<div>My name is Randolph D Garrett living in Tumwater WA after moving here from where I grew up in the very expensive SF Bay Area. I have had housing problems for many years, but I am now settled in subsidized housing here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am severely disabled and elderly and have suffered from a lot of scams, squatting issues, and other incidents that have cost me a lot of money and all my personal possessions while under my limited SSI and food stamp money. I try to make money or get a job, but I have failed to do so partly from severe depression and very bad job market.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Autism and deafness have made friendship way too hard, and the depression pretty much has made me unable and unwilling to burden someone as a friend.
</div>
<div>At present my depression despite medication from my vehicle being undrivable has me giving up on life and doing any activity. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fixing up my Nissan Quest for my badly needed transportation will help me get back on the road to employment and fixing my poor health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have vertigo so that buses can be sickening so I need to drive my own transportation and I am dependent on my powerchair to get around instead of walking which I cannot do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It needs a timing belt, wheelchair lift for my powerchair, as well as the windshield seal replaced though that is not in the estimate. All other minor repairs I can do easily and just need to buy affordable parts over time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s a great vehicle for me as I’m morbidly obese and I can’t drive most other vehicles so it would be fantastic for me to go to college, to have a job, appointments, shopping, physical therapy, and much more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My situation:
</div>
<div>• I purchased a 1997 Nissan Quest minivan that is great for me with money from a totaled vehicle surrender to the insurance company.
</div>
<div>• Sadly, after driving for a bit, the check engine light came on and the code reader indicated that the timing belt must be replaced. I’ve stopped driving the vehicle and canceled insurance.
</div>
<div>• It’s perfect for carrying my powerchair with me to go to appointments and shopping plus getting food bank groceries I need.
</div>
<div>• I cannot get a loan.
</div>
<div>• I have bad credit.
</div>
<div>• I am 65 years old and disabled.
</div>
<div>• I have never married and have no children.
</div>
<div>• I have severe depression, but I am well medicated.
</div>
<div>• I’m a non-smoker, no drugs, no drinking.
</div>
<div>• I try to be the best I can be.
</div>
<div>• I’m on SSI and Food Stamps but no other income.
</div>
<div>• I have no friends here I Washington, nor family or relatives.
</div>
<div>• My brother is estranged and addict..
</div>
<div>• I live alone with one cat in a subsidized apartment.
</div>
<div>• I’m unemployed and nearly unemployable.
</div>
<div>• I’ve been scammed by a job market full of scammers.
</div>
<div>• I am a former uncertified tech wizard with no proof of knowledge.
</div>
<div>• I am planning on going to college soon when I can get financial aid after the vehicle is fixed.
</div>
<div>• I have autism, deafness, spinal injury, and poor health.
</div>
<div>• I have nothing of great value to sell.
</div>
<div>• I’m heavily in debt trying to make payments to improve my credit rating.
</div>
<div>• I use a wheelchair to get around.
</div>
<div>• I have no savings at all.
</div>
<div>• I have a defaulted student loan and a lot of debts.
</div>
<div>• I have a lot of financial problems.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What I need to do to get around better is to get the vehicle fixed and get the wheelchair lift to put my powerchair in the minivan so I can get around.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your money will be used to do that, and I hope I can get a total of $2,680 to get it all together for the wheelchair van so I can start living again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have suffered from decades of bad things happening to me from evictions without cause to scams robbing me of things and money.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve had problems getting assistance from the charities as they lack funds for this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope to be able to get a job using my experience in technology plus go to college to document my skills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help so I can get around and get back to life. I enjoy the area and am glad I have stable housing, finally!
