Urgent Car Fund for the Neff Family

Hello! As most of you know, our one and only car was stolen and totalled in downtown Wilmington 2 months ago. Since that happened, we had made arrangements with a family member to be gifted a vehicle. Well, wouldn't you know it, the day before the car was to be picked up, it had been taken to be cleaned and ended up in an accident that totalled the "new to us" car. We hadn't even seen it yet. Still don't even know what color it was.

I say all of this to say, we are in a bind here. We have a family of 4, one of which splits their time between Wilmington and Sylva (thats about a 7 hour drive). We have to have a new car before the school year starts. WE HAVE TO. We can't even uphold our legal custody obligations without one.

We are working our butt's off at our jobs, we're donating plasma, even planning a yard sale to raise enough money to get into a car. Our credit is not great and the dealership that is willing to work with us says we need half of the total cost of the vehicle. I have to have a vehicle that can handle being driven over 40,000 miles per year (yes, per year). That being said, we are looking at vehicles in the $7,000-$9,000 range, meaning we need $3,500-$4,500 to get into a car. We are literally begging for help at this point, anything helps get us closer to our goal!

Please help if you can. And either way, please share this. We are in desperate need of help at this point.
