Why I'm using HandUp for car maintencne.

I would appreciate help with car maintenance. I only use the car when I have to go long distances or pick up people for church and I try to walk or ride my bike everywhere else. I'm on a fixed income and try to budget for repairs and gas, but sometimes there just isn't enough money for general car upkeep.

About me.

I've lived in the Detroit area for my entire life. I'm lucky enough to have both of my parents still living and I try to see them and other family members as often as I can. My health prevents me from doing all the things I used to do, but I still get around okay.

My backstory.

I lost my wife back in 2001 and I haven't had a stable place to stay since then. Losing her really affected me and I tried to numb the pain of her passing. I've been in and out of shelters in the tri-county area but haven't been able to have a place of my own. I'm currently unable to work due to a a few chronic health conditions.

My goals, moving forward.

I want to focus on improving my health so that I can get back to the person I used to be. My health has improved a lot since I got my own place a year ago. I've started to feel more like myself again now that I've had a place to call my own.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

I'm a faithful Christian and find joy in getting to attend church every week. I've had some personal demons in the past, but I have been clean and sober for some time.
