Hello, my name is Al and I’m a professional wrestler. Part of my profession, in order to be seen by those who offer contracts, is travel. It is an absolute necessity. I was raised in Greensboro, NC and my travels took me to Atlanta where I met my Moon. She’s a wrestler as well, and we quickly fell in love. Fast forward, I decide to move to Atlanta and get her out of a dismal living condition she was stuck in. In doing so, I gave up a full-time job, gym clients, and bought a vehicle because mine wasn’t built for a 7 and a half hour drive. It’s been a struggle ever since, haven’t rebounded as quickly as I’d like. Been here for over a year, never late on rent and making payments on time. I currently work for an amazon fulfillment center as well as taking on a few clients to train; as well as wrestling as often as possible, but things have been difficult as of late. She recently lost her job, which puts the weight on me. I don’t mind being her Atlas and holding the proverbial sky upon my shoulders, but the weight is becoming too much to bear. We currently have one vehicle that we share, and use for our wrestling travels. It has begun to give us issue so we only use it around the city, and me getting to work, and usually would rent a car for long distance travels. With her losing her job and me taking on the payments that has lead to a decision. I gave up my wrestling long-term in order for her to be able to have a career. I can’t really afford to travel anymore and miss work, so she piles in a car with other female wrestlers to go to shows and I work. The money she makes from these shows help, but not as much when one calculates her traveling expenses. She moved from Wailuku, HI to ATL in order to pursue wrestling training. She has lived in Hawaii her entire life, and thus has no family on the mainland. My father passed 4 years and 3 months ago, with my Mother passing away in April. So neither of us have family around. Which leads me to my request of $632. That amount would assist me in getting our car repaired so I can eventually travel again for wrestling. I’ve never done a gofundme or other crowd-funding things before, was way too proud to ask for help. Things have become overwhelming. I don’t want to give up on our dreams, as they are the sole reason we are here. I pray that someone out there can hear my plea. She is my moon, and the only reason the tides of my heart are moved so…

My Girlfriend and I are expecting our first baby boy sometime in early October, We used to own a Mitsubishi Magna that we got on a loan for $5000 ( ended up being around $8000ish after paying rates etc ). Litterally 2 weeks before we had finished paying off the loan, my partner was on her way home ( This was before she was pregnant ) and a drunk driver hit her.. She did her best to avoid the accident but only got far enough for him to hit the back right ( Driver Side ) wheel, he drove off and another driver on the road chased him to get his details.

The car was totaled, We only got $4000 back for the car and proceded to go looking for another similar car ( We liked that make and model ), we found one for about $3700, bought it and been happy ever since ( About 6-7months ago ).

Just Yesterday, 29th/06/2017 the car started to make a ticking noise, We knew what it was straight away as our very first car had this same noise and it was the timing belt, in the end that car snapped it and we needed a new car ( it wasn’t worth fixing ).

We’ve taken it to a mechanic to have a quick quote and just make sure it’s the problem we thought it was, they agreed that it was what we thought. Got the quote and they said between $1300-$1500, obviously we don’t have the money just laying around ( Both in and out of work and study, me myself couldn’t find work for about 4 years and so i’ve been doing studies ).

We have no way to afford to pay this in a lump sum, maybe on a payment plan we could, but no one does payment plans for car repairs here, it’s depressing. I litterally just decided to go back and finish a course i dropped out of to try and find work last year, so i’ve been in the middle of setting it all up for mid year and the same day the issue started, i got a phone call for a job interview ( after the car started making noise, but before we took it to a mechanic ).

GREAT, i’ll be able to make some money and get this repair done, but no, can’t drive the car because if the belt snaps, it will destroy the engine making the repair to the damages it causes 5 times more expensive. Can’t get to the new job ( which i start on monday btw 3/7/2017 ) because i can’t drive the car and risk it causing more damage. Can’t make the money to fix the car, and get get a loan because i’ve not even started working yet.

We are litterally by ourself, all we have had is each other and we have no one to fall back on, it’s been like this for a long time, we finally ( me especially ) thought i was catching a break with going back to study and now a job shows up, but ofcourse with everything good, something bad has to cancel it out… the car.

With no one to fall back on and depend/rely on for help, we are out of options. I don’t doubt that we won’t get any help here, but i’m not expecting it, it’s a last resort/effort to try and get some sort of help fighting back.

