Roughly 4 months ago, someone stole my recumbent e-trike, having cut the lock. The damn thing was expensive, and the insurance money has unfortunately had to go towards bills and cost of living. I'm not in any danger of being unable to afford to live, yet, but in my unemployed, no-income state, I will not be able to save up to replace my ticket to the world (which, for the same specs as the one that was stolen, would run me about $5,000 USD). So I'm turning to crowdfunding.
I'd like to not feel like I'm stuck in this house. I'd love to not have to beg for rides whenever I want to do anything more than a mile away. I feel so bad for asking for help with something like this when so many others on this website need money just to survive. But if I don't ask for help, it's a guarantee nothing will happen. So, if you have something to spare, and you're feeling generous... the link's up there.⤴️
Got another couple of donations this week, from names I don't immediately recognize, so this must be spreading past immediate acquaintances. Thank you all so extremely much for the assistance and signal boosting - I still have a long way to go, but I'm looking into options for any slightly more affordable rides.
