I’m looking for a little help with getting my first car. I’ve spent about a year and a half, on driving lessons and 4 total tests, with all the issues around booking a test in the UK. On Thursday, I finally passed.
I’m very proud of myself, it was on my own dime and in spite of my ADHD, which I’m still working through trying to get along with, nevermind it getting along with my instructor!
But the lessons for a year and a half have burned through the savings I had aside for a car.
Public transport in my village comes and goes three times a day, my nearest shop with anything more than bare minimum is a 20 minute drive away, so you can imagine how long the walk to and back is. Nevermind my GP surgery now not serving the area as much and needing to travel a hefty 40mins by car, if I can get a friend to help.
Additional to this, a big reason at the moment is that I want to be able to help my family with things. My grandfather has been in a care home for a while, due to a mild stroke, hernia, and a broken shoulder, he is not currently fit to do much at all, so I would like to go keep him company, same with my gran, who remains in their home alone.
I promised them both I’d see them in March, the month of my last test which was a whole 6 month wait. I’m a little late beyond that! But I just hope to get a car soon to get to them, and get on with my own life too.
I appreciate the time you’ll have taken to read this and any donations are welcome, I’m looking at a goal of £1,000 to get something decent and get me on my tires as it were.
