My old Toyota Tacoma pick up, aka my lifeline between home and work, has been in the shop for three weeks. It needs a new clutch and exhaust, and the repair bill is estimated at $1,750. That’s more than I can manage on my own right now.

I live in Ypsilanti and work near the Detroit airport, and without my truck, I’ve been relying on $30 Lyft rides each way just to get to work. That’s $60 a day, Monday through Friday, except Thursdays for when I work remotely. These daily rides are draining my budget fast.

I don’t ask for help often, but I truly need it right now. I’m hoping to get the truck fixed so it can last me until I can afford something more reliable.

Here’s how your help can directly support me:

• $5–$10 helps cover part of a ride to or from work

• $30 pays for a full Lyft ride to or from work

• $60 covers a full day of commuting

• $100 goes directly toward the truck repair cost

• $1,750 covers the full cost of getting my truck back on the road

Every little bit helps, and sharing this with others helps too.