Would absolutely be amazed and in awe of anyone who is actually willing to help a stranger, and appreciate it beyond belief, all 3 of us ( My girlfriend, myself and our soon to be born boy… if we can get to the hospital when she gives birth…lol ).

Definitely going to pay it foward when i can start making some decent money, regardless of what happens here.

Asking for around $1500 total to get the major repair done, we also need a major service which is $400ish but that can wait as the major repair is priority.

Hello Helping Soul!

I’m glad you are reading this, maybe you’ll be the solution to my problems! :)

You won’t read tearshredding, sob-inducing story of my really sad life. I’ve problems like we all do, but I’m not going to tire you with the details that is not related to this request. I hope you find some sympathy, and sorry for grammar mistakes you may encounter.

I’m a 24 years old university student in eastern europe, living separately from my family. I work besides, to sustain myself, to have money to buy groceries, etc. I’m not getting much financial help, because my parents can’t afford it.
I go home once in a while, to see them. For this, I bought a car. A 24 years old one. It wasn’t a bad business, it’s starts and moves from A to B. On the other hand, it has flaws because of the age. Oil leaking, break power loss, bad tires, rusting bodywork. I can’t / don’t want to buy an other car, I want to make, repair, upgrade this one to a better condition, and make it long lasting. For the trips to my parents, or any other needs.
I’m good with the tools, I look at myself as a self educated, hobby car mechanic. And I really LOVE cars. I want to buy spare parts, paint, liquids and such, to make it better and nice. I don’t need thousands of $, any “spare coins” would make a big difference.

I made some research, and going to write down some (approximate) prices:

Bodywork: ~170$
Painting: ~100$/element
Breaks: ~180$ (all 4)
Head gasket + replacement: ~350$ (ouch…)
Filters and oils (engine, transmission, brake, powersteer): ~90$
Tires: ~65$/piece
Clutch: ~190$

Hi! my name is Francis, I’m a young Aboriginal man living a remote part of Cape York on my traditional homelands. I currently work has a Aboriginal Ranger looking after my traditional lands. For the past 3 years, I have save enough money to purchase a vehicle to get me around  and also to provide a safe and reliable means of transportation. I currently living 4 hours away from medical help and 8 hours away from the nearest major center in North Queensland (Cairns) and knowing i had a reliable vehicle available is important.

I found a vehicle in Townsville, and purchased it, my father drove it the 1200 km from Townsville to home, during the last 50 km the engine started to over heat. Contact was made with the car dealer and they ask if we could get the vehicle back down to them. It was going to cost $6500-00 to get a tow truck to drive from Cairns to Home and back to Townsville. I couldn’t afford this.  I was able to save enough to ask a mobile mechanic to inspect the vehicle, we thought it was the water pump, the mechanic fitted a new one. Problem was not fixed. After long draw out discussion with the car dealership, it was agreed that if we could get the vehicle to a garage on the Atherton Tablelands. They would pay for this to be tested and they would pay for parts to fix the vehicle . After testing it was revealed there was a crank in the engine block. A new engine was needed. The car dealer agreed to pay for the parts and I would have to pay for the labour and transportation of the vehicle to the garage.

Now, the final 350 km to my home is dirt road, and getting a tow truck out on this was going to cost a lot of money, we were able to get it on the back of a truck heading south to were the bitumen starts, my father was able to borrow a Ute and hire a car trailer to transport it to the garage. To do this trip it would take him 24 hrs.

OK, the vehicle got to the garage, inspected and yes the engine block was damaged. The dealer has kept his side of your arrangements, and I currently have a bill for $2666.00. One of the hardship of living in remote parts of Australia, the cost of living is very high, and it take great sacrifices to be able to save. given this it  would take me quiet awhile to save these needed funds. My other concern living in a remote area, and if the need every arise that help is need quickly, I would be able to assist in a vehicle that I know get myself and other out of trouble.

Hello My name is Christopher I am a single Parent working 40+ hours a week and I live pay check to pay check to cover my rent and bills. I have a 15 year old son named Nicholas who is on his way to be a JR in high school. unfortunately two weeks ago the transmission on my Ford Freestar started making a noise, and after talking to a repair shop the repair shop told me that the transmission is going out. and it will cost me will up to $2,100.00 to change out due to changing the transmission requires the engine to be dropped as well. It is a van with only 125k in miles and has been a really good van up till now.

