The Goddess being Ms Nakachi.

See, she read some stuff I wrote, and I read some stuff she wrote, and we found out that we really dig each other. So when she read some other stuff I wrote, she was like, damn, that's pretty hard, I wish I could help this mama. And Ms Nakachi took it upon herself to do some fundraising.

She let folx know what was going on, and asked if anyone could do, please do, and I had no idea until I started getting emails from all these people who'd put money in our Paypal account. It's freekin amazing.

We got over six hundred dollars. I still don't believe that. I'd saved $200 already, and when I got my disability check I went & got me a car. Today.

(go ahead, stand up and cheer. I've been doing it every 15 minutes or so!)

It's not just a car, y'all. It's a van. Yep, a real mamamobile. It's a Plymouth Voyager, 1990, the door handle is broken and the electric windows ain't workin, a switch or something's messed up. My neighbor, dude that sold it to me, is putting the handle back on & he'll see if he can get the windows working tonight. Otherwise he'll do it tomorrow morning. The engine & tranny are good, the belts & timing & stuff is good, the outside trim's all peeling, it's beautiful.

I couldn't have done it without Nakachi's big ass heart, y'all. You have no idea how much love I got for her.

Thank you e'erybody, all of y'all.

Oh, and an especially huge thank you to Georgia for sending Jayden a whole slew o' Rescue Heroes. That was beyond awesome.
