Just as I was about to drive off to Kentucky for Cryptidcon in my 2001 Honda, our 2015 mini-van's water pump went out. Now that's only a $500-$700 part but the labor is going to push the fix well into the $2500 range and makes going out of state for a monster convention a very iffy prospect.

I hate to ask for help but if we could pass the plate and possibly get some assistance from our MonsterTalk audience it would be a huge relief. I was hoping to find enough money to justify buying a newer computer for my audio editing but that's off the table with this repair eating up all our "spare" money and then some.

(I don't even know what spare money is - but if just 10% of our MonsterTalk audience gave $1, this problem would evaporate in a rose-scented puff of generosity.)

Again - I *HATE* to ask, but if you like the work we do here I can assure you that my brain works better on editing Monster House projects when I'm not looking under the cushions for spare change every 10 mins.

Thanks for ANY consideration towards helping out me and my family as we approach the holidays.
