Hello, my name’s Kassandra and I’m a struggling, working 20 year old who would like to go back to school to become a phlebotomists/medical assistant.  In order for this to happen, I need transportation. Right now my situation isn’t as easy because the current car I drive…  it’s missing the wheel from the driver side. This happened when I was driving on the freeway and when I was getting off on my exit for work. I felt my car shaking so,  I obviously started to slow down and once I did, the wheel literally popped off. I was looking into it and it looked like it had been tampered with. I’m honestly not the type of person to have enemies. I’m actually very nice, very sweet and I wear my heart on my sleeve. I come from a very humble family and I know my rights from wrongs. My parents raised me correctly and taught me that even if we don’t have much to provide to always give what we have. To not be selfish, to love your fellow people. I don’t say this to sound arrogant or pretentious or anything, but it just sucks and it makes it hard for myself to believe that someone  would do this to me. My insurance won’t cover the damages on the car. Therefore, the total is $5,800 because the Lug-nuts were missing, and when I started slowing down the whole left side where the wheel is placed, was completely destroyed(I’ll provide an image) and there was something else wrong with it that I can’t quite recall at the moment but my parents and I don’t have the money to fix it. I start my course within a week, and i honestly  don’t want to spend my money on taxis, Uber’s, Lyft’s, or on busses when that money could be used towards the repairment of the vehicle. It would honestly mean the world to my parents and I, if we could get help from you and truly would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time doing something like this and how the saying goes, “desperate times calls for desperate measures” thank you for taking your time in reading my case and Please help us out.

I don’t usually do things like this, but desperate times. So I have been having issues with my own car where it wasn’t starting. I thought it was the battery, bought a new one to find out if that was the issue and it was not. A friend who works on cars told me it could be our alternator, so with the last of the money I had I purchased it. Had my friend install it which took hours just to find out that again wasn’t the issue. Yes I should have taken it to a mechanic to get it checked but at this point I didn’t have the money to do so. After realizing this I was told it could be our starter. And I now don’t have the money to purchase a starter as I don’t get paid any time soon. Now let me get to the part where I got in an accident. So since I don’t have my car at the moment I asked my mom if I could borrow hers to be able to go purchase the alternator we needed to replace. On the way to pick up my boyfriend so he could help I got in an accident in my moms car. I was on a single lane road passing by an elementary school and the car in front of me decided to stop for a woman to cross the road, not at a crosswalk, in the middle of the road so I did not have time to break as he shouldn’t have stopped in the middle of the road for this woman to illegally cross. So now I am obviously going to have to pay for the damages to my moms car because my fault or not I still have to pay for it and also my own car. I don’t have any other means of getting rides to work or my boyfriend either. I have to come up with $1,100 in a matter of days and I don’t have the a credit good enough to get a loan and I haven’t been working at the job I have for long. I have tried everything I can so far but I don’t know what else to do. I hope you can take this into consideration I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

“Ouch”.  I took a hard hit from an Unlicenced Driver. . . Luckily, Thank God no one was injured . Here’s my story; I’m a single/divorced female , in my late 30’s, hard working independent average person.  I’ve always taken pride in paying my own way , and making ends meet every month. I pay rent, and own my truck that I absolutely Love it’s my dream truck that I finally own. Tragically, my world changed in an instant on a rainy Tuesday morning.  The rain was coming down in buckets and my wipers were on full speed.  2 parked cars were blocking visibility at my stop sign.  Inching up to see at that moment a black speeding vehicle from my right side, ripped the front end of my truck off and dragged my bumper down the street with.  . $8000. Damage , but the  part I wasn’t prepared for was the rental I was driving costing nearly $3000.00. Insurance only payed me for 1/2 of the 8k.   Now I’m in a hole paying off this Unexpected event that happened in a split second.  If anyone out there can understand the hardship this has caused me . . I could really use some help to get back on my feet . . Please . . I feel like I’m putting a kid threw medical school with these bills . . Lol but I’m not even a parent . . Thank you for hearing my story .

I need $10,030 to get my car out of the shop and to cover the rental.

A few months ago things were turned upside down for me, I fell behind on every account that I had, severely behind. Almost a year ago I lived in GA and we had a family business and I drove Uber as well. I maintained my bills, but I had so much debt. I never made more money that I had debt, so I used my credit cards to pay for my debit which got me deeper in dept. It’s a never ending cycle. Business was super slow, we had to get rid of the shop (family business) I then did Uber full time, but some days I barely made anything. Bills were piling up and frequent calls from creditors were too! I ended up moving back to NY and worked at my old job, extremely thankful for a steady income. “Now it’s time to catch up on these past due accounts, is what I told myself” By this time accounts were beginning to close. Car was repossessed, I got it back. Car insurance lapsed, small personal loans past due. Everything went to shits!! I paid what I could, but my biweekly check wasn’t covering everything at once.

Fast forward one morning after dropping my son to school, I was in a car accident and my vehicle was damaged in the front on the left side. The estimated damages was more than what the other party’s policy paid out because they had a limit on there insurance policy. I could’ve went through my insurance, but it was active at the time of the accident. So I had no choice, but to settle for the payout with the other parties insurance. By then I was receiving letters that legal actions would be taken against me and my full balance was now due. This was a nightmare. I acted off of emotion and paid my past due accounts with the money that was sent to me for my car to be repaired.  I thought it would quiet the storm for a bit, not even thinking that I have to get my car out of the shop and pay for the rental that I was driving. Now I’m in a bigger hole. I have to get the car out by 4/12 and I don’t know how I’m going to get that amount of money up in such a short period of time. I can’t get any loans because my credit is not completely restored yet. Can’t ask family and friends because they’ll just judge me and say they don’t have it. I am in desperate need for the money and I appreciate all help and I truly thank anyone who’s willing to help me.❤️

 

Hello, I’ve never done anything like this before but I just need to explore all my options. First and foremost, thank you so much for even considering or taking the time to read.

