Help me and my blind boyfriend get a car
My boyfriend is legally blind and disabled. His last careworker abused his position and neglected him, so I had to take over his care. Because of this, we lost access to a car. I'm only 20 and never had a car before, and with our current income, it's very hard to save for one. His entire SSDI check goes to rent and bills, and I'm responsible for some bills and all household expenses. We currently rely on Uber and friends for rides, which is expensive and unreliable.
Not having a car affects nearly every part of our lives. We have to ask friends for rides to the store, and sometimes miss out on activities like LARP every Thursday, which is important for his mental health. We've been invited to play cards with friends but couldn't afford the Uber. Every time we call an Uber, it costs a lot, and we have very slim time frames from friends. Having a car would let us get groceries, attend medical appointments, and participate in activities without worrying about the high cost or relying on others. It would significantly improve his quality of life and help him feel less isolated and depressed.
I want to thank anyone willing to donate. My boyfriend has had a very hard life, and losing his eyesight was a huge blow. He found some independence with his previous careworker, even though it was a bad situation, but now he's lost that freedom and has become very depressed. Your donation would help bring back his freedom, allow me to provide better care, and hopefully bring more happiness to his life.
