I am finding it increasingly difficult to get in and out of my car and my question is do you think if I set up a go fund me page it might work? I only ask that because I’m on disability now I can’t get a loan because of I’m on low income and I can’t work because of my disability. Any help on understanding this go fund me stuff would be much appreciated hugs 🤗 all round

I know a family that started a go fund me and sent to all of the people they know
This man, who helped others, fell off a roof, helping another family resulting in grave injuries to himself. Their goal was 20k.
And they raised 15k. In retrospect the community came to their aid.

His wife couldn’t work as he was “hospitalized “ at home.
Unfortunately he didn’t have insurance.

I’m not sure about a car but I understand your dilemma. My Ford Taurus for example was much easier to enter and exit than our low infinity with wide doors.

In conclusion, I’m not sure go fund me is the avenue
But talk to disability associations in your area who might assist
Or even your motor vehicle bureau.

Hugs,
Judy

You didn’t state what you will use the money for.

I take turmeric and black pepper fish oil and Super B-Complex as supplements but every morning I get those symptoms. I'm not sure if it works. Like if I would be so much worse if I didn't take them don't want to find out.

I would suggest an X-ray or CT scan in your hips if you can’t get in and out of your car. It’s not the car.