My situation is as follows:

I am a hard working person, I save, pay every bill, and do my best to uplift those around me. Just recently we had a terrible blizzard where I live. My Job didnt close like the rest of the city and on my way in to work I was run off the road. The car was honking and sliding into my lane, I went to get out of the way and its sent me into the guard rail. The other car recovered and took off while I got crunched and spun 180°.

My car was totaled. It was declared my fault since he didn’t stop. I purchased an older car, a 2000 Jeep with the $2000.00 dollars I got from insurance and my savings. I preformed my due diligence and took it to a shop to get checked out. They said the body wasn’t perfect but mechanically it only needed a few things; “wouldn’t cost more than 600.”Turns out the sellers of the car knew the shop owner. Who was in turn helping his friend sell a problem car. When I took the car to Napa across from my home I was hit with a $2500.00 dollar repair bill. This was the honest diagnosis of what was wrong with the car. I have price hunted, purchased my own parts and I was able to find someone who did it for me for $1200.00. After leaving it at the shop for a week and coordinating rides I got the car back. Hooray right!? No, the next day the engine made a horrible noise and the check engine light was flashing. I have contacting 3 separate repair places and im told I am chasing multiple possible diagnosis and might as well buy a new engine, cheapest in town in $2500.00 dollars. The car was $3,900.00 cash to begin with. I don’t have a lot and I was trying to just get something reliable to get me by.  So now I’m really trying to make it work. Price hunting, YouTube, ect. ect. I specifically purchased an older car to compensate for the insurance increase heading my way but have just been done dirty every step of the way.

On top of the car, 3 weeks ago I was hurt while helping a neighbor in their garage. My foot got banged up and infected. I went to an urgent care after I wasn’t able to fix the wound myself. They gave me tests and sent me with antibiotics for the infection working its way into my foot. Tests came back positive for staph but the antibiotic they gave me didn’t cover staph. They didn’t change my scrip at all however to account for the staph. The external wounds healed but a staph infection moved into the soft tissues in my leg. After an awfully painful day at work I went to the ER. My leg was swollen and walking was simply not even a functional option.  I brought with me all of my paperwork from urgent care. I was told by the ER doctor I was lucky I came in when I did. I needed IV antibiotics, (the correct kind), ultrasounds for blood clots and had staph in the soft tissue moving up my leg. another few days and I would have needed surgery. I am so blessed that didn’t happen.

All of that having been said. I now have 2 huge medical bills. One from the ER. along with one from the urgent care; (which didnt provide me with proper care).

I like to think I am not stupid but I am young and my savings of $2000.00 dollars is all but gone. Any other emergency hits and I’m finished. I can’t afford a new engine. I cannot in good conscience try and sell the car without disclosing the issues. I have 2 daunting medical bills. I am genuinly in a position where I just need help. Having to ask is humiliating to me and honestly whatever anyone is kind enough to offer would be a grace I couldn’t even begin to fathom. If I can contact you I’ll provide you with receipts or whatever you would like to show the work being done and proof this isn’t fake.

That’s enough from me though. Thank you very much for your time and I am sorry for the sob story. I have tried to attach pictures but it says the file size is too large. It won’t accept anything larger than .5 mb and the pictures arent even able to be read clearly at that low of quality.

 

Regards,

Jon

My husband works very hard at a full time job that he has to commute to on the weekdays.  He gets up at 2 am every morning and drives for over an hour each way to get to and from work.  Because of this, he had a 2005 Honda Civic that he would use as his commuter car. This was also his only car. At 270,000+ miles, after 6 years of driving it and many repairs, it was finally no longer viable to drive.

He then purchased a 2008 Scion TC for $3000 that ended up being salvaged and illegally sold to him by someone who did not put their name on the title.  We learned our lesson and now know the proper way to check this ahead of time. Unfortunately, after 8 months of driving this car,  and many repairs along the way, it developed an engine problem that was too costly to fix, as the car was not even worth the amount that it would cost and we knew it would continue to have problems.  So now he is without a car to get to work, and he did not recoup much money from either of those two cars.  We know that we have to spend a little bit more money on the car this time to make sure that it is reliable for many years.

He has been working at his company for about 6 years and has worked his way through night school for 5 years of this time.  This schedule consisted of him waking up at 2am for work and returning home at 10pm.  He just recently graduated, and they have been giving him the responsibilities of a foreman without the pay increase for a few years.  Also a foreman would receive a company truck.  They are purposely not promoting him we think due to cutting costs on the job, and also they expressed concerns about how far away we live from the job.  We live as close as we can afford to the location that he works.

The other issue is that I have been disabled since 2008, and have had full time jobs off and on since then.  In 2014, I had to quit my full time job due to my symptoms becoming too difficult to work with.  I attempted to get a part time job last year, and had to quit after 3 months due to intense pain and not being able to go to work.  It makes me very frustrated that I can’t work, as I have always enjoyed working and every day I wake up and ask myself if I feel well enough to get back into working, while applying for jobs, and unfortunately my symptoms are so bad most of the time that I do not feel that I can leave the house.  This is a very depressing situation for me.  I wish I could work right now. I wish I could help my husband financially.  We try to help our families when we can, and unfortunately they cannot help us financially.

