Help Secure Rivvy a Car! :3
Donation protected
Hey everyone! I would like to start my introducing myself I’m River, a 26 year old disabled trans woman who is suffering a crisis with her partner. Rue and I have been carless for going on 3 years now and it has become an issue we absolutely cannot keep ignoring/putting off as it is stopping us from progressing anymore in life.
- This all started with my car dying on the north side of Indy and then subsequently being towed and considered a loss due to the repairs needed and the cost of even getting the car out vs the value of the car “I could just buy a new car” is what I was constantly being told as my bill racked up at a tow yard.
- Shortly after that we had to move on moments notice due to our home being sold underneath of us while being signed to a lease causing us to take any car money saved and dump that into moving.
- Shortly after moving into our house we had a loving friend move in and help where they can on groceries and some cleaning but were unemployed due to their disabilities and could not find supplemental income causing bills to fall onto us the Lease holders and since then it has been game of trying to chase bills and live paycheck to paycheck.
- We are now living in a home with utilities we cannot afford if saving for a car it doesn’t add up in a budget simply. We moved into this house with the intention of having three people paying bills and unfortunately that never happened and it has really set us back. Since then they have moved out and are starting to move belongings, which may open the door for a potential roommate.
- Even more so in the current weeks I have crashed my bike and had to spend our utility money on that, I had lost my phone that I have to use for work, I had got a very serious case of poison ivy and had to buy medication for that, and our AC went out: all of those also required me to miss or leave work in some capacity causing me to lose even more money.
I suffer from BPD, Major Depressive Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder (hyperactive and anxious), General Anxiety Disorder, and a few more I could list but all of these are things I deal with daily and holding a job is also hard and while I do not go unemployed I often job hop, I will make manic choices, I work myself to a point of burnout, I have moments where I split and I cannot help but just ask for help and that’s what I’m doing here because I’m trying my hardest. If you have made it this far, thank you so much.
Much love, Rivvy :3
