In Bad Shape
5 years ago
As some of you have been made aware, either directly or through watching my streams at certain points, my life has taken a sharp downturn recently. It has been a few days since the event, as I have spent time collecting myself as well as taking many actions to course correct, but I will now put it all out for y'all to know:
On Tuesday, December 15, my car started overheating near the coolant tank to the point of smoke. After taking it to the mechanic after work, they informed me on Wednesday, December 16 that I would need to pay $8500 for a new engine. The head gaskets blew, but the entire engine is in horrible shape. Everything else is basically on the edge of falling apart and collapsing.
I obviously don't have this money.
Unable to pay for it, as not only is it too expensive but worth waaaaaay more than the used vehicle it was attached to, I had no choice but to get rid of it. And in the process, I've lost both my jobs as a delivery driver of newspapers and sandwiches. I won't lie: Both jobs barely kept me afloat to pay bills and little else. In less than 11 months, I beat that car to hell by putting a cumulative 50k+ miles on it. I can go on and on about many factors that contributed to that in addition, but at the end of the day the harsh reality is that it is unrecoverable and at least a portion of my fault to bear.
I have already made moves in searching for new job(s) as well as a replacement vehicle. However, undeniably so, I still need assistance in one key area: money. Money to pay for a new vehicle, and money to cover this month's upcoming expenses. I know I've already asked several times this year from all of you. I also know that this year has been hard on just about everyone, for similar situations to mine and due to the pandemic. Yet, I cannot do this alone, and pretending or acting like I can is not going to cut it. I am in dire straits and need whatever help any of you can provide.
everyone I am looking to raise $6000, which is to cover the cost of the car, the related taxes and fees, and bills for the month.
If you can help monetarily, you can donate whatever amount of money you can give directly to my PayPal, which I will link below. I considered doing a GoFundMe like with my car crash last year, but I'd rather cut out the middlesite (plus the fees are less in the end) for this one. The other way to help is to spread the word: I will post an journal on FurAffinity, a twitlonger on Twitter, as well as elsewhere soon. You can of course retweet and link to this and any of those posts to help spread awareness. Thank you.
UPDATE 1: So far, y'all have sent $2367.76 to me. Thank you so much... even if I don't make it to $6k this really means a lot to me!!!

I wish you luck in sourcing a new car. You will probably have better luck than me.
