I have been debating on making up a gofund page for help to purchase a vehicle. Since I am on a disability pension it is hard for me to save money since I only have $60 left for groceries and necessities after paying bills. Im unsure what to say on the fund page for family and friends especially to those I dont know very well and to those that dont know much about my situation. GoFund seems to want the ad to be posted on social media to assist in getting donations. I havent told my plans to anyone except two people that still keep in contact with me even through everything I went through. which in my life is a whole long sad story. I have asked them if they would be able to set up a page for me but they are skeptical about doing it. If someone else does it I need to be able to trust that I will get any money raised and I dont have people I trust that much in my life. I dont know what to do to make enough money to get a vehicle. I could to use my disability cheque I will get in a week but with what is available in my area my cheque isnt enough to cover the vehicle, registration and insurance. If I keep my cheque to save it, I will have to move out right away. Although I wouldnt mind so much but dont have anywhere else to stay and I have two dogs. I also dont have a way to go out and look for a vehicle or know what to look for when buying one. right now my landlady takes me to get the rent money and groceries so if I asked her to take me to look at vehicles she would know I am moving and I dont want to be kicked out before I have somewhere to stay. because of my disability, tents and a backpack are not an option. I feel like Im stuck in my situation. being disabled there are not alot of options. i dont make enough to actual live on, yet I make too much to qualify for any community (welfare) services (I get $1000) I know if i got a car, i might be able to make due with the small space with the dogs and sleeping would be very painful for me causing mobillity issues. so it would need to be very short term in a car, which if i did buy it i would be short that money for a van. I really want to do this and know that if its meant to be it will happen but I worry about what if its not meant to be? will i be stuck in this basement, housebound? Im so tired of just existing, i want to live before I die :s
Does anyone have any suggestion for how I can make this work? vans in my area are from $1000(cdn) needing a bit of work done to $5000+ ready to drive away.
