I've had open heart surgery and I'm disabled vet. I am using a wheelchair often now because of my muscular dystrophy and I really need my car in order to go back and forth to the doctors and pharmacy and everything.
I had the car looked at and they said it was dangerous to drive because the tires were apparently cracking apart on the inside where you're unable to see it at and I managed to get the tires paid for and replaced and the belts but they are recommending a few other repairs that I just can't come up with the money for and without my truck I can't get my medications and my life will be in danger if I can't get back and forth to my cardiologist office in Alabama from Florida. I need my truck for that and to get my medications and I really need them especially my blood thinning medication because I have a mechanical On-X Prosthetic heart valve in my heart and it requires the blood thinners so I don't get a blood clot and die or have a stroke.
I'm also on a lot of blood pressure medications because of heart failure and I'm really at a loss as to where to get some help and a social worker that I talked to recommended that I get ahold of you to see about getting a grant for veterans or help or something so I can get the car taken care of because there's no public transportation that would or could even take me to the doctors. Anyway because it's a 5 hour ride from Reddick Florida to Auburn Alabama then back and I am really hoping that you might be able to help me or steer me in the right direction to get the truck fixed?
I'm also hard of hearing and I'm unable to use the phone to make calls which is why I'm emailing you instead of calling. I hope you might be able to help me because my doctor is saying that I have to come in for a visit before they will call any more medications in to the pharmacy. Could you please reply by email? Thank you and have a great week! By the way the car only needs the brake pads done and the collapsed engine mounts and I have a quote for them already.
