My name is Tarah and I have chronic illnesses. I would like to get a job and better myself, but I need a car in order to do so.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Hello, my name is Tarah and my life has been greatly affected by chronic illness. Over the years I have had multiple operations, seen many specialists and had to pay for so many prescriptions just to be pain-free. All this whilst studying full-time. Over the last year, I have been going to the gym and losing weight to better myself and get myself to a healthy place to enter the workforce and contribute to society. All I want is to be normal. The next step in my journey to recovery is to buy a car so that I can apply for jobs relevant to my degree (many of which require me to have my own mode of transport). All I want is to be like everybody else, who seem to have their lives so together, you know? And for years my life has been so badly affected by my illness and FINALLY I feel like I am in a better and more healthy state, both physically and mentally. Any help would be so greatly appreciated in my journey of recovery and making a better chance for myself. Since I still have to budget for meds, doctors appointments, the gym etc saving up for a car has been very hard.

Use of funds

Help me buy a car so that I can apply for jobs and make a better life for myself. I don't want a fancy or expensive car, just something I can use to go to work and apply for the jobs I want.
