Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am really hoping you can please help me to raise money for a new car. I have been providing 24hr care for my mom, so I can’t work; I’m on ssi and I haven’t been able to save money for a car because my funds are tied to important bills. I’ve been so focused on my mom that my self care routine has been neglected, which is causing some health issues to arise. The lack of sleep has taken its toll on my body. Doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong and more tests are needed to be done. I would like to get a new car, so I can take my mom and I to our doctor appointments, dental appointments and even make quick errands at the grocery store, if needed. I thought I could do without a car, but lately life challenges have made it difficult to ignore.
I usually rely heavily on my healthcare insurance for their transportation benefits for non-emergency medical visits, but sometimes they can be unreliable. In the past, I have had 4 times where I scheduled a driver and they canceled on me. I had to wait for another 30 minutes for another driver to come get me, which made me late for my appointment. That’s time wasted because I have to get back home to help my mom. The downside to this program is I have to give the insurance company an 3 days notice for when I want to schedule a pick up for a doctor appointment that they must approve first. I think it would be awesome to have a car for my doctor appointment, so when a doctor can pencil me in for a walk- in, it wouldn’t be an issue. I can’t do that with this program. Although I’m very grateful for my health insurance and their program services, the thing is, I can only use it for doctor appointments. I can’t take it to do grocery shopping or run quick errands. I have to rely on third parties apps like Walmart plus where I can order my personal items, but I grew extremely fearful of leaving my food in the hands of unsupervised people. I’m on a very tight budget, so I can’t get an uber or a Lyft. I have to depend on my sister to get us food. Unfortunately, She works and lives far away and it’s been hard to us into her schedule. I know there are people with far more grave and dire circumstances than me, but I thought I would just ask. Like that saying You never know, until you try. I usually don’t do this, but my back is against the wall and I don’t know what else to do to solve this. Thank you for your time in reading this. Anything helps and I’d be very grateful for your help. – PayPal.me/Jenlove444
