At a stalemate

Dear Family, friends and fellow clergy, Our fund raising drive to replace our dangerous to drive mission vehicle has stalled of late at just slightly above 50% of our goal to raise enough funds to allow us to lease a vehicle with affordable payments we know we will be able to make over the 3 year term of the lease. We feel that leasing will be the best method for us since it covers any and all mechanical work that might have to be done without any expense to us, but if we buy a used vehicle we would have to pay for any mechanical repairs that might happen, and most times, over a 3 year period, there are mechanical problems that happen to used vehicles. The best used vehicle we could buy with the funds available has over 100,000 miles already on it. We did the math, and if we can raise the $5500 needed to lease a vehicle for payments of $98 a month, all we would need to worry about is the monthly payment and Gas, oil and insurance payments for the 3 years. If you feel that this ministry is doing the work of God in its service to hospices, nursing homes, shut-ins and those often marginalized because of age, illness, or sexual orientation, I beg of you, in God's name, to make a donation to our fund drive and ask your family and friends to do so as well. this is how you can make a donation, use this fund raising link or send your donation to our bank. https://www.youcaring.com/nonprofits/deposit-for-mission-vehicle/180847 OR by sending a check or money order directly to our Ministry bank and notating on it that is for the "Vehicle Fund Drive".
