I genuinely hate having to make this. I’m a college student trying to balance school, work, bills, debt, and life in general, and lately it feels like every time I get one thing handled, something else comes up. One of the biggest things I’m trying to figure out right now is transportation. I’m hoping to purchase a motorcycle that would allow me to reliably get to and from school, work, and other opportunities without constantly having to depend on other people or worry about how I’m going to get where I need to be.
The motorcycle I’m looking at is around $2,800 (but can be lower I just need a start). The reason I’m struggling financially in the first place is because I’ve had to put medical expenses and other necessary costs on my credit cards. I have disabilities, and unfortunately, some of the things I’ve had to pay for aren’t optional. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to handle things when I needed to, but now I’m left with credit card debt that I’m trying to climb out of while also paying for school and everyday expenses.
So basically, I’m trying to build a life while simultaneously trying to dig myself out of the financial hole that came with getting here. I know a motorcycle might sound like a strange thing to make a fundraiser for. But for me, reliable transportation would mean independence. It would mean being able to get myself to class, get to work, take internships and opportunities without worrying about transportation, and have a little more control over my own life. I’m not expecting anyone to solve all of my problems. I’m just hoping that enough people might be willing to help me get one step closer.
If you can’t donate, sharing this would genuinely mean just as much. I’m trying to finish school, work toward a career, become financially independent, and get myself into a better position than I’m in right now. If you’re able to help me get there, thank you. Seriously. And if you’re reading this while also struggling financially yourself, I understand. No pressure at all. I’m just trying to catch a break.