Any help that you can give would be amazing. We have never asked for help from anyone before. I always wish and meditate on love for the world, because that is all I can give right now, we have also adopted/rescued 3 cats and 1 dog over the past few years because helping animals is one of our passions, and it would be a miracle and a blessing if we could receive financial assistance with this situation.  Thank you so much, I wish you amazing karma and love always<3

Hello,

My name is Maximilian Barragan and of course I am here to ask for help. I have never done anything like this before but we really need the help.

My girlfriend and I have been together for 6 months now and honestly I could not picture myself with anyone more perfect than her.  The reason I am asking for help is because the 4 Runner she has is the only thing her father left her when he died over 10 years ago and she wants to keep it running for as long as she can if not forever. Currently she is using it to drive to her full time job and work part time as a Postmates Driver.

She has been having problems with the radiator, broken gears on her sunroof, balding tires, alignment needs to be adjusted, suspension is going bad, brakes are wearing down, dents, inside interior needs to be replaced and her dashboard needs to be upgraded. She also has a towel wedged under the hood to help stabilize it so it doesn’t rattle when driving. It’s going to take quite a bit of money to fix this thing up so she can drive around safely so we don’t know what to even ask for, but whatever you can help us out with we are entirely grateful.

This vehicle has such sentimental value to her and I really would love to see this dream be kept alive. I currently am volunteering for the next two months here at the Los Angeles Dream Center helping those who struggle with addiction in any form to try and get their life back together like I did mine.

If there is anyone that can help to keep this vehicle running, I thank you dearly in advance and God bless you.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my story. My name is Adam and I have been struggling financially for the past 5 months. I have always been a hard worker with a strong work ethic, but things have gone wrong for me and it has been difficult to stay afloat. Last year I had a decent job that payed fairly well, but the company closed their doors and there was no severance package. Shortly after that, my car broke down and I only had enough money to pay my utilities and buy food. I live in a small town in the country that has no public transportation, so I turned to the internet to find a job working from home. Although there are many online jobs, most of them require an applicant to have high speed internet. Unfortunately, the only internet offered in my area is a slower speed and ultimately disqualified me from several positions.

I was desperately searching for any way to make money working from home, but I kept hitting brick walls with every attempt. I eventually started working for a timeshare exit company, but it was commission only and I couldn’t get anyone interested in paying to get out of their contract. With no money coming in, I continued searching for anything that would help me get back on me feet. I found a truck driver recruiting company that didn’t have high speed internet requirements and began calling truckers across country. It felt good to help these drivers get employment, however, after getting a few drivers hired, the company said that it would be a few weeks before they got paid and they would pay me when they did. The company never paid me and left me in even more of a financial bind.

Back to the drawing board, I continued searching and praying but I have not been called for an interview. I have zero money to even have my car looked at to see what is wrong with it, let alone pay for the repairs. To top things off, I ended up owing taxes and my state placed a levy on my bank account and over-drafted it by $900. My utilities and rent are due and I have very little food for me and my dog. I attempted to find a good home for my dog but nobody would take him in. I am down on my knees and I am begging for someone to help me get back on my feet. I am the type of person who wouldn’t normally ask anyone for help, but at this point I am doing everything that I can to get my life stable again. If there is anything that you can contribute, I would be forever grateful. Thank you and God Bless!

My name is Greg. I live in southwest Michigan. I’m single. I do not drink or do drugs. I love to illicit joy in others, and I love to assist others. I’m 35 years old and I am desperate for some help to stop myself from drowning. I can make it if I can get over this hump.

Everything is relative, and if my story sounds like something you would want to support, you could help me from slipping under. I’m trying to figure out a way to formulate it so that you can understand without it being a rambling mess.

The Short(ish) Version:

• I work as an Optician and make $12 an hour. I have recently exhausted all of my savings (1/6th of my yearly income) on car troubles and medical bills (I broke my neck and had a wonderful case of inflammed bowels that they thought might be cancer. It wasn’t. Greg +1)
• I have $300 left in my bank account.
• My car engine is knocking. Taking it to a mechanic on Monday will wipe out my bank account, and will probably not be enough to fix it.
•   I have $5000 in debt on one credit card that I have only been able to make minimum payments on.
• I can’t get a loan to help or consolidate because my credit score is bad. 2 years ago it was 670. Today, 4 missed payments and 1 medical charge off later, it is 520.
• I have to move out of my home by the end of May and no longer have any savings to do so.

I am going back to school full time for Art & Animation. It is what I was born to do.  You can check out my instagram @lauxdesigns for some of my most recent artwork. I also have a website www.greglauxdesign.wordpress.com with some older graphic design work on it. It’s hard to make new art when your depression is taking over, but I am fighting back and learning new skills every day. I currently attend part-time online classes that I paid for.

I am supposed to start school on May 6th. I will receive financial aid, as well as a $785 housing allowance from my Montgomery GI bill that I receive from my time in the US Navy. I have to have a car, and be able to afford an apartment to get my through to June/July when my payments start kicking in.

