2.9% of each donation, plus $0.30 per donation. so our fundraising goal is slightly higher than the car's cost, to cover these fees. We have also increased our goal, given the outpouring of support we've received so far, to include DMV transfer fees and six months of insurance.]

My current car was purchased via a GoFundMe, so we are hopeful this community can come through again!! Thank you for any support you can provide - donating to or sharing our fundraiser, sending leads for well-running/low-costing cars, etc. You can reach us via the "Contact" button in the Organizer section below.

Huge thanks from our hearts to yours.

#LoveForJohn
