Hey everyone, this is Silas/Jason.

My vehicle recently broke down again and needs repairs. While I initially asked for a small amount of money to help me get the car released back into my hands plus food for two weeks, the amount raised exploded exponentially.

As such I'm gonna see if this might be the way I cover the repairs entirely. The serpentine belt is busted, as are several pistons and starters inside the actual engine itself. With the necessary labor and parts, the total came to around $2,600. If that can be paid out of pocket, this frees up my income from the next few gigs for my basic living expenses and pays off the loan I took out for the first few repairs the vehicle needed some two months ago. If I can't raise the funds, I have still made enough to retrieve my car and start the process of getting it fixed. But if I can, I can get back on my feet a lot faster and a lot easier than if I stuck to cycling to work. I appreciate everyone who has donated so far and thank everyone in my community for this fantastic outreach.