How I plan to use donations in order of importance:

1.  Pay to have my vehicle repaired. It will get me to and from class, as well as be used to shop for Shipt as a part time job. If all else fails I can live in it as well.
2. Help afford a down payment for my apartment. I live in a college town and the average cost of a 1 bedroom is around $650 a month. They usually require first month, last month, and a security deposit (approx $1800) to move in.
3. Pay more than the minimum payments on my credit card. I made a terrible mistake that I thought was going to be manageable. It is not. It is a source of constant regret and worry. I pay $193 a month in a desperate attempt to not let my credit slip further. If I were able to pay this off, I feel like I could make a lot of positive lifestyle changes.

I have made so many mistakes, and my depression has become so encompassing. I was so close to breaking out, but I’ve been pushed down again. I waited too long to do everything, and now I can’t seem to move forward without roadblocks.

Please help me.  I would love to do paintings for you, and they will come from a place of immense love.

Thank you so much for reading. Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity. Thank you so much for just listening.

I am a 27 year old woman and just recently lost my job. I’ve hit a few financial hardships these past few months. Whatever money I had saved has gone on my rent and bills. My car recently stopped running due to a bad alternator and my tags are now due for registration renewal. Ever since that happened I’ve been really depressed. I live in an area where you need to have a car to get around. In return this makes it impossible for me to get to and from interviews, and it also takes away from me being able to go hiking out in nature on the weekends. Something I am very passionate about is music. I love all music. I feel that music is heart and soul and I consider myself and old soul. I love animals, art, and making a difference in the world by helping those surface their own fundamental darkness and standing up for what is right. In my spare time I also camping, jammin to music, photography, cooking, reading and editing and creating films and being with family and friends. I am asking for any donations to help me get back on my feet and get my car running to seek employment opportunities and to be able to get the car part, pay for the labor and be able to get my car registered. In addition I am requesting money to be able to help me pay my rent in advance given that I have exhausted all my savings and only have enough rent to cover the month of March. I am also behind on my pge bill. I just don’t want to end up homeless on the streets. Unfortunately, I was denied unemployment and right now I’ve been lucky enough to have neighbors help take me to food banks to get food. It’s never been this rough for me and I hit a really low point with my career. Unfortunately where I live General Assistance is only for two months maximum and the max amount is $250 for the month. Being a San Francisco native this is a complete culture shock for me because there are not as many resources where I live now, however I am determined more than ever to find a job where I can truly make a difference and I would like to go back to school to pursue nursing. I would like to become a LVN first but I have had to put this on hold because even with a loan for school I would still need to pay out of pocket to cover those expenses. Really any donations are appreciated. Thank you so much for listening to my story! Much love ❤️

If you are feeling generous and are able to donate anything you can do so on my paypal. Any amount is appreciated. Again thank you so much!

To whom it may concern:

I am a 54-year-old disabled (I am a right below knee amputee) healthcare clinician and former executive with a family of four facing the possible loss of everything we have, including our home.

My current troubles began in 2015 when I was injured at work in and then let go in early 2016. Until 2016, I had been gainfully employed and well compensated as the Vice-President at a Michigan rehabilitation hospital until I suffered injuries to my cervical spine and tendons of my right hand, and further injuring my right residual limb.

For nearly two years I was unemployed and nearly lost our home to foreclosure. My home was placed in forbearance and I nearly lost everything.  As it was, the entire situation left us deeply in debt. Eventually, by the end of 2016, due to my financial situation I qualified for financial assistance and Medicaid. Thanks to Medicaid, I was able to get the surgeries I needed. By May of 2017 I was able to work again. To provide for my family and avoid foreclosure on our home I had to cash out of all my retirement savings.

After getting a job out of state, though disabled, I was once again working at a substantial salary and began to resolve my debts, improve my finances, and avoid bankruptcy. However, it was still challenging to do so while also providing for my family. Just renting a room cost me an additional $500.00 a month and that did not include the costs of food and gas for my car. Living out of state had cost me over an additional $1000.00 in expenses each month. I have included a record of my rent payments while away.

To add insult to injury while traveling the 1200-mile round trip journey when I was working to visit my family, I had an auto accident which left me having to buy another car (used) so I could still get to work. This cost nearly $12,000.00.

Even though I was working at a lower salary (1/3 less than my previous salary – though still a good salary) and had the added expense of living out of state, I was able to resolve nearly all of my credit card debt, and remain on time with my mortgage, and help my daughter with her college expenses.

It was in September of this year when the facility I managed was closed, and I was laid off from job that disaster struck. Because of previous financial difficulties and this new hardship, I am unable to make my mortgage payment and my home is in forbearance once again. I am also unable to make my car payments and I am at risk of losing our family vehicle (I owe approximately $2500.00 on it). I am also behind on utilities bills, medical bills, and the portion of my daughter’s college tuition (approximately $1700.00) that she is counting on me to help her with.

I was fortunate to once again gain employment, though this salary is lower than my last salary and close to 50% lower than my salary before that job. However, it was enough to allow me to negotiate with my mortgage lender and extend my forbearance for another three months. I was to begin on 02/11/19. I was ready to start when just a few days before I was to leave for Wisconsin the polar vortex hit. This resulted in our losing power for approximately 4 days and delayed my start date to 02/14/19.

We were preparing for my departure when my mother-in-law became gravely ill and was place in hospice. As we were told that she could pass at any time, my wife wanted to travel to see her (she lives in Up-State New York). Despite the fact we could not afford it we applied for credit and bought a plane ticket for just under $500.00 so she could get there before her mother passed. This delayed my start date to 02/18/19.

