My name is Richard, and I'm retired, living on a fixed income. Each month, half of what I receive goes straight to rent, leaving me with very little for other essentials. Because my income is just above the limit, I don't qualify for Medicaid taxi rides, which makes getting around a real challenge.

Having a car would make a world of difference for me. It would allow me to get to my medical appointments and buy groceries without having to worry about how I'll get there. The stress of not having reliable transportation has been weighing on me, and I know that having a car would help me feel more independent and secure. It would also open up the possibility of finding a part-time job to supplement my income, which Medicare allows.

I would be so appreciative for any support you can offer. With a car, I could get my chores done, stay connected to my community, and maybe even earn a little extra money. Thank you so much for considering helping me—your kindness would truly make a difference in my life.