I have talked to my family and they are unable to help me. I have looked at payday loans and loans from the bank, but my credit is not the best and I have been turned down by the bank and the payday loans want from 500.00 to 700.00 more then the loan is worth which I can not afford.

I have a friend that helps get me to work a couple days a week, but outside of that i have to drive the van and over the last two weeks it has progressively gotten worse. I can not afford to be out of a car and out of work and truly need assistance in getting the transmission changed as so I can maintain working and supporting my son. I have never asked for help in the past and it has been a pride swallowing experience to have to do it now. I would even look it as a loan and repay the money over time. I just need a bit of help, not a hand out.

Hi i’m 19 turning 20 soon, I am a female and i’ve lived with my parents my whole life. I finally just got my license and now I don’t just want a car i need one so I can move out eventually because living where I do is honestly hell. I know this isn’t the ultimate sob story but i’m being completely honest and not lying at all like im sure some people on here do just to get money. My mom verbally abuses me everyday along with the rest of my family and i’ve also been hit multiple times and had to call the police. My mom will find every single flaw in me and point it out and make me feel worthless.. telling me how stupid i am, how i dress like a slut, how i’ve gotten fat, how i’m going no where in life. It’s an everyday thing and it’s taking a huge toll on me and i can’t even explain the extent of how bad it is for me living here. I just need to get away from it all for the sake of my mental health. I also have a job so it’s not like i’m not trying or am just lazy, I just am very close to having enough for a car but I feel like this would help me a lot and allow me to get a car quicker. I understand this isn’t as severe as some people who need money but i’m genuinely a good person who only cares for others and will always put others before me, and I don’t deserve to be treated the way that I do from my family, and I know i’ll be 100% happier when I can be independent.

Mike and Sandy need your help! The year 2016 was devastating for my best friend, Sandy, and I. It continues into 2017. We are both in our 50’s and are now forced to walk nearly everywhere we need to go since our vehicles have gone to the scrap yard, worn-out and not worth the very high cost of repairing them.

We have been best friends and roommates for 12 years and have always had transportation. We each had our own cars to get us to work, grocery store or anywhere necessary to live our lives and we were doing reasonably well. I had a decent job for 10 years driving a shuttle bus at the Kansas City International Airport. Unfortunately, because of a previous injury, I had to leave the job. Back in 1997 I was involved in an unusual accident, being struck by a heavy piece of scrap metal, a ball of metal actually, weighing about 10 pounds which came off of a scrap metal truck and went through my windshield, striking me in the left shoulder. The piece of metal was propelled going more than 60 miles an hour when it hit me. At the time of the accident my doctor told me I would probably develop severe arthritis as I grew older. He was absolutely correct. I was 33 at the time of the accident. Fast forward to now, this is what led me to having to leave my job at the airport. I could no longer tote luggage weighing 50 pounds or more, a requirement of the job. The pain became excruciating and I had no choice but to find some other type of work. I left my job on January 1, 2016.

On January 10, 2016 my car had a major breakdown. The estimate to fix it was $1800. The car, a 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, had 260,000 miles and needed other work as well. She just wasn’t worth putting $1800 into. So here I was unemployed, living on what little was in my 401K for a few months in order to heal so I could find a new job and no money to buy another car. Without that car I soon discovered that employers won’t hire you in Kansas City. They require you have reliable transportation. We have a bus system, however, it is quite ridiculous only running during the week and from 6AM to 6PM. The bus system is also extremely limiting in access, especially in Johnson County where I live, making many areas unreachable. Taking a bus does not meet an employer’s requirement of reliable transportation.

Sandy’s car, a 2005 Dodge Stratus, had some major problems develop after throwing the timing belt just a couple of years after she bought it. She bought it used from an individual so no warranty for repairs. The mechanics couldn’t figure out the problem which had something to do with the camshaft and camshaft regulator. She could only drive it without going over 3,000 rpm or it would buck. Consequently, no passing gear to take it on the highway. The car finally stopped running in the Spring of 2016 altogether and was parked in the parking lot outside of our apartment. One night some thieves tried to take the car, breaking into a window and destroying the steering column. The only reason they didn’t get the car was because it was already broke down. Because of our financial situation and the fact the car was not running at that time we had dropped the insurance. Nothing left to do but scrap her car as well.

