We donate to Paralyzed Veterans sometimes. If you find something, talk to me about the precise cost. You might find a Purple Thing ... it’s been very reliable, and you’d fit in one much more easily than Tom does.
I will look for a small truck. The vehicles are all worked on and road worthy, and the church is willing to give me $400 (the reimbursement for the truck the mechanic broke) as a down, and the rest is up to me.
Of course, I understand the need for up-front money for the sale, and I don’t mind helping a worthy cause. I even contribute to Wounded Warriors. But I will tell you what I find. I have decided not to go over $2000, because it will take me over a year to pay it back.
I just can’t pack those heavy groceries home, and ride the buses to doctor appointments. All of it stresses me out.
As soon as I got a firm answer from the church members, I began to look for something. There is a maintenance man here who has a ‘93 Isuzu Trooper that looks like ME! He wants $2300 for it, but is not in a hurry to sell. I’m sure if he had the cash, he would. He takes care of his vehicles, and I trust him, but we are not at the negotiation stage, yet.
So far, I’m just gathering data.
Wish me luck.
