Kelli NEEDS a Car
Donation protected
That's it, I'm doing it!
I've been without a car for two years now!!! I bust my ass daily, seven days a week, working 3 jobs and I still can't save for a car because of all my medical bills that only seem to stay the same no matter how much I put towards them due to my horrible insurance in the past that didn't cover any MRIs, overnight hospital stays and, more recently, the BRCA gene test. I ride the train every day and in just a couple of months I've witnessed a suicide, an attempted murder by gang members, drunks, half naked women at 6am, and even been followed so I have to arm myself with multiple weapons just to get to and from work. Anyone that knows me knows how hard it is for me to ask for help, how generous I am when I have things to be generous with, and also how independant I am and how much having a car would literally change my world - my wellbeing, my anxiety, depression.... 90% of it is from not having any independence anymore and always having to ask for help or for rides. I never see anyone since I don't have a car. I miss seeing my friends!! I would drive 30+ miles to get to people over the years or across town to give a friend a ride somewhere and didn't think twice about it, but no one ever comes to see me. That's okay though - I just want to go to work and not fear for my life the entire way. (Three years in the Middle East didn't even do that to me!!!) I want to be able to drive a couple hours to visit my mom and the rest of my extended family. I want to get in my car and just cruise like I used to do and clear my head with my babygirl. I want to be able to run errands on the weekends and take mini road trips taking photos because that's when I'm the happiest. I want to be a normal adult again! Someone help a hardworking girl out :)