So, you see, we have a big problem. Without a car in Kansas City there is no way of getting a decent full-time job. Currently, Sandy and I both have part-time jobs within walking distance of our home. We are struggling just to pay the rent and feed ourselves. We are not looking to get fancy cars. The amount of $8000 we are requesting would allow us to purchase 2 older reliable vehicles and pay for tags and insurance to get us going. I have always had older vehicles and feel confident in doing minor repairs and maintenance myself. Just something to get us from point A to point B so Sandy and I can find decent full-time jobs. We would be forever grateful for any help you can provide for us to get our lives back!

Thank you for reading our story. Please, help us to be able to stop surviving and start living once more.

Mike and Sandy

So here is my story. My name is Jeff and I’ve fallen on hard times for several years now. I need my transmission rebuilt in my truck. I am currently working but am only making enough to  keep my head  above water. Without my truck I miss out on a lot of side work this time of the year. I’ve always done odd side jobs like mulching,yard cleaning and hauling. Without my truck this is impossible. The truck looks and is otherwise in great shape. It is 20 years old but only has 120,000 miles on it. It’s a diesel so it has a long way to go. There was a problem with these transmissions from the factory as I have found on the internet. To fix and correct I’ve gotten prices from 3700$-5000$. To me it might as well be a million. I am 47 years old and have never had to ask for help before. My back is against the wall. It is very humbling to have to ask for money. Our house air conditioning broke at the end of last season and I have just had that fixed with all savings. It had to be done as my 71 year old mother lives with me and she needs it with her breathing problems. Without the use of my truck I will not be able to work extra to save money for the next problem. Our house is going to need a roof so I don’t want to miss out on all the spring work that will be coming. I will need the truck to do this as well but it will still be at least two years before I can save that. As you may b able to tell I can not get much done without my truck. It’s really the backbone to my ability to earn extra money to do the things I need done. I have already tried a personal loan but can not get the approval. I have no other means available to me at this time. I never thought I would have to beg for money. Especially at this point in my life. I want to get the transmission rebuilt at a local shop. There are two shops I have decided on and the funds can go directly to them if that is possible. I really don’t know how this works. I hope there is someone who can find it in there heart to help me out with this issue

I drive for a living, so not having a car means not being able to work. I have been working for the same company for the past three and a half years, and I have greatly enjoyed my job. Due to bills though, it’s been very hard to save money. When I do manage to save something up, something happens which eats up what I had saved. Now because I haven’t been able to work this week, I’m going to fall behind on my bills once again.

I have been having problems with the transmission in my car for the past month. I just got caught up on my bills, and was hoping my car would have lasted through this month. I would have been able to do something if it had. Unfortunately I wasn’t that lucky, and on the 27th of January the transmission broke. I can’t get any loans due to late payments while I was trying to catch up on my bills. I can’t get rid of the car because I still owe way to much. I tried talking to some dealers who self finance cars, thinking if I could get one of those I’d just tell my current finance company to take the car, and take the hit on my credit. My credit would have gone down the drain even more, but at least I would have been able to work. No dealer was willing to help me out with nothing down unfortunately. I’m trying to get transferred to working inside for the company I work for, but no telling how long it will take for them to find me a position.

All I want is my car fixed, so I can return to work. I love my job, and don’t want to lose it because I don’t have a car. The shop I talked to said it would cost anywhere from 1500-2500 to rebuild the transmission. They do have a payment plan though, but they require at least half of the total cost, with the other half being payed monthly over the course of 3 months. I’d be able to do that, if I had the half to put down.

Vehicle repair: 1500-2500
Other bills I need to do my job
Car payment: 232
Phone: 113
Insurance: 150

I am a 46 yr old male.

All my life, I was bounced around. Everyone told I couldn’t do

something, I would do it. I met every challenge by ‘working.’

Eventually I involved myself in others life cause I thought I had no problems. lol This led to a couple relationships. I ended up losing the gift God had sent me, my daughters. I thought, alright, I will just work thru it right? Not the case. Work doesn’t solve all issues. I learned.

