Help a Veteran Get Back on the Road

My Story

My name is Leo Nocedo, and I'm a veteran living on Social Security disability. For years, I've been able to maintain my independence through having reliable transportation. Last week, everything changed when my vehicle's transmission failed completely.

As someone who has always prided myself on being self-sufficient, this has been a difficult situation to face. The cost of repairing or replacing the transmission is simply beyond what I can afford on my fixed income. Without a vehicle, I'm now unable to get to medical appointments, handle everyday errands, or maintain the independence I've worked hard to preserve.

Why I Need Your Help

Transportation isn't just a convenience—it's a lifeline. Without a vehicle, I'm facing challenges getting to:

VA medical appointments and healthcare services

The grocery store and pharmacy

Social connections that help combat isolation

Places I need to go to maintain my quality of life

I've always been the type to handle things on my own, but this situation is beyond my current means. I'm reaching out to my community, friends, family, and kind strangers who might be willing to help a veteran get back on the road.

How Funds Will Be Used

Any contributions will go directly toward:

Purchasing a reliable used vehicle to replace my current one

Registration, title transfer, and insurance costs

Basic maintenance to ensure the vehicle is safe and dependable

I'm looking for a modest, fuel-efficient vehicle that will provide dependable transportation for years to come.