My wife did visit her mother and returned, and I left for Wisconsin on 02/17/19 during yet another snow and ice storm. During the trip my car began to develop issues with suddenly accelerating and decelerating as well as losing power. I came to find that my car, a 2015 Nissan Sentra, utilized a CVT transmission, which unbeknownst to me was a known to have problems problem that affects all CVT transmissions that are in many Nissan cars. Nissan has failed on their part to inform the consumer about this problem. The main reason for this appears to be that Nissan owns a 75% stake in the company that makes these transmissions for their cars. JATCO is the company.

On 02/18/19, I also filed a consumer complaint against Nissan. Nissan requested I bring the car to a Nissan Dealership to have it examined. I brought my car to a local Nissan dealership in Green Bay, WI where it essentially died. I was told that the answer was to replace the transmission for approximately $4100.00. Nissan decided that, despite the known issues with the CVT transmissions, they will not help at all.

 

I cannot afford the repair cost of $4100.00 quoted by the dealership. Now I am forced to now rent a car (as I need a car for my new job) at a cost of approximately $33.00 a day I feel betrayed by both Nissan and CARite (the dealership I bought the car from -which will not even return my phone calls). I understand the car is used but the fact both organizations are selling a car with a known issue is something I find wrong. In addition, this has put my livelihood in and the security of my family in danger. I feel they have taken advantage of a disabled man who has limited resources.

 

To make matters worse, as all this was happening, we received news that my mother-in law passed away in the early morning hours of 02/19/19. As I did not have a working vehicle and we could not afford a plane ticket, my wife decided she would attempt make the 10+ hour drive to her mother’s funeral. Before making the trip she thought she would take the van in to have it service as it was overdue because of our financial issues. When she attempted to do so the van would not start and we were faced with another bill of over $500.00 to get it running again. These constant setbacks have stretched us past the point where we can even afford to have my wife drive to attend her mother’s funeral.

As you read this you may feel this all strains credulity. I understand that. My wife’s family feels that way and believes she simply does not want to be bothered to travel to her mother’s funeral and this has caused a rift between her and her family. Now it is too late for her to attend the funeral.

In the past I have been able to overcome multiple difficulties in the past such as abandonment by my father as an infant, my mother’s institutionalization for mental illness shortly after my father’s left us, being raised in two foster homes, the loss of my leg at the age of 24, two children born with birth defects and multiple financial struggles caused by various life events. At this point, I am reduced to simply pleading for help. My family’s and my life are in a tailspin and I don’t know how to pull out. Somehow, I need a working vehicle again, just to TRY to survive. Is there someone who can help either with a repair, a car, or even no interest financing to repair my car despite my damaged credit?

I am a 27 year old woman and just recently lost my job. I’ve hit a few financial hardships these past few months. Whatever money I had saved has gone on my rent and bills. My car recently stopped running due to a bad alternator and my tags are now due for registration renewal. Ever since that happened I’ve been really depressed. I live in an area where you need to have a car to get around. In return this makes it impossible for me to get to and from inteviews, and it also takes away from me being able to go hiking out in nature on the weekends. Something I am very passionate about is music. I love all music. I feel that music is heart and soul and I consider myself and old soul. I love animals, art, and making a difference in the world by helping those surface their own fundamental darkness and standing up for what is right. In my spare time I also camping, jammin to music, photography, cooking, reading and editing and creating films and being with family and friends. I am asking for any donations to help me get back on my feet and get my car running to seek employment opportunities and to be able to get the car part, pay for the labor and be able to get my car registered. In addition I am requesting money to be able to help me pay my rent in advance given that I have exhausted all my savings and only have enough rent to cover the month of March. I just don’t want to end up homeless on the streets. Unfortunately, I was denied unemployment and right now I’ve been lucky enough to have neighbors help take me to food banks to get food. It’s never been this rough for me and I hit a really low point with my career. Unfortunately where I live General Assistance is only for two months maximum and the max amount is $250 for the month. Being a San Francisco native this is a complete culture shock for me because there are not as many resources where I live now, however I am determined more than ever to find a job where I can truly make a difference and I would like to go back to school to pursue nursing. I would like to become a LVN first but I have had to put this on hold because even with a loan for school I would still need to pay out of pocket to cover those expenses. Really any donations are appreciated. Thank you so much for listening to my story! Much love ❤️

My name is Charles Fisher. I am 32 years old and I live in North Carolina. Today is 29JAN2019. I have been unemployed for the past 9 months. I am an American Board of Opticianry Certified Optician. I am also a US Navy veteran having served from 2004 to 2006 before being medically discharged. I was working as a contractor for the Department of Veteran Affairs as an optician until April of 2018. At that time I had several unexpected family and personal issues arise that forced me to resign my position. Shortly afterward, my car started having trouble but I was too distracted to do much about it. I have been doing everything I can to earn money these past several months. I have mowed lawns, chopped and split wood, gathered pine straw, cleaned horse stalls, built chicken coops; anything someone was willing to pay me for, which is legal, I have done it.

As winter has progressed these types of jobs have dried up. I have a 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with 241,500 miles that runs well enough but cannot pass emissions inspection due to several repairs that must be made. Among these repairs is included such things as replacing both oxygen sensors, the Mass Air Flow sensor, coolant level sensor, engine gas regulator valve, and a few other sensors. These repairs will help to get the car to pass inspection and therefore able to be registered again. To make the car truly roadworthy will require a bit more; tie rods, control arm bushings, rotors, brake calipers, brake pads, wheel bearings, ball joints, and motor mounts all need to be replaced. On top of these issues the old Monte Carlo desperately needs a good tune up. The cost of all of these repairs comes to around $500 if I do them all myself, which I am capable of doing, or more than $1400 if I take it to a mechanic.

