Howdy. I’m John Robinson and I’ve been a touring line dance instructor for 25 years. I drive to most of my gigs—I’ve probably spent more time riding in a vehicle than doing anything else ever! My current mode of transportation is a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, affectionately known as “Vannie Van.” She has more than 419,000 miles on her and has served me well. But almost every month I’m having to take her in for repairs, so it’s time to find new wheels.

It’s difficult for me to ask for assistance, especially financially. But having spent more than $6000 on this van in just the last few months, I simply don’t have enough cash on hand to purchase a new vehicle.

Any contribution of any size will be helpful. Thank you!
