Cardboard Lady

Hi, my name is Alice and I am fundraising for Vanja also known as Yvone.

I have known Vanja for over 5 years. Many of you also know her as "Cardboard Lady". She lives in her car and sells cardboards. Last year, about this time, I posted this Fundraising appeal. Things are pretty much the same for Vanja. The car is one year older and has several issues. She has learned a lot about her car and fixes many things herself; however, for the major issues, she has to rely on some kind mechanics to help her. The yearly registration/insurance is due in December and the cardboard business doesn't bring enough money for her to pay for big expenses. High cost of gas also makes driving and heating her car quite expensive. Her health has improved somewhat, but still needs to buy OTC medicine. Again, she is asking for assistance to be able to survive the next 4-5 months of cold(er) weather and pay for some of this larger expenses. If we can raise $650 that will carry her through these Winter months.

You have been very generous and helpful in the past and I am counting on you to help Vanjia to survive the next three months. If you chose to help, please DO NOT pay the TIP for GoFundMe. They automatically Mark (X) the 15% box for tip, make sure to unmark it and select 0 for tipping. The commission GoFundMe will take is about 3%, last year I ended up paying $20-25 commission for $608 raised.
