Help Rika Secure Reliable Transportation

My name is Rika, and I'm asking for your assistance in funding a replacement for my car.

My current vehicle, a 2013 Ford Fiesta, in the past 8-9 years has seen me through a transition, various jobs, and most recently a move across the country from AZ to PA. However, it's now on its last legs. I've been working on making repairs to the machine over the past few months so that I could pass Pennsylvania emissions, but the latest estimated repairs are adding up to over $1500, and this is after I've already spent over $1000 on it. Tack on that I'm already not very financially sound due to the move this year taking all of my funds, as well as various other legal costs resulting from the move. Unfortunately I need to have a vehicle for daily errands, grabbing medicine/groceries, as well as seeing my partner who lives a few hours from me.

I do not like publicly asking for help, but some close friends of mine have urged me to make this GoFundMe to ask for funding assistance - money going into this fundraiser will go towards recouping the costs/stabilizing my financial situation, because I am going to need to finance another (used) vehicle and I don't have much of a foundation to begin with. The amount I've posted should help a lot, and anything extra would go towards extra payments on the vehicle, as it's going to be another monthly charge for me to manage. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and for any consideration towards donating.