Anyways, I felt I was given an opportunity to heal and get back to me,

the person without issues. I met a new woman, a wonderful woman,

who choose to love me, even though I had become a ‘loser’.

She has been kind, and her family has been kind to me.

I managed to acquire a used truck to get myself into a handyman business. Hasn’t worked out cause everything I ever made went to repairs. I couldn’t keep up.

My last two years I have had  0 income. I been given firewood even.

My ‘wife’ works for min wage. She is amazing person. There are no professional jobs for her after layed off from her previous job 17 years.

I am very responsible with money and never waste it.

But after 4 years now, I just have nothing left.

My spirit seems broken even worse than my truck.

My wife bought a small cottage, well below trending home prices.

Her job can pay mortgage and buy the dog food for hers and my dog.

I priced out options for a vehicle and found even buying a another used won’t help.

My wife stays in town with family cause I can’t even get around to get any work at all to even have gas money.

My truck needs an exhaust from headers back.

Also some rear seals.

I don’t even know why I even considered to beg.

I am alone by myself out here all winter with just dogs, middle nowhere land. I miss my wife so much.

I don’t have anything to sell except my means to a living, a few tools.

My wife doesn’t drive due to a seizure before I met her.

I am caught between rock and hard place as I don’t have family anymore.

I need to get my truck back on road so I can take a job, literally any job someone can pay me for.

Being a handyman never really panned out as half time I didn’t get payed. People have become such scammers these days.

I can’t deal with that. I just need a boss who needs someone to work and they can deal with those things.

Anyways, if I could get a loan, which I can’t.

I have bad credit history since age 16 when I went out on my own and got burned transferring a phone to me.

I have criminal record also from small town nonsense which makes hard to get full time work these days. Wish I had listened to mom in the day.

The only thing I live for now is the love my wife gives, but I am letting her down large. I want to move, but her family is here and this cottage is on her when I promised to help her in the first place.

If I could get a loan, I would ask for $5000, and that would only maybe get me on my feet.

It cost 20 dollars just to drive anywhere, and that’s not far.

I wish I had a mentor, a wing to shield me, but this site is for begging.

Thanks for listening

My name is Steven am a right sided paropolligic , am in a wheelchair the power wheelchair I had was stolen from me along with every single thing I owned . The vehicle I had I’d just purchased in June of 2015, in May 2015 is when my new power wheelchair was gotten . It cost $600.00 a month for 12 months . Me and my fiancée had her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend approach us needing a place to live, because they’d been evicted . In the meanwhile they told us the three grandchildren had Ben turned over to child protective services and the person she’d written a safety plan with was mistreating them we agreed to get temporary custody of the grandchildren which we done right away . Here we were me, my fiancée, three grandchildren two other adult’s in a one bedroom . My fiancée daughter’s boyfriend claimed he had a job come to find out he didn’t have a job had no intentions of getting nor finding employment . Me and my fiancée wound up being evicted from our now crowded one bedroom apartment had to find a larger apartment for us and the three grandchildren at the same time explaining the daughter and boyfriend had a o find a place of there own . So we find and move in to a larger apartment having the other two adult’s help us move in , all was fine until once again we permitted them to move in also . Explaining they needed to help pay the bill’s and we wasn’t financially capable of supporting ourselves them and the grandchildren . Of course those two agreeing to the rule’s laid fourth . One day the daughter gets upset with her mother because she was tired of handing her money to buy food, household items, hygiene item’s just not buying or going by the list’s she’d been given . Her daughter decided to take her anger out on me put sugar in my gas tank, had her boyfriend knock a hole in the oil pan of my car . That caused the engine to blow , to repair my car would’ve cost $2500.00 of which I did not have that put me totally depending on my wheelchair to do everything . Such as grocery shopping, going to the pharmacy, running normal errands doctor visit’s everything I had to do in my wheelchair rain or shine, temps was high as 114°  . They stole my wallet using my credit card, my bank card even my lone star card, my fiancée gave her daughter $200.00 so she could getbsome clothes so she could have something decent to wear to job interviews, her daughter steals $200.00 out of her mothers purse knowing that was needed to feed the grandchildren, us and them . She admitted to stealing my wallet using my card’s on that redbox machine to buy thing’s so the item’s could be returned for the cash . While dealing with these two people found out they was doing drug’s just did not care who or what they did to hurt me my fiancée anyone else they could make a dollar off of . In September 2016 me and my fiancée made up our mind’s we had to turn over the three grandchildren and get away from them . We decided we’d put all our belongings in a storage stay in a motel/hotel until we could find an apartment . In desperation we asked them to help, had them go pick up a U-haul rent a storage unit with me and my fiancée footing the bill . They go get the U-haul and rent the storage unit late Sunday my fiancée asked for the key’s to the U-haul her daughter refused to let her mother have them, the police had to come , they asked to see the paperwork to the U-haul and once they did the police told the daughter and boyfriend to hand over everything that pertained to the U-haul . One me and my fiance wasbdone getting a few left over thing’s the daughter smiles and says Quote “Good Luck with locating and getting in the storage unit ” ! End Quotem

