My car is dead. There's something wrong with the battery and I need to take it to the shop. I live in a rural area so access to food, or emergency help for the pets requires a car that works.
I'm offering some discounts. Animated icons for 20$, colored sketches for 10$, and I'm lowering the price of my flat color characters to 35$, cel shaded characters will be 50$
Please spread the word if you can. I need to be able to get this car fixed.
Edit: it's a problem with the alternator so I'm needing to make up 800
Edit 2: you guys are incredible and already helped with a little over half the cost! It's 380 left and the cost will have been made up!

It isn't just that I needed the new part. It was that I'm in a position where I live in a rural place. It'd take half an hour for someone in town to get to me if there were an emergency of any kind. So I had to get the car jumped by roadside assistance. Drive it to the shop and have them figure out what the hell was going on.
The issue with the alternator killed the battery too (drained it fully twice in a week. So new battery, new alternator, tests, labor, and tax. Granted the alternator was more expensive in terms of parts than I'd like to pay and I know I ended up paying a large mark up on the parts because I went to the mechanic, but at that point I really didn't know why the car was dying and wasn't in a position where I was able to walk away (otherwise trust me, I would have)
It's just shit luck that the car broke down as soon as basically my support network went to another country for a few weeks.
best to have friends who are mechanically inclined...yeah, batteries and alternators can be a pain in the ass
Would like a color sketch.