I am only now reaching out for help because I am unable to find any more work close enough to home to not need the car. My parents are both in poor health and very much struggling financially themselves. I wish to get my car back on the road so that I may seek employment farther from home. Please help. I am seeking $1000. Please donate as much as you are willing to give and not a penny more. I thank you all in advance and pray that some day I will be in a position to help someone else in my current situation.

Best Regards,

Charles Fisher

Hello, I am appealing to you today in hopes of receiving monies that I can utilize to repair my 2005 Jeep Liberty leaky sunroof. It is a used vehicle, my only vehicle, with over 161,000 miles that I utilize for work daily. Unfortunately, I have only been able to apply $100 towards the $650 approximate amount it will cost to have it repaired. Each time I’ve tried to set aside the monies to have it fixed, something unforeseen comes up.When I purchased the vehicle, used, 2 yrs ago, I tried out the sunroof to see if it worked, and instantly, it was a problem, and appeared to not want to close so I made it a point to close it immediately but the mechanism or motor stopped working  and a pieces of the sunroof  fell inside the vehicle so I was able to close it but  when it shut, it shut off track and partially open lopsided. My quick fix was to tape it up but that hasn’t been fairing too well and recently it has began to leak inside my vehicle whenever it rains. If this continues, I am concerned that other issues will follow that I can ill afford to have.

I am the sole provider in my family, I work everyday as an Employment Services Specialist for a Vocational Rehab Services  department in my state. My employer helps find employment for individuals who have disabilities. Ironic, since I’ve always enjoyed and or tried to help others in need. I don’t make a habit out of asking anyone for anything, and this is very humbling of me to have gone to this extreme, but I’ve realized at some point, everyone has to get help every once in a while. If anyone is able to contribute towards my leaking sunroof problem so that I can get it replaced, I really would appreciate any and all assistance.

I have attached a picture of my sunroof below and the temporary tape job. Thanks again and God bless you in advance.

Hi my name is Brent I’m 32 years old and I have to boys one 10 and the other 2. So I’m having some troubles with finances I’ve worked at the same job for 17 years now and got to comfortable, I enjoy going to work and environment.  I work at a golf course so I love it. Unfortunately it doesn’t pay that good so i have always struggled. About 5 months ago i thought I would go do a fast title loan to help with bills over the winter because it’s always slow. Well I didn’t realize the payments for that were almost $800 a month. It’s my fault I did a dumb thing, so I had to turn my car in because I couldn’t make the payments. So now we only have one vehicle to drive and it’s pretty hard to get to my job and my fiancé to get to her job on time. Anyway I’m new to this whole thing not sure if it will even work and not going to lie it’s pretty embarrassing to do this. Thought I’d give it a try, anything will help to save up for a car for our family. Thanks take care

• Hi, my name is Juan C. Lugo, straight to the point I need money, I need money to fix my car, I turned 18 October last month and been working to Pay rent to my uncles because my parents are in Mexico, I arrived to the United States August 2016, and started working at the age of 16, I know my life is not that hard compared to others, I know and it makes me sad that I actually have to do this but I only earn about 500 dollars every two weeks, my insurance as you might know is ridiculously expensive 325 a month, this is my last semester in school and I don’t want to drop out just because of money, so I’m asking you kind person, you who has enough money to even donate to a website to help a poor teen out I am completely ashamed for asking such a thing, but I need a car before they fire me from my job, you might ask “tell somebody to give you a ride” but you see my family is tired of watching over me although they don’t say it I see it in there faces they do t want me there, this wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t go to school and decided to just work all day, I will send a screen shot of my bank activity, but also know that I tend to pay in cash a lot so it might not show up I’ll try finding some other solid proof, I’m not asking for a thousand dollars, no anything little helps, just to get my old 2003 Chevy tracker back walking, what happened was that the “time string” I believed it’s called, I just googled the definition because my English is not perfect, snapped inside my car and it made my care turn off I told my uncle how much would it be he said that it could vary from 400-600 dollars because the time string is located somewhere in the middle of the motor and they will basically take the car apart and that’s why it is this much, I already gave mundo uncle 320$, couldn’t give the whole amount because my girlfriend let me use her car ( which was not I’m good condition) it needed to get new tires and tires stringent , also needed a New front arm control bushing. If you could help you will always be in my prayers, god bless

Hi,

My name is Paul Arnold and I live in Dallas, TX

A couple of years ago I had the transmission rebuilt on my 1998 Honda Accord. But when I got out of the transmission shop after two or three days the transmission was leaking. And it was under warranty. It had a 12 month or 1200 mile warranty. And I was fixing to take it back to the shop so they could fix the leak. Somebody knocked on my door one day. It was a friend of mine who I had not seen for over a year.   I used to work with him doing a little bit of tree trimming work. And I went back working with him because he was in need of my help. And I never got a chance to get the car back into the shop. When I had to quit working with him because of my health issues my back and everything it was too late for the warranty on my Honda, the warranty had already expired. My transmission got just worse and worse. It finely got to where I had to keep putting more and more transmission fluid in about once a week and it wasn’t shifting right. Will finally it went out and I had to sell my car for just scrap. I’m on disability and I don’t get very much money a month. I really really need a car. I got about $800 saved back. I need a few hundred more dollars so I can get me a car because you can’t get much of a good car for under $1000.

