Living in Hillsboro, Missouri, life has thrown me some curveballs. I'm 52, and my wife is 67. We've faced challenging times, especially when we became homeless waiting for my first social security check at the end of 2024. Those months taught us resilience, and we eventually found a place to call home again. However, our journey is far from over. Our vehicle has broken down, and without it, getting to medical appointments and handling day-to-day needs has become a struggle.
We rely heavily on that car, not just for errands but for medical visits that are crucial as we navigate health issues common in our age. Our fixed income makes it impossible to afford a new vehicle on top of our medical expenses and bills. We're trying to raise $5,000 to buy a used car that can pass emissions and safety inspections, restoring some much-needed independence and peace of mind for us both as we continue this phase of our lives.
