Financial Hardship Help
Last Updated:
I got in a car accident a couple days ago, and the other person didn’t have insurance. So they did not cover the costs to fix the car, and really need anything to get the car fixed or a bus pass to go back to work and get some money to feed my kids. Any little bit will help, I appreciate anything.

Needing $2,000 to get a decent vehicle (a Beater with a Heater) that will last me through the winter.
My old 1999 pontiac with 286,531 miles blew its engine and wasn’t worth repairing because it had a lot of other things needing repaired.
I’m looking for a decent minivan or SUV for around $2500 to $3,000 that will get me from point A to B in relative safety and comfort until spring when I can start earning money again.
Right now I have no income and was relying on what little savings I had from last year to make it through the winter but my vehicle dying has put me in a financial crisis.
Thank you for your generosity!

Great timing with the winter weather coming around right?? Ha. I’ve been doing food delivery for a little over a year now and it’s time to get new tires but I have been working with roughly $300 a week as my income and a variety of car repairs on top of the car payment and insurance. The front set of rotors and brakes cost me roughly $450 earlier this month Half of this had to go on my credit card which is now maxed out. My front right tire blew out on me a couple of months ago or so and I had to get that replaced but at least it’s safer now!
Mr. Tire in La Plata quoted me $1,050 for all four so my thoughts are that I need the help to raise that amount. I’ve been applying to jobs, donating plasma on a fairly basis, and opened an artist account on Redbubble. I’ve been trying, believe me. I really want to rise up out of this terrible rut and stand tall and proud on my own two feet.
Thank you for your help! I hope you’re staying warm.

On Thanksgiving day, while driving home from dinner woth my family. I unexpectedly hit standing water when taking an exit. The drains in the area were clogged due to a recent storm. I hydroplaned as soon as I hit the water and slid into a tree. Im currently a college student going to school through the GI bill. I served in the U.S. Navy for 4 years. Currently aside from the GI bill I have no form of income and no means to purchase another vehicle which is desperately needed to get me to and from class.

I just got my car from a shop, and they told me that I needed to replace my engine. I owe 4K on the car still, and due to my previous boyfriend, I have 7,000 in credit card debt with a terrible credit score. Only living two miles from work, I’ve been walking despite the weather. I’m asking for help, because it’s getting colder. I’ve asked coworkers, but none have been serious about carpooling. I love two hours from my parents. They can’t travel to me due to health issues, and I’d like to be able to visit them for the holidays. Anything will help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I am a 22 year old girl living alone abroad trying to make ends meet. I have made it so far on my own, but today I am here asking for anything people can spare towards my situation.
I have exhausted my options, and I am here asking for your help.
I thought I was on the right path of getting my life together this year: I have been renting a room as a lodger, saved up and bought my first ( 14 year old) car while waiting to pass my driving test which is now due in January.
After my rent, learner driver insurance and bills I am left with less than £70 to buy food and commute to work for the month. Then the corona crisis hit, and furlough has been barely enough for me to pay my rent and expenses. I am stuck in this circle that I cannot get out of on my own – I need a better job to afford basic living conditions and getting out of my lodger accommodation, so for that I need to be able to drive. But to drive I need to be able to afford lessons, and I need to be able to repair my car and get it ready for its annual MOT due this month. I would be forever grateful for anything you could spare to help me put money towards my rent and car fund. I never thought I would find myself in this predicament, as I always worked hard and living from one pay check to another but somehow making the most of it.
My car’s MOT is due this month, and with its age, the engine and battery lights on I haven’t got much hope for passing. I don’t want to think of an estimate bill, and with my £70 monthly food budget…paying it off is a dream that I can only hope to achieve.
I will not forget any act of kindness, and when times get better I will likewise share the support to someone in need. Thank you for taking your time to read my story.

Hi, I am a college student who is financially independent. I live pay check to pay check from my full time job as a CNA. I can afford rent, and I have paid for my next semester of college. Unfortunately, due to this, I have no money left over for emergencies. As a result, this morning I was left in a hard spot when my car suddenly stopped working. When a mechanic looked at it, he determined the engine was completely done, and it was worth more to scrap it than to pay to fix the many issues wrong with the car. So, I am currently in search of some donations in order to pay for another car/a down payment for a car. Absolutely anything is appreciated. I am a hard worker, and I work 60 hours a week, but I am not sure how I will be able to continue to do this without a vehicle. The image attached is the car that I used to have, it was a Mazda Protege 1999. Unfortunately, because everything happened so quick this morning, I didn’t think to take a picture of the tow truck or anything.

