This page is to help me get a reliable car so I can start my first job and get to work every day, and I’m ready to earn and be independent.

Hawke's Bay

I’m really not one to ask for help like this, but I’ve hit a point where I don’t have many options left. I just got offered my first real job, and I’m beyond ready to start working, earning, and building a better life for myself. The problem is, I have no reliable way to get there. I don’t have family I can count on for rides, and public transportation doesn’t run near where I’ll be working. I’ve been trying everything asking around, saving what I can, even walking miles to interviews, but now that I’ve actually got the job, I’m stuck.

I found a solid used car that runs well and is reliable, but I need around $3,500 to get it and cover basic registration/insurance to get on the road. This isn’t about luxury, it’s just about being able to show up every day and not lose the opportunity I’ve worked hard to earn.

All I want is the chance to prove myself and stay consistent at work, and having a dependable daily driver is the only thing holding me back. If you’re able to help even a little, it would mean everything. And if not, just sharing this or sending some good energy my way is more than enough. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Use of funds

The money will go toward buying a reliable used car, covering registration, insurance, and any basic maintenance needed to get on the road safely for work.
