Help Sonja get to work

My friend Sonja, who is one of the most resilient and optimistic women I know, is a sortation worker at an Amazon warehouse in Lawrenceville, Georgia. She lives in Atlanta, so she uses her car to get to work, and particularly needs it at this time in order to  stay safe and healthy. Unfortunately due to a mechanic's error (he tried his best and we won't blame him), her engine blew and she's been depleting her credit cards to try to pay for a new one, but she is still $1500 short. 

In better times, I would not be reaching out on her behalf, as I would lend (or even give) her this money. But, like many of us, I am not in that situation today and find myself cancelling credit card and mortgage payments and living with a friend while this crisis passes. We are all in the same boat right now, some of us coping a little better than others, but all of us here for each other. 

So I am reaching out to ask if you can please pitch in to get Sonja the $1500 she needs to get her car up and running again. She has been renting a car, depleting her funds even more. And it breaks my heart that while working her ass off to get us what we need, she's losing money and struggling to make ends meet. 

She hasn't complained once about any of it. In fact, she's inspiringly resilient, and when I try to dig up dirt on her situation (y'all know how much I love getting to the bottom of things) she simply tells me:

"I'm happy to know I'm helping people by getting them the stuff that they need to get through this. That's one good thing about it."

Guys, we can do this! I'll make the first donation and then please give what you can and let's get Sonja back on the road and in her own car within a week. 

Lots of love to you all. Stay safe and healthy. 

Thank you
