Dear friends and family, Could you help us find a good used 4x4? They're extraordinarily expensive in Costa Rica, and even by working multiple good jobs, we can't make it happen alone. The following link is a video from last year, when a tree fell on my 98 Toyota RAV4, highlighting my ongoing vehicle struggles since moving to Nosara. Nearly all of my income went towards monthly car repairs and tuk-tuks. Thanks to my parents' help and working four or five jobs at a time, I got a Suzuki SX4, but it’s now been declared totaled despite putting all our income into fixing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=k5jA5gX0AO8&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gofundme.com%2F While my challenges are minor compared to Jose's journey to success, I understand scarcity and have roughed it my entire adult life while managing to appear successful on the outside. For much of my time here, I didn’t even have a refrigerator, and just last week, I fell into a ditch and couldn’t afford a doctor. It turns out, campesino-style medicine really is incredible. We couldn't afford our last home, so we loaded our belongings into the broken SX4 and pushed it from one house to the next before a pickup truck helped us. All the while, we're both working multiple jobs that barely cover our expenses, and we live humbly. We currently have no funds for a reliable vehicle or even tuk-tuks, which cost $20 for a trip to work and back, and $200 a week for the kind of moving around we need. I dream of repairing my computer and guitar, ruined by a hurricane, and replacing the gear that was lost, so I can be more efficient in my business and focus more on making music, but all my funds run dry before I get the chance. We love sharing the beauty and culture of Guanacaste with you, Spanish lessons and integration experiences, and dream of dedicating more time to music and art and though we seem energetic and Pura Vida from the outside, we’re running on empty. We've got loads of positivity and plans to start thriving, but there's no way around needing wheels to make things happen and grow our business so we can finally be financially stable. Thank you!

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.
Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.
