e: 1006/1200 raised for a new bike! so close already! thank you to everyone who shared and donated so far!
surprising perhaps only me, my life absolutely exploded again. i have very few resources at the moment. 75% of my tiny disability benefit income goes to rent, and my mission-critical ebike was stolen, leaving me stranded in a desperately filthy boarding house.
i need funds, for transportation and supplies. i cannot walk long distances, necessitating a bike or scooter and delivery services
anything helps, especially sharing this post anywhere!
through the kindness of others i have already raised 170 us currency units, and that is a hell of a start! here are some rough goals:
$400: a used electric scooter. i would like to avoid this seeing as they dont tend to be durable as bikes, but it will serve to help me get to and from bus stops
$800: a new electric scooter! i would be fine with this, with the only drawback being i live in michigan and apparently these guys dont like rain. with a new scooter under warranty i would trust it further with my large body
$1200: a replacement ebike! safer, faster, waterproof enough, and hella range in addition to being designed to carry my legendary bulk; this would also allow me to get the exercise i need to treat my lymphedema. the ideal. the most freedom i could buy.
i dont expect to make $1200. if i can get close to any of these goals, i can put the purchase on a credit card and eat interest for a couple months or whatever.
