Guess who is not too excited to be asking for money? Me. But my truck broke down and the $500+ fix I had to put twords it didn't fix it. So now I'm sort of screwed financially because I still need to pay bills and put more down to fix my truck. I'm also stuck 5 hours away from my college because I was visiting my hometown for the week to celebrate my birthday.
I was paid Thursday and this "fix" wiped out my entire paycheck.
Update: Originally was going to be fine at the $600. However, the last thing they were doing was an oil change on her. When they cranked her up they found out the wires in the front tire are exposed. Badly. This tacks on an extra $375 for the tires, at the cheapest. Which as you can imagine, I still haven't been paid yet and this is getting more expensive. I'm still stuck 5hrs away from college. It's bad enough they are not letting me take that truck out of the lot - those tires would blow and the ensuing accident would make my hydroplaning three years ago look like a joke.
Here is my PayPal for those that prefer this to GoFundMe. But either will work.
Goal: $1,100/$1,000
Update: WE HIT THE GOAL PLUS SOME.
The last person sent $300 via PayPal, setting me over the 1k goal I had. Because it was PP, I should be able to fast transfer it and pay the last bit I need to get my truck back today. I'll take her for a test drive and if I'm lucky there should be nothing else wrong with her and I can drive back to college tomorrow morning.
They did the work on her, my mom authorized it - they finished yesterday. But I couldn't get it back until payment was given in full. They don't do payment plans or anything of that nature. Hopefully nothing else is wrong with it either.
Thank you everyone that has shared and donated to this - I don't know what I would have done without your generosity and help. It is so greatly appreciated and I don't know how to properly thank you, but I hope you understand how greatful I am.