Instead of further arguing and fighting with those two we figured best thing we could do is go on about our way on Monday we’d get on the phone find that storage unit thinking my fiancé’s credit card paid for it . It took us just about two months we located that storage unit just in time to be told it had been auctioned off due to non payment . In that unit was everything we both owned in this world including my power wheelchair, when I say everything that’s exactly what I mean clothes, cable equipment, my shoe’s socks family photo’s a collection of what is called 50’state quarter bear’s, all 50 two valued at over $40.00 say 25×$40.00=$900.00 that is just at cost, 2 bear’s per package at a cost of $40.00 ×’s 25 package’s = a total of $900.00 my wheelchair $600.00 ×’s 12 = $7200.00 the 1999 Mercury LS @ I paid $2500.00 had just replaced the cracked windshield @ a cost of $180.00 the cost to replace the engine @ $2500.00 . How can one put a value on memories my two children my grandson photo’s of the three of them along with so many other family member’s whom have passed away never to bebseen again, just like my fiancé’s buffet table that belonged to her mother , photo’s of her 3 children, 6 grandchildren countless other family memories all gone . Two 45″flat screen TV’s a 27″ TV new dishes, crock pot, microwave, flatware, cookware, my fire safe containing a solid gold coin dated 1833, walking liberty 24kt gold coins and .999 pure silver walking liberty coinscoins, two 24kt inlaid $2.00 bill’s, 8 24kt gold Buffalo coin’s some dated in the year 200 earlier, Elvis Presley colorized coin’s some 50 cent pieces some quarter’s, a 24kt solid gold stamp  . May sound petty to some I’m telling the honest truth, of course I filled a police report those two people cannot replace these those item’s need to be held accountable for doing such a horrible thing to me and my fiancée , no amount of jail time will get my wheelchair back, or the car it took me so long to save up for . I live off a very small Social Security income just like my fiancée, my rental credit’s ruined had to get two loans just to be able to afford to get away from those two people . Never have been so humiliated, embarrassed, that boyfriend attacked me in July of 2016 . Have had headaches every since, he broke my finger’s where is the justice ? All I am trying to do is piece my life back together . It’ll take $25000.00 if not more that’s why I am please help Please do not ignore this or my pleads to YOU ! Please help me get a power wheelchair, replace that vehicle, everyone needs clothing . Me nor my fiancée have any friend’s, or family to speak of , my parent’s brother’s sister’s have passed away just as hers have . My children are in no place financially to help I am turning to the public, Nothing whatsoever for Christmas, Thanksgiving we didn’t have anything we do not have anything for Christmas to eat let alpine do no Christmas tree not a single decoration do we have . Feel lucky we walked away with our lives what’s left of them .

