Help Nat Learn To Drive

My name is Nat. I’m 22 years old, a student, and an activist in North Carolina. 

In the last year alone I’ve been: 

* at risk for homelessness
* unable to access food and medication
* going through dangerous and risky withdrawal for my medications
* unable to see my doctors
* unable to contact or see my mother

I’m currently unemployed and desperately trying to find work. However, due to my disability, I’m limited on what I can do or where I can apply. I don’t know how to drive and the closest bus stop is an hour’s walk away, which is difficult for me to access. I have on friends when they are able and they often aren’t.

How can you help? I’m trying to raise at least $400 to afford driving lessons before my learner’s permit expires this July.  My mother managed to get me a used car but since she doesn’t know how to drive, she cannot teach me. She also cannot help me with any monetary expenses over $50 since her husband is currently hospitalized. 

If I could drive I could:
~look for (and hopefully find) employment further from my home
~not have to walk an hour from the closest grocery store or the food bank
~be able to visit my doctor
~engage in more local activism
~visit my mom
~and not have to inconvenience others for transportation.

Please if you can, donate a few dollars here or at my paypal ([email redacted]) or share if you are able.

Thank you so much!
