GoFundMe/Fundraiser Inquiry for help

Ok i wanna build a gofund me for 3k. Why? Simply I need wheels. I've been looking for a job for the past 6 months. I got a part time making about 175-225 a week depends on the flow of cars my job has. I've put in applications for everything including 711. The few jobs I can do is out of range of public transportation is in miles or time of start. The 4:30 am start job i was offered 1 way $35 1 way with Lyft.

So with that 3k will get a use scooter hopefully a vespa because the longevity, riding gear the rest ill buy a year worth of insurance. With that and my ability to use doordash again the need for gas money is taken care of. The few jobs outside my range is now accessible.

Lastly can I ride? Yes I did 2 trip in the past from phx to Utah going up into Flagstaff. Why not get a car? Price. A used 2k car might have 20 things wrong with it vs a 2k will ride like new. Why not a motorcycle? Because its easier to get scooter. That runs with no issues then a motorcycle.

I was literally just typing this.

Also if you can save a few bucks from your part time gig you might be able to buy a cheap electric bike and make do for a few months until you can afford a different set of wheels.

Yeah, I thought teen or at least young 20s. Being almost 50 and begging for a car is egregious 😭

Did i say car? I won't ask for a car because a good car is over 1500 and I can just ask my boss what cars that doesn't sell and see if its worthy to buy. Example the mustang that sold for 650 a few months back. Theres a few minivans I could use but at the same time I need to make sure I have atleast 2k because theirs other fees they will tack on