Hello.
I hope this finds you and yours well.
I’ll try not to take up too much of your
valuable time with a lot of ramblings.
*No promises, though.*
I live in New Mexico, about 30 miles south
of Santa Fe, with my sister. We live alone
on 2.5 acres in a rural area. I am 61 and
my sister is 51 and we are low-income.
We have a small dollhouse business in a guest
house next to the main building…as well as
having accounts on Ebay…that pretty much
takes care of our usual daily needs.
Then a problem popped up, or should I say,
‘crunched up’?  One that we don’t have the
funds needed to take care of it.
Namely, one day not too long ago, I crunched
my sister’s car. Our car insurance had lapsed
the day before and was to be reactivated the
day after.
We have been told that it will take something
between $5,000 and $8,000, depending on
what was discovered once the rim came off.
Something was said about ‘a damaged strut’,
whatever that is.
Now we do have one working vehicle, but my
sister has several health issues, among them
diabetes and a non-functional thyroid.
She also has issues with walking long distances
or standing for long periods due to a reconstructed
ankle on one leg and a replaced knee on
the other. This is complicated by the fact that
the replacements are worn and need replacement.
On top of that, her natural knee is needing work
after compensating so long for both.
To cover business needs, runs to the Post Office
and FedEx, as well as shopping for the household
and other errands, I have the running car
almost all the time.
This leaves my sister with no transportation and
with no neighbor’s close by, I’m worried.
So what I’m asking for is help to get hers up
and running again. I know this is an imposition,
but I don’t have any other option, save to ask for
any help I can get.
I’ve not been able to find a grant for car repair,
let alone file for one. There are funds for cars,
but not any to repair one. If the car was obtained
through a free car to needy families program, there’s
aid, but none for our situation.
As I said, we are low income, but holding our own,
with only Medicaid, due to my sister’s medical needs.
(for example…one vial of insulin costs over $300 and
she takes two kinds daily. And on our income level,
there is no way we could get that without Medicaid).
I would like to thank you greatly for your time and hope
that you can help me. My sister needs her car back.
It’s parked next to the one I use (both Matrixs) and
I want to cry every time I look at it.
If there’s any money left over, we’ll use it to spay/neuter four foster kittens and buy stove pellets, as that is our only
source of heat.
Again I thank you for your time.
Yours In Respect,

On October 18 2016 

Began early morning ritual with worship, exercise and work preparation. As I started out driving across the trans mountains to work at a local hospital my vehicle began to heat up and unexpectedly stopped. I did manage to pullover safely for a cooling down and started to reverse directions towards home. Again overheating. Attempted to apply quick fixtures adding antifreeze coolants and sealents to no avail no response. Decide to drift to the nearest automotive repair shop called Zenitram Automotive in el paso texas. Prayed for Gods favor and wisdom while hoping and approaching. The mechanics were very helpful and genuine thus far. Diagnosed the problem using a diagnostic reader. The results were in much need of an rebuilt engine. I was horrified! The mechanic empathized with the necessary need of me getting to work and maintaining it since I just began employment with a local hospital. The mechanic reduced the labor cost and parts to a total $1,496. I scurried and emptied my savings and provided a deposit of $500 leaving me with an ending balance of $996. I realize other imperative needs are above mine but humbly sharing my personal need to be able to continue to maintain a healthy financial livelihood. Thank You so very much.

Hello, my name is Aubrey Bert.  I am a single mother to a 2 year old daughter named Jaedah. (jay-duh) We are currently in need of a car. I am not employed at the moment, but I feel like if I had a car everything would fall into place. Everywhere I go, I have to walk or get a ride. It is hard for me being a single mom, I just need some help getting my very first car. I want to be able to leave when I want and take my daughter to places. I am looking for a job at the moment but right now anything will help. God bless you all. Love,  Aubrey

Hello first of all I would like to thank you personally for taking the time to read my humble request for assistance.

I have been struggling for the past 10 years with many life situations that have taken a great toll on my mental health and ability to cope with life. I recieved a DUI and have never been the same since. My business closed, my house was foreclosed on and lost many personal relationships through death or separation. I was doing alright until a break up that sent me into a tailspin and I was not able to cope. I have ADHD, Major Depression, General Anxiety Disorder and personally think I am on the Autistic Spectrum because I have many of the characteristics. I moved from one state to another following the love’s of my life but from all of life’s stresses things went downhill and now I am struggling to stay where I am at and be a good father.

My daughter means everything to me and I give everything I have to ensure that she is safe and taken care of but I need help to coping with a few bills that would take so much pressure away so that I can get to a better mind state and allow a little girls father to support her as she is growing. A donation know that my daughter can get to school and daycare and that I can work and provide for her. I am falling further and further behind everyday and need a little breathing room.

I work as a screen printer, I do picture framing and am a visual artist. I currently work but I don’t always get 40 hours and the work can be difficult to stand due to my health problems, I have racing thoughts constantly and have trouble sorting things out. I have a ear palpation that is very hard to live with when there are sounds my head doesnt agree with.

