Hatbox in a Pickle - Funds needed

This is not the regularly scheduled request for funds to operate BC. This is an extraordinary request for funds to help Melanie and I get back home so we can operate BC. We had an accident in my car. We are both fine, unhurt. But the car was not so lucky.

At the moment, we're stuck in the little town you end up in if you DO take a left turn at Albuquerque. The motel is nice but we want to go home. I haven't been able to get answers from the insurance as to whether they are going to cover a rental car while they decide whether to repair the car or junk it.

There are no car rental places here but a car can be rented in ABQ, if we can get there. Lyft will do it for $70 to $120 bucks, depending time of day and week. The rental car for three days comes to about $250-$300. Another night in the motel is $90. So we need about $450 to $500 to get home.

I have the money but it is that money I typically use to cover BC expenses in them middle of the month until more funds come in from advertising and contributions. I don't want to run short.

Not a hatbox member myself so I cannot follow this thread

Unfortunately I am currently being drained severely due to new roof related stuff, mortgage payment, 6 months of full coverage car insurance, PO Box fees, plus all of my other usual mundane needs all in all totalling around16K myself.

Hopefully Ms Joyce (or her proxy) has already deposited the monthly MO that I sent.

I am sorry to hear about the accident but twilight is a very tough time for visibility and that is when I am always on my highest alert.

Thanks, hon

just sent $250.

I had a major home repair last summer and am just now getting back on my feet so my ability to pay more than subscriptions was curtailed. Hope this helps

Why is this blog post members only? To see the full content of why you need money, I have to already have paid? (I'm not a subscriber so I will not see any reply to my question)

Blogs members only?

Apparently, my hand shook and I accidentally marked this blog as premium content. My fault, sorry.

Is playing silly buggers with me again, so I sent some via Patreon. I hope this doesn't mean you don't get it until the end of the month.

Thanks, hon

And no, I can almost always download money from Patreon within a few hours.