I have a friend who’s helping me trying to find a car but he only gets off late in the afternoon so I only have a few hours for him to help me it’s hard to find something on Craigslist or anywhere else worthwhile for only $800. I have to wait until my roommate gets home from work before I can borrow his car then I go to my friend’s house and we drive around looking for cars and looking up ad’s on Craigslist and we sure come across a lot of people who are just trying to unload junk cars and not telling the truth about their condition. So many people out there are ready to take advantage of you and I really need a half decent quality car because I drive my friend around several times a week, and I’m trying to help him out. If enough people could just donate me $1 each that could add up and I would be able to get a decent car. I’d really appreciate any help I can get, I really would and I promise I’ll pay it forward in the future and help other people out like I have in the past. I’d been helping my friend because he doesn’t have a car. But now I’m without a car and he’s without a car. There are a lot of shady people out there selling used cars and all kinds of lying stories they tell about their car just to make a few quick bucks. If you could find it in your heart to help me with just a few bucks that would really be appreciated thank you very much.

I’m 19 and I moved to Indiana about 4 months ago from Oklahoma with my girlfriend. She has direct family here: Mom, Dad, two younger siblings.
Neither of us are actually from Indiana, so we don’t know anyone besides people we work with.
I have a 98 V6 Ford Mustang with 285,000 miles on it, it was my first car, I bought it myself for 900 dollars and it lasted me 3 years without any major issues. But now it is “dying” on me, in a sense. The throw out bearings, power steering pump is going out, the fuel pump, and I think the rotors or something are going bad. The point is it is going to cost more to fix it than the car is even worth, especially because the car has body damage to the front driver side. Dents in both driver and passenger door from being backed into. And some other things that simply make it not worth to fix it.
I have replaced the throw out bearings twice now, this is the third time they are going bad within a period of a little over a year. I don’t know if it is the car or if it is driver fault, a mix of both? Regardless I don’t want to and don’t have the money to fix it again. So here I am, online trying to get some help. I want something that will last me through college (last 4 years at least).
I’ve done research on Toyota Camrys, Honda Civics, etc. Cars that are supposed to last a very long time, cheap to maintain, cheap insurance, etc.
I’m not sure how long my car is going to stay running for, in the meantime I’m saving all the money I make. I have 2,000 saved but I would like another 2,000 to match it. If I can get 4,000 dollars to buy off a private seller.. that would get me enough money for title transfer, insurance.. Any possibly repairs the car may or may not need. With 4,000 I could cover all that and probably be able to get a car with a price around 3,300 or so.
I have tried financing a vehicle with my 2,000 saved as a down payment (car’s priced around 5,000-6,000) (Car’s at dealership’s are much more expensive then from private sellers) but I’m younger and my credit file is “thin”. I have a credit card that I’ve been using, spending 30% of my limit, paying it back, repeat. And some other things that have given me credit, but my file is simply too thin and I’m too young.
I have no one to cosign for me or anything. So financing simply isn’t an option. To be honest it isn’t in my best interest to pick up a car payment and full coverage insurance anyways, since I’m wanting to start college soon. I do not want to start college and have payments. It’s simply cheaper to buy off of a private seller so I would like to have 4,000 saved and see what I can do with it. I have put of college for the move to Indiana, the house.. And now I’m putting it off because of my car.
I’m just so ready to get started it is unbelievable, I want to make something of myself. Tired of working heavy labor jobs, or low paying jobs that don’t go anywhere.

I truly appreciate any and all donations, all these things just went wrong at once and I wasn’t expecting it. Most the money I had saved went into the house, furniture, washer dryer, etc. I wasn’t ready for my car to start having issues.
Worst comes to worst.. I use 1,300ish of  2,000 saved to fix my mustang if I don’t have enough for a car by then. (I’m listing this as car repairs, since it’s the closest thing.)

Earlier today I was driving to pick up my husband from work, got distracted by my son in the back seat, and rear ended another car. No one was hurt and I have full coverage but my deductible is $500 and I just don’t have that right now. This is my second accident this year and my husband is furious. We were barely able to get enough money together to get this car after I totaled the last one. Now with bills coming up and him being angry with me, he’s insisting I come up with the $500 or he’s leaving me. I don’t work, he wanted me to take care of our kids full time, I don’t have anything. I won’t have a place to live, any way to take care of our two kids or anything if he makes me leave. Friends and family don’t have the means right now and I just don’t know what to do anymore. My immediate family moved all the way to Georgia and I’m in California. My parents are still raising my younger siblings so financially they can’t help too much. Without a car I cannot get my daughter to and from school reliably and that is one of the most important things to me. I don’t know how my husband will get to and from work, assuming that he doesn’t actually kick me out. We are a one income and one car family. This car is everything to us, without it without it I don’t know how we will survive. Basically my whole world depends on whether or not I can come up with the $500 to get our car fixed, I feel helpless. It was my fault and I feel terrible. If I could go back to work to pay for it I would, but with two young children it’s almost impossible.  I try my hardest to go out of my way and help friends and family that need it and now I really need help.

I am a 32 year old mom of two small children. My husband is everything to me and is a wonderful father and provider but he can only do so much as one person.  I am on permanent disability as of 2016 and one of our children has special needs. Before I became disabled I used to work as a nanny and a fitness trainer. My husband works almost 2 hours away because he hasn’t found work that is closer to our new home. In February we moved to NH when we bought our family’s first house. It’s a modular ranch style home in the woods. We love it. It was a stretch to go from apartment living to home-ownership but we’re making it work. It’s just that we had two vehicles that we owned and had no payments on….3 months ago one of them completely died because the engine overheated and the dashboard didn’t signal that there was any problem until it was kaput. So we had to take out a loan for a used car which gave us an extra bill. We were modest about our choice, it’s $200 a month, but for us, that’s A LOT because it’s $200 that we weren’t spending before.

