Bear in mind that there would be issues with going to a faith-based charity. So, that is not feasible but not off the table.

It was the 211 website that told me to try family and friends first. If that is the best they can offer right off of the bat... well...

Right now, we managed to find a decent enough car for very cheap. In fact, the car company does not exist anymore. (Pontiac... never thought I would see the day.) Fortunately, it is the same platform as a Toyota and so there may still be parts for it. It only has two little quirks. One, the damned rain sensor.The wipers just randomly come on. I cannot find a way to turn it off. Two, the radio display is dead. It works just fine, but you have to listen for radio call signs to figure out where you are on the dial. I sincerely hope that a setting does not change. I would be screwed.

It was due to everyone here being so very nice and helping us out that allowed my honey to get to work and back until we found that car. I cannot thank everyone enough for that. I am unable to handle it when he has that look on his face. Like a defeated old general watching his last troops fall on the battlefield and realizing that it is all over. He is turning gray faster these days. It is not solely from age.
