After the Darkness
The night was long, the road was steep,
I lost my strength, I cried in sleep.
But even shadows fade away,
And broken hearts can greet the day.

After the Storm
Though night may steal your colors away,
The moon still shines through skies of gray.
No storm can keep the dawn at bay,
Even the darkest nights must fade away.

Can we do this tonight? Only $150 raised so far this week. She checks out the vehicle tomorrow, but I bet the seller won't hold it.

$2,200 needed to buy it:

First is Emily, who has GOT to get a working vehicle if she's going to survive. She's supposed to reapply next week for her job [supposed to be held while she recovered from her broken arm, but corporate nixed it].

She needs a car. Found one for $2,200:

She found one for $2,200, but right now? She can't even pay her $45 phone bill.

Her car, which doubled as her home for a very long time, is now dead. It can't be revived. She needs to replace it. She's found a decent used one for $2,200.

She's nowhere near that goal. Help here:

Third, Emily, fighting her way back from a year+ of being alone, unhoused, living out of her car, arm broken in 7 places and never properly set.

She might be cleared to return to work next week! Her car is DEAD. She's found one for $2,200 cash:

Emily, who needs to raise ~$2,200 to replace her dead vehicle [she lived out of the old one for a year or more, unhoused and all alone with a multiply-broken arm].

Again, right now? Any amount helps: spot.fund/zm874q7sc

Fourth, Emily, whose job is being held for her while she recovers from a broken wrist. She has no vehicle either [hers crapped out permanently a few weeks ago]. She's found a good one for $2,200:

Second, Emily, who saw the Pathfinder today; owner will take $2K. Seems sound; mechanic will check it out.

Her horrifying backstory is here: bsky.app/profile/wing....

She'll probably need another $300-500 for TTL/insurance. But for now, the $2,200 is the big thing, b/c if the vehicle's sound, IDK how long the owner will hold it.

We've raised a lot more than $2,200 in under a day. Can we do that again here?

If it's doable, figure another $300 for TTL & insurance.

We've raised much more than $2,500 in a single night more times than I can count. Can we raise maybe a quarter of that overnight tonight?

And finally, Emily, desperately in need of a reliable vehicle to get to and from work, and to doctor's appointments for an refractured in two places.

She lives outside a tiny town north of here. A guy in her area is selling a Pathfinder that seems sound for $2,200. Figure $2,500 for TTL and insurance.

She has none of it, of course. We can change that:

And finally, Emily, no longer living out of her car [temporarily], but that car badly needs repair or replacing. She's got a job interview this week, but she needs a vehicle to get her to work if she gets it.

Again, $25 is all we can afford right now. But if 20 people match it, she can at least get food/gas and get it into the shop for a DX:

Emily is trying to get back on her feet after a horror show of a year. She's only raised $20 so far. Her car is dead. Can we maybe raise $500 this weekend, so she can price repairs next week?

Emily, who's been through the wringer in a different way, needing to get on her feet, get her vehicle running or replaced, and cover meds, etc.: spot.fund/3bs1w5lsc
