Hi, I’m Nathan.

I work as a paperboy/carrier and I recently had the two-year periodic vehicle control on my car and it failed the control, so I need to get everything fixed before March 31st. If I don't, I won’t be allowed to use my car until I can get it fixed. I have to use my car for work and we're contractually obligated to keep our cars in good condition and up to the requirements of road safety. Since I'm dependent on my car to do my job, it's crucial that I get it fixed because I could potentially lose out on a lot of money from not being able to work. Which I can’t afford. My family doesn't have the means to help out and I can't get a loan due to not having a high enough income.

The estimate I got from the auto repair shop was about $1700 (17250 NOK).

I currently have 70% employment and am the main provider for my family, so this isn't just for me. This has taken a major toll on my mental health and I feel exhausted in a way I can't put into words. The stress and worries are affecting my daily life.

Asking for help isn't easy for me and I had hoped it would never get to this point, but I've run out of options. I've tried my best to sort it out on my own but I've realized I've reached my limit, and I need some help.

I truly appreciate anyone who took the time to read this. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Even the smallest contributions help more than you know. If you can't, that's totally okay. If you can help spread the word by sharing that would mean a lot too.

To avoid some confusion since the donations have to be made in my currency, the exchange rate is: $1 = 10NOK/€1 = 11NOK
