Help Naomi/Bilge get mobile for her new job

Aim

Naomi/Bilge's car has had to be scrapped (badly failed MOT). With a new job that needs transport she needs help now to get mobile for it

Some of you know her as Bilge, some Naomi, but to all of us she's a good friend. As you'll know she's been through some really tough times these last few years. There was cancer and chemo and mental health problems and more recently some family related stuff that I won't go into here. On top of all that she lost her job which she loved and is really struggling financially on benefits. A year ago her car was written off and the replacement she bought in good faith was literally scrapped last week after failing it's MOT (too costly to repair – in the thousands). The brighter news is that she starts her new job tomorrow! The first 3 weeks are luckily training from home but after that she is scuppered as will need to commute 5 days a week and public transport here in Wiltshire is really not a viable option because she's going to be doing shifts to fit in with Verity and so some really early starts and late finishing whilst V is at her dad's. We need to get our friend mobile. She needs a reliable safe car but, with having been out of work, is unable to get a loan right now. So, I convinced her that, despite everyone struggling right now, there are plenty of us around to chip in a little each to help her – anything you can give would be very gratefully received.  Here’s to a new (and mobile) start!
