Story and Strength with Shonda Sinclair - 260608

from The Old Man’s Podcast · host jmaerklaw

This is another episode of Shonda's Podcast, "Story & Strength". The purpose is to draw Inspiration from the stories of artists, authors, creators and just down to Earth interesting people. Here is my Story and Strength segment about the couple raising funds for a new bus.  A Journey of a Spirit’s Mechanic is a donation-based, voluntary roadside assistance program run by Melissa Brant (Mouse), and her partner, “Martian” that has helped stranded motorists from coast-to-coast in the United States for over 8 years.    Now, they are the ones stranded and in need of assistance. Their current vehicle, a 2009 Freightliner Thomas bus named Marvin broke down after months of continuous repairs and finally failed completely while traveling, leaving them stranded at a truck stop in New Mexico.    In order to replace their home on wheels and continue their mission, they need approximately $12,500 for a new rig that is in better condition than other options they've considered. They are currently at $4,500.00 in donations received.    We are helping them get the word out about their mission and their current need. If just 200 people would each give $50.00 toward their cause, they could purchase that rig with a small cushion of funds to cover food and gas as they get going again. If you can't give funds, please help share the story and the ask far amd wide so we can find those 200 or more people who can make this goal a reality.    The ways you can give are as follows:   gofund.me/f608e372c Cashapp $aspiritsmechanic  Venmo @aspiritsmechanic19  Zelle Paypal [email protected] You can follow their journey on Facebook at:   https://www.facebook.com/aspiritsmechanic   Thank you for listening!   *Checkout and Follow the Writings of Shonda Sinclair here: Roaming the Road (of Life):https://www.shondasinclair.com/   *Visit our webpage where you can catch up on Current / Past Episodes: www.theoldmanspodcast.com     *Contact us at: [email protected]
