Good news. Because of your gifts ($179 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

What exactly is the $1,150 for?
It's all in the list in the story. labor charges is the big one at $125, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Hang in there, Maverick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Maverick?
Thank you. If you're in Winston-Salem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Sending strength, Maverick. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
