Being blunt, I need your prayers.

In mid January, I had to pay over $700 to get some work done on my car. I also had to pay over $500 to get the shark fin (antenna) fixed. Yes, my special needs trust paid for the expenses but it was still my money coming from the trust.

I thought I was done with those kind of repairs. I was wrong. Over the weekend, the check engine light came on again. I carried it somewhere today to get it diagnosed. It was the worst case scenario.

The turbo boost in my 2020 GMC Terrain is failing. It's going to be at least $2,300 to get repaired. It also makes the idea of trading it in null until it is repaired. I had to rent a car to get home & get to Cochran tonight.

I am talking to the trustee of my special needs trust. But I'm honestly scared. The HR account wasn't in great shape but it's in bad shape now. The car's become a money pit but one I can't think about getting out of until the engine is fixed.

Please pray for me. Please pray that something can be figured out and I can get a vehicle that can fulfill the needs of a handicapped reporter.

Thanks for reading.