Hey!
I got unexpected costs after I had my car repaired twice. The first time the car was repaired before inspection,
it cost 4600SEK / 534$. The car did not go through
so I had to drive to the workshop again.
And this time it cost 2900SEK / 337$. So in total 871$.
I converted from Swedish krona to dollars to make it easier to see.
It’s really awful how much working costs the take comparing to the
costs of the spare parts. I had to take a loan from my father to
pay the first bill just so that I wouldn’t get the extra interest
if it would go overdue the 30 day mark they wanted me to pay.
So I still need to repay my father all that money too.
The second bill I have to pay before end of November
or they will put on interest on that one too.
I am on sick leave so I do not get much money per month that I can
keep it up to make it go around with such expenses. Getting a job in my seat is not the easiest thing either, as I have been diagnosed with autism and agoraphobia and I’m currently
struggling to get full sick leave. Autism for me means that I do not have the
energy that other people have. You could say that my energy is like a
drained battery that lose charging all the time and its easy for me
to crash from exhaustion if it gets too much.
Having these bills on my mind everyday gives me so much anxiety.
I can’t sell my car either because I need it to get around
important places instead of traveling on buses or other transports
which gives me anxiety also from agoraphobia.
I have never asked for money online before. I don't really like to
be one to beg for money but I feel a little desperate at this point
because there's not much else I can do now.
So if there is any kind soul out there who is willing to help me out and
get rid of the debt on the car, I would be eternally grateful.
Everything helps so feel free and donate what you can spare. Link is below.
If you can donate 871$ which is the total cost for all the repairs
would be really great.
Thank you very much for reading to the end. It means the world to me.

As I come to the end of my wits and blindly search the internet to see if anything like this is even possible, I stumble across this site. Maybe my prayers can be answered?
Like many this past year, I have lost any and all work contracts I had due to the global pandemic. To make things more difficult, I work in the arts and culture industry which is a very social and public reliant line of work, which many figure will be the last to be revived after the pandemic. I’ve always been a self employed artist living gig to gig and check to check. When I’m not working I am volunteering with local arts organizations, giving back to the community.
Even the effort to find supplementary work at this time is difficult as I will do catering on the side, but with the current restrictions in place of gatherings of no more than 15 allowed, there is no catering work to be had.
The only feesable work available for me at this time is Instacart grocery delivery service, Skip the Dishes, DoorDash type jobs that require a vehicle.
I was all signed up and ready for Instacart when my car decided to die. After spending what little ‘extra’ I had on diagnostics, the mechanic tells me I need an ABS Module replacement and a few other ‘smaller’ things. (Is anything really small on a car?)
I CANT afford to start over and get a ‘new used car’ so my only choice is to try and make this work. TRUST ME I would not be here asking for help if I had any other options.
If I want to be able to work at all at this time I need a functioning car.
The mechanic is quoting $1300 (cdn) for the ABS part/replacement.
The additional and eventually necessary repairs total about $2500 (cdn)
I have no idea what to expect from this or if anyone will even see it, but if you do and you like dance, music, art and anything that makes the world more beautiful, then this dance/arts facilitator would be more the grateful for your assistance.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your consideration and hopefully, your generous donations. Any and all help.
Thank you and take care, stay healthy.

Hi, so I was recently involved in an car accident last week. Someone was backing out of their driveway and came out just a tad too far. The other diver didn’t have insurance and in this time of Covid and reduced work hours I had to cancel my car insurance to continue to afford my more important bills. I know insurance is important, but I couldn’t afford it on my reduced pay, which is also too much to qualify for EDD, so no help there. I currently have half of the money needed and need another 1500$ to cover the expenses. Any amount that anyone is able to give is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance. Well wishes to all and stay safe out there.

