Tina Goewey hasn't added a story.
Hi, my name is Tina, and I started this campaign praying that God will provide a way. A little about me, last year I got very ill and almost died. I was put in the hospital for a year, and no one knew what was happening to me. All my organs were shutting down and I could not use my legs at all. I finally started to walk a little and with no conclusion the hospital released me home. I had to go to the store because I had nothing, and I thought I would be ok to drive my car. Before I knew it I was in the middle of a corn field with my windshield in my lap. My brain just stopped, and I went into a complete blackout. I don't know what happened that day and I don't think I will ever know but I have been trying to deal with the consequences ever since. My legs don't work and not having a car keeps me so restricted to my home. I haven't seen my family in almost 2 years. I miss them so much, but they live too far away to come and pick me up to visit. Just getting to the doctor is a nightmare. I live on a very low fixed income and going back to work isn't an option for me right now. I am trying to find work from home jobs because I really want to work. I don't ask for help but now is the time where I have to swallow my pride and ask for your help. I am not looking to buy a brand-new car or anything fancy, I just need a car to get me from A to B and maybe to C every once in a while. Seeing my family would be a blessing. I know it is Christmas time and people are struggling, so really, I am not asking you to empty your wallets. I just really need some help to get a car that will get me around. There is no Uber or Lyft in my area, we don't even have a taxi. If I want a pizza, I have to walk to go and get it, so you know I haven't had a pizza in a long time. The struggle is real, and I never realized how difficult my life would become without a car. So, I am asking you to please open your hearts to understanding my unique situation and help me to purchase a car. I saw on Facebook today that someone got a brand-new car because she was walking back and forth to work, if only I could, my legs don't work like that. I can't walk out my front door without worrying if my legs are going to give out from underneath me. I have to go to the doctor's office more times than I care to say and most of the time I have to cancel because I just can't walk that far, and I can't find anyone to bring me. I don't have anyone in my life that I can ask, or I can depend on. I am actually a very lonely person. Another reason I need a car so bad, so I can get out of my home and do things like swimming at the center and going to the grocery store and finally going to visit my little niece and nephew that I miss so much. I don't know if you have ever been in this situation, but I must tell you it is horrible. I feel like a prisoner in my own home and starring at the TV around the clock isn't healthy for me, it's actually really sad. Anything you can do, will help. Thank you so much for reading my story and I hope that you can help me in any way.
