<div>Hey folks! Alana here. I've been driving my little salvaged buggy for 7 years, but she's finally given up the ghost. I've driven her back and forth across the continent, over mountains, and in swamps from Oregon to Pennsylvania (towing double her rated capacity) and North Carolina to Canada in triple digit heat and through blizzards. She's been instrumental in getting me to training, work, and hauling supplies and people in my activism and hurricane relief work, and I've gotten about as much out of her as she can give. As of a week ago the transmission started overheating and is on its way out. She drinks a quart of oil every tank of gas, needs new ball joints, tires, engine work, and electrical work, and it's gonna cost more to fix her than she's worth (again).

<div>I generally have enough money to pay my bills every month, but not much more beyond that. As a result, replacing my car isn't really in my budget.

<div>I've been counting on my partner for transportation for the past week but she won't be here much longer and public transit in Pittsburgh isn't particularly reliable or cost-effective.

<div>I'm going to do my best to make things work, and I expect I'll need to start doing some gig work to cover the extra expenses, but I'd appreciate any breathing room y'all can provide. I know most folks don't have much to spare, but your donations will directly facilitate my continuing community work and mutual aid. Thanks!