I’m actually shocked I’m writing on here. As many other people in having a rough go of it as of late. And unfortunately my car crapped out on me recently. I need a new alternator and rear brakes (for inspection) I was trying to put it off when I was a little bit more financially stable. But with the alternator gone, I have to take Uber in to work which is almost an hour away and about 3 using public transportation. It’s eating a chunk of what I’ve been trying to save up and with bills pilling up it’s making it even harder.
I was told it be about 2 grand to get everything fixed give or take a one or two hundred. I’m just requesting 2500. I never thought I would do this sincerely but I’m at my wit’s end. I don’t really know what to do, I feel trapped and screwed. I really don’t expect anything, as I’m sure they’re are more deserving people who need this, but I’m just throwing the hail Mary. If you read this, thanks for considering whether you choose to help or not. I hope everyone is safe and staying healthy during this trying time. Thanks again.

Hello, my name is Luke Ryan. I am in my mid-20s, and here’s a little about my situation:
I have picked all the wrong choices when it came to going down a career path and I honestly think that it’s for the better. Simply put, I am not the type of person that is meant for a nine to five. However, my current finacial situation tells me otherwise, and so, I have stuck with temporary work to come up with some cash. It’s all great and all, but now with the engine of my ’09 Subaru Forester has completely gave out, it has forced me to look for a new car.
I’m thinking about from the range of $2k to $4k for a new car. I was thinking about keeping the car and just installing a new engine, but most of the parts are already completely rusted and not really kept in great shape from the previous owners that it just seems more beneficial to scrap the car at a junkyard and use the money towards a new car and/or monthly bills. I am looking at a stay at home job, which I will talk about in the next paragraph. But I do want to bring up that I had a DUI back in 2015 and hadn’t had a car again until 2019. During the timeframe I was jumping from location to location and had to completely rely on walking, biking, and/or bus transit as my forms of transportation. When the summer of 2019 came around, I had some money to spend on a car. However, part of the DUI conviction was that I had to have an interlock in my car for the timespan of two years. And I had to have my parents help me out because the cost of having an interlock is absolutely absurd! I NEED to have a car in order for me to complete my interlock program that I am enrolled in and for me to go back to temp work. Now, I said in the previous paragraph that I wasn’t meant for a nine to five? Well hear me out.
I am looking into starting video game streaming through the streaming service, Twitch. It’s a highly competitive field for new fish that are trying to kick start their careers in the social media world. You have your entire spectrum of streamers, video game professionals, content creators, and personalities. It’s a highly competitive field, but I feel as though that I have a brand that I’m able to push to be apart of the wave. Being a streamer and/or content creator has been something that I’ve been passionate for for sometime since I was younger. It’s something that had inspired me to keep working a nine to five, so that I was able to save up some money to invest in.
I’ll keep this short. The problem is, is now with my car completely busted. I am forced to back peddle and have to fork out for a new car while still making payments. Meaning that I do in fact need the money for a new used car. But also, I want to try and get a good start on a career path that I’ve wanted for such an incredible amount of time, and so that I don’t have to go back to working a nine to five.
I am looking at $2 to $4k for a car replacement. And for help on starting my new business, I am looking at between $1k to $10k. It would be much appreciated!

Hi, my name is Anishia and I’m a first time mother. I have a 11 month old beautiful daughter who I love dearly and would do anything in this world for. Her birthday is next month and just when you think you have everything in order, something happens and you’re hit in the face with no warning. I was recently in a accident, yes we are ok my daughter wasn’t in the car with me, thank God but unfortunately my car is out of commission right now. It’s not totaled, but does need a lot of work done. Before you ask, yes I have insurance so it will cover it but of course like every insurance theirs a deductible. I do work, but as a single mother whose daughters first birthday is right around the corner and my bills of course, it’s hard for me to even give them the deductible let alone try to get back and forth to work. I’m not the type of person to go around asking for money, it hurts my pride, but at this point I’m desperate. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and God bless. https://paypal.me/anishia88

Hey everyone, my Name is Tommy Lee and am asking for help to get to my goal of 2000$ To help for a new car. Last year I was really struggling after my wreck, but still needed a job for my family and I . I did what I could, and worked just as hard. I decided to try and Uber to work and back (ALMOST 50$ A DAY!) I know, probably not the best idea.. This year put me in the same loop as the year before, with the Virus hitting.. and I’m here asking for as much help as I can get. My credit is in the low 510’s and cannot get a loan for a new car. But I’m not gonna give just yet! here’s the PayPal as well. Even receiving emails with kind words would help!
https://paypal.me/ThomasMartinis
If anyone can help me reset this year we’ve had it would mean the world to me..
-With love and hope, Tommy
