Yall, i can't anymore. The brakes went out in my truck a week ago, while i was driving downhill towards a stop sign at an intersection. If a car has been coming at that moment I wouldn't be here right now. Thank God I've had the brakes go out before and knew how to slow it down and get it to stop before I hit the house in front of the intersection. But being down the truck memes only being able to get one or two bags of feed at a time, number one because our daily driver car isn't big enough to haul our normal quantity and number two we have two bad tires in the back that can't hold the weight of more than a few bags of feed. We live about 30 minutes from town which means that is extra gas and wear and tear in the car and time that we just don't have going back and forth several times a week to ensure everyone eats. That's already hurting us badly.
But that crappy little daily driver that we have? The one that I'm still making extremely high monthly payments on because my credit is so sh*tty from trying to keep everyone fed, happy, and comfortable on the weeks that sanctuary needs exceed income and donations? We also rely on that car for our secondary income that not only keeps the animals fed, it keeps their children fed house and clothed as well. Since my truck has been down it has been my only source of getting to and from work 6 days a week. And tonight, someone decided slam into that car and total it while my husband was driving home from dropping me off at work.
Thank GOD Nick is OK, because if hed been injured in any way shape or form I'd already be booked. But saying that we are Beyond SCREWED right now isn't even a fraction of it. Even if insurance pays out it's only going to cover what I already owe on it, and I don't have the credit to finance another vehicle. I don't even have the money to fix my truck right now let alone buy another car or pay for a rental. We don't have a way to get me to and from work we don't have a way for us to work our secondary jobs, we don't have a way to get human or animal groceries or pick up animal feed or do anything else that we need. I don't even know what to do anymore. At this point we need nothing short of a miracle, but I don't think God really feels like doing this any favors lately. We need prayers, we need a ways to figure out feed and hay and grocery delivery, we need a way to keep me from losing my primary job or my secondary job, and with my husband having a disease that could result in anaphylaxis shock in a very short period of time we don't have a way to get him to help and the ambulance takes too long to get here.
I'm open to any suggestions because you hitch just keep coming and I don't know what to do anymore.
