I'm 59 years old, and I've spent years helping others in my community. But right now, I need help too.

My car is no longer dependable, and people are counting on me. I drive a cancer patient to his medical appointments. I transport a single mother with five children to food pantries because she doesn't have a job. I help others get their groceries. These aren't small tasks, and these aren't people I can turn away.

Without a reliable vehicle, I can't do any of this. Every time I get behind the wheel, I'm worried it won't start or that something will break down when someone needs me most. I can't take that risk with a cancer patient in the car. I can't leave a mother and her five kids stranded. I can't abandon the neighbors who depend on me for groceries.

I need $8,000 for a dependable car so I can keep showing up for the people in North Platte who need me. This isn't just about me. It's about making sure a cancer patient gets to life-saving appointments. It's about feeding five children. It's about being the reliable person my community knows I am.

I've always been there for others. Please help me stay there for them.