He takes the “new” car to work since he needs the reliability for the all of the miles and I rely on our 2006 four-door Ford to get the boys and myself to our local appointments, sports, school events/meetings and to pick up the one with special needs from school if he can’t make it through a full day (and of course emergencies).  We don’t have family or close ties in the area as we have only been here for less than a year. The car is in need of brakes and tires in order to pass inspection and I cannot drive it.  We’re financially in a very tight spot. We tend to live with just the basics as much we can in this modern world. Cable is too expensive so we use Roku, cell phones are ridiculously priced so we use pre-paid plans and since I don’t need a smartphone for work-related needs I have an old flip phone which suits me fine. We try to minimize wherever we can and are grateful with how the Lord has blessed us. We could be a lot worse off. We have been getting hit with some unexpected curve-balls financially though and could use an extra blessing if it’s in God’s will. It would be so helpful to know me and the boys can leave the house if needed while my husband is working so far away.

Anyway, if you are in a position to offer help, our family would greatly appreciate it. We will tithe 10% of any donation we receive.  God Bless you. If you don’t feel it’s a worthy cause, no worries and God Bless you and the cause that you choose to donate to.

Hello to you reader, my name is Stephen and I’m finding myself in s pinch over a vehicle I purchased earlier this year. Go back to December 27th if 2017 I was involved in a car accident that thankfully I survived. I was driving from working third shift and hit a patch of ice and ran into another vehicle going south as I was going west. It was the only car for my wife and I. A few weeks later we found out we were expecting our first child. After almost 5 years of trying to conceive I was convinced I could not have children. And go figure the year I do get this blessing I have no vehicle. So I borrowed cars from people who didn’t work the next day (being I worked third shift) or asked for rides daily. Until I saved up $2,000 to put down on a car. I’ve always had a bad run on used vehicles not from a dealer so I thought my best chance would be from a dealership. Well the only dealership that could give me a loan with what I was putting down at my credit put me in a 2012 Volkswagen CC. So I purchased it at a ridiculous apr ar 24%. $11,000 for a 7,000$ car. But I felt I was unfortunately at no other choice. So I purchased it. Well the vehicle was a front car and during a plowing of the road a rock impacted the windshield and cracked it. The dealer needed to fix it before selling it and took days to get the windshield fitted. When I got the vehicle I drove it to the gas station to fill up and when I did the car did not start up after filling. I got it started after 10 minutes and took it to the dealer. They then said there were no issues with the car it was fine. Well the car that didn’t just start on me says otherwise. They refused any help because they weren’t a “Volkswagen authorized dealer”. Well I drove the car out of the dealer fine and next I went to get gas a week later it happened again. It turned out there was a recall for the fuel pump on the car that had been pending for a little over a year that had “no solution”. So every time I got gas I’d have to jump start the car. Well finally it crap out on me and I had to have it towed 40 miles to the nearest Volkswagen dealer. They replaced the “faulty” fuel pump with a new one but with the same part that faulted out. So it drove until the actual recall came out months later. Well then my car started telling me there was no engine oil pressure. I had changed everything that it could possibly be except the oil pump and the whole motor. So I was told it was the oil pump. So I save up 1,000$ to fix the oil pump and no solution. I’ve had it to shop after shop and they all say the same thing. The motor is shot. All while I’m paying 450$ a month for the car that I had to have to help keep me employed. So all the money I can save up for a second vehicle goes toward my payment for a car I can’t drive. I’m just hoping someone out there that can relate feeling stuck like this and is willing to help. I just want to pay the turd off and get rid of it.

Thank you for taking your time to read. And thank you for any donations.

I’m currently a sophomore at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I grew up in Texas and I played a lot of sports so I never worked a real job. I recently just worked this past summer at Academy Sports + Outdoors and I’ve been saving up for a vehicle. I have 2000 dollars in my savings account right now. The vehicle I’m trying to buy cost $13,966. It’s a 2007 Jeep Wrangler X in an Army green color. I’ve always wanted a jeep. My parents would like to help me but they can’t because they also have to help my other sisters not to mention pay their own bills. My parents have never made much but they always made sure I was good. I really want this jeep and I’m all out of options. I’m about to start working again but I need this vehicle first to get to and from work. If you’re reading this I could really use some help. My credit isn’t great so I’d like to put down a big down payment so I’m asking for 8,000 dollars to use as a down payment. I already pay my own phone and credit card bill so most of the money I have saved up goes to those bills and grocery shopping. This would really help me out a lot. I can’t qualify for any auto loans or personal loans because of my credit score. It’s low because I don’t have anything in my name. This is the exact reason why I just got a credit card. Once I obtain this vehicle, I can continue working on building my score and I’ll have a job. I currently can’t complete work study because of a financial hold that I have on my account which I also need to pay for on my own. Like I stated before, I don’t know who else to turn to because it’s kind of impossible to ask family for $8,000. Everybody has their own family and bills to worry about which is why I’m here on this site. I’ve been trying to do all of this on my own because that’s the only way it’s going to happen. This post is literally my last resort. So please anyone who reads this, thanks for reading and thanks for helping if you can.  Paypal Me link: paypal.me/desschu
