Hi! I am her long-time friend, so let me introduce you to Marsha.
She is a special education teacher that hasn't been able to work for the past 2 years, and I do not know when (or if) she can go back to teaching. She has no family support, so is in the difficult position of asking others for help. Unfortunately, she also doesn't qualify for any of the governmental or charitable financial supports.

I'll let her tell you more about her situation:
I am allergic to the 3 current Covid-19 vaccines. I have an impaired immune system and several underlying medical conditions, so I am also afraid to actually get sick with Covid-19. Therefore, I have learned to live in semi-isolation, but this does not allow me to work. I have used my savings over the last 2 years, and my state retirement plus social security is not enough income without me teaching part-time.
I am in jeopardy of losing my car because I cannot consistently make the monthly payment. If I lose the car, I will no longer be able to go back to my job as a substitute teacher, nor will I be able to go to my numerous medical appointments.
I need financial help to make this $500/month car payment plus the $200/month in the numerous medical co-payments. I need this help at least until a vaccine that I am not allergic to (like NovoVax, which is approved in other countries but not the US yet) finally gets approved here.
I am asking for financial help making these monthly payments, or a donation of a different vehicle.
Any amount is most appreciated. Thank you, in advance!
