Hello my dear friends, it has taken a lot to build up the courage to create this, mostly out of fear of recrimination or character assassination, but under advice from you, my friends, I'm gonna take a leap of faith that my true friends would never attack my character. So here goes, as you all know, I'm dealing with multiple health issues combined with severe mobility issues and a limited income from disability benefits. I currently have no car and as such find myself trapped and isolated in my home with no freedom or independence. I must rely on my awesome neighbor to help me get to the store for groceries and other necessities, and to get to my many doctor's appointments. The isolation is detrimental to me as my physical and mental health are compromised.

I'm weaker now and lighter than I was in high school and I'm 59. Prior to my cancer battle, I was a vibrant and robust 6' 274lb man, strong and fierce. Now I'm hovering at 160 lbs facing, as I said, multiple health issues. Also, I have no live social interaction whatsoever with the exception of a very small group of neighbors and local friends.

I find myself desperate. I don't wanna be that guy that just wastes away alone at home with no one there with him but his dog and cat. I want to rejoin the land of the living again. I want to engage and interact with the world again, more social interaction as opposed to primarily social media interaction.

All that being said, I am swallowing what little pride and self-respect I have left and am humbly asking for help in getting a car. I'm not looking for fancy or expensive, just something reliable and safe that won't break down and incur a repair bill which I wouldn't be able to afford. I'll humbly accept, with gratitude, any help I can get. In advance, I'd like to thank you all for your kindness and generosity. Please don't judge me poorly. Everybody always says when you're in trouble and need help, just ask. Well, under advice from more than a few of you, I am asking. Thank you, my dear friends and loved ones. Hopefully, I'll see you on the road, or maybe at the dog park with my beloved Gigi. Oh, by the way, Gigi says thank you because she knows she'll be able to once again travel wherever I go.

Love ya
