I was thinking just a few seconds ago as I keep pondering on the idea on the fact that my family has went to long not having a vehicle. You can read my blog on my mammatries page for reference. So I am sitting here and there it is craigslist at the tip of my fingers. I am looking seeing what's avaliable and there are some good used cars there. I see some of them need some work,some don't and then there are some posters who are scammers.
What should happen is that we can have craiglist heros. There are people on here who would benefit from this act of kindness. If a billionare,a millionare or whatever could do this it would end alot of mine and these peoples agony. Not having reliable transportation creates deeper poverty. There should be craiglist heros to help someone get a better start for the rest of their life. Surely someone can negotiate deals with the sellers,especially when they are doing this to help a less fortunate person. Then there should be a volunteer local law enforcer who can verify seller is not a scammer. In addition being a car insurance hero would be awesome too,not saying for long term. But for the year,6 months,3...help a family get on their feet.
I am seeing cheap used cars and trucks and vans. Hint to the wel off or those in a better position....thank God for what you have. There are people like me who actually cry because of being deprived. When you have kids and haven't taken them to the zoo,to a carnival,skating or anywher in 4 years. You'd know how heartbreaking it is. When you have no way to get to the doctors appointment,or get your kids milk and bread when you need,or one day your child is sick and needs you to come and you can't cause you don't have a car. It really hurts. For myself and others craigslist heros would be awesome.
God bless,
