Save Matthew's Car
Donation protected
This campaign is to raise enough money to allow my son, Matthew, to make his car payment and keep his car.
He's had a really rough year so far. He -- we thought -- sprained his ankle back in January. For a month he walked on it, went to work on it, did everything he needed to do, only complaining occasionally of pain.
It took the ankle giving out under him at work, in February, before he went to the doctor. Xrays showed he'd broken the ankle joint. He had to quit his job, and was in a cast for two months before getting a walking cast, and then a brace. Once he was cleared to work again, he had trouble finding and keeping a job. Then, just as he found one that worked, one of the toes he had surgery on LAST year, got infected. Again. Very badly.
So, he had minor surgery (again) with orders that he's not to return to work until he's seen the doctor again (and probably has the same minor surgery on the other toe).
Matthew and Megan both have jobs lined up with UPS, as delivery driver assistants. But they don't start until November 1st. When Matthew went in to talk to the manager about an extension on his payment, and why, with paperwork to back everything up... they gave him two extra days. Which is CoB tomorrow (Friday, the 6th). Obviously they won't be able to get to work without a car.
He needs *at minimum* $320, but since we're also two months behind on insurance, we need that as well. (Total for insurance, $190/mo x 3 -- to include Oct -- = $570.)
I set the requested amount at $500; that's the minimum total he needs. Anything over that would be wonderful, and he (and I) would be beyond grateful.
Please, help Matthew keep his car. If you're unable to donate, could you please share the information here? We're very short on time, at least to make the car payment.
Thank you so much,
Matthew and Kim Gasper
