Last week as I was heading from my home to a speaking engagement when the transmission in our van malfunctioned. I had the vehicle towed to our mechanic in Alton, NH. The van is a 2019 Chrysler Grand Caravan with over 178,000 miles. The mechanic gave us an estimate of between $5,500 to $6,000 to rebuild the transmission, but he recommended that due to the age and mileage of the vehicle, we not spent the money for a repair.
We decided to take his advice and will replace the vehicle. Thankfully, Roberta Stewart, a member of our board of directors, has generously allowed us the use of her truck until she returns to New Hampshire in May. We estimate that the cost to find a suitable replacement will be $30,000+. We have already received a pledge of $1,000.
We are asking our friends and supporters for donations to help cover the cost of a replacement van. Those who are able to help may donation via our PayPal accounted accessed from our website’s homepage: https://campconstitution.net/ or via check payable to Camp Constitution
Those who own a business or manage non-profits can become official Camp Constitution sponsors and be listed as a Camp Sponsor for donations of $100. or more: Camp Sponsors | campconstitution.net
