Support Rhandi-Jayne's Journey to Independence

Howdy hi! I'm Rhandi-Jayne. I'm in desperate need of a decent, safe used car for basic transportation so that I can be somewhat independent, as I'm disabled. Nothing fancy or flashy, just something safe that I can easily utilize, get into/out of safely, and not add more stress to my situation.

I have several disabilities that are overwhelming at best. Thankfully, at this time, Medicaid has been helpful for treatments, needs, and surgeries. After two joint replacements, it's been a tough journey. Another surgery is coming up. For several years, doing many basic things like taking out the trash, doing laundry, and standing to cook meals has been a fight, but I'm determined to keep moving forward, becoming stronger little by little, and reaching new goals. My support system is very limited, as is my disability income. I've always been a person to help people like myself; now I am the person in need.

Many times, I've been stranded at the hospital with no way to get home, passed by public transit for disabled persons, and unable to attend necessary doctor appointments, etc. If I had a car, I would be able to have access to things such as food banks, the hospital without taking an ambulance, even getting my own mail from the mailbox, going to get a haircut, and going to a park to watch the birds—things we take for granted. Also, I would have shelter if homelessness became an issue.

My goal is simply to be as independent as possible.

Thank you for reading this and for your consideration.