Anything would help. A donation would go directly to ensuring a child’s safety and well being through her daddy’s caring support and love.

Thank you for your time.

I am currently in between jobs and i am finding it hard to find work because everywhere wants someone with a car, here is my problem, i don’t have a car and i don’t have quite enough to buy one. So i am asking for your help anything you can spare i don’t need a lot just enough for a secondhand car that gets me too and from work.

This is obviously a very last resort, i have tried for loans however i have been turned down due to being unemployed at the moment. if you choose to help me out in anyway i would like to thank you in advance because if you are someone who is willing to help out a stranger like me in hard time then you are someone the world needs more of. thank you very much.

My boyfriend means the world to me, works his butt off on night shift to be able to pay the bills and make sure we have food. I’m in between jobs and still a full-time student saving up to surprise him with a new car.

His is acting up and we’re both afraid it’s on its last leg and close to giving out. I’m aiming to save up $4,500 to surprise him with a car to replace his current one. He does so much for me and really goes out of his way to make me happy so here I am trying to find any way I can, while jobless, to treat him the way he really deserves to be treated. He deserves the world.

hey , am Joseph from Kenya and i didn’t go for further education because there was no money,currently i do help those who don’t have chance by teaching them how to repair motorbikes to start there own job  and don’t  have money to support them to stay with them, am looking for help to make them stay until they finish there term please help me to help them

My name is Shaela I’m a 37 year old single mom of a 1yr old girl named Lolah. I don’t have any family or friend’s that can help me due to their own financial troubles. I am asking for donations so that I can buy a good, safe, reliable car to drive my daughter around in and get myself to a job and back. Last year when I was pregnant with my daughter I came up with $2,000 to buy a car from a friend’s husband. He owned a auto repair shop and said he put all kinds of work into this car and he promised it was a great car so I trusted him. Well as soon as I drove off in it the thing started falling apart! It’s broke down now in the parking lot of my apartment building. It would cost more money to fix all that’s wrong with this car than it’s worth and I don’t have the money anyways. I’m a good person I always help others but seems nobody’s there to help me! & I sure didn’t deserve getting ripped off. Having a good car would change my life. I need to work I am sick of struggling I’ve got rent to pay and a daughter to take care of and without a car it’s impossible for me to work. Please help me raise the money for a car any little bit will help! If not for me for my little girl.

Hello, Iam 22 years old and I have a fulltime job. unfortunately my job does not pay me enough to afford a car.

I was very scared at first to start driving it was very hard for me to get my license. It was just a scare hold me back a few years to get my license. I finally got my license. And now Iam more determined than ever to get a car.

As you can see I dont have the money. I help my parents at home and pay my own bills. My student loan I asked for my Associates in Business. And my phone bill that I pay and other things. When it adds up I dont even have money left to save. Trust me I have tried!

My parents help me so much by just taking me to work. But it is very frustrating to have to count on people all the time to be able to go places. I want to start school and become an RN. Be able to get a better job and be able to go places and get my stuff done without having to hesitate. As well as being able to help my parents financilly like they have help me all these years.

Im not the type of person to ask for help. I even tried to look for a parttime at night. I wouldnt mind working at night if I had to but all the places I applied they have not called me yet even though I have called. Iam very restricted with the places I can apply since I cant relay on my parents to pick me up late at night. And the bus does not work at night.

I would really appreciate it and it would help me alot. Any amount is appreciated

My name is Rebecca and I a single mother of 4. When my husband split (had to kick him out for putting his hands on me in front of kids) I immediately started getting behind with all the bills because rent and electric bill were due and he had the money for them but wouldn’t give it to me. I have been trying and trying to catch up (I wait tables, clean houses and I try to sell stuff from around the house) but every time I think I’m almost there something happens. We’re supposed to be moving into another house that is $300 a month cheaper (about to be evicted because I can’t afford the rent where we are right now) and need $1000 by the 15th to get in it but I keep having all kinds of issues with my van. First it was just having to get a new tire every other week, then I was told I needed a front wheel hub assembly($200) and that the tire could fall off at anytime and then it started not driving right. It wouldn’t go over like 20 mph..I even got pulled over by a cop who told me to park it and not to drive it until it was fixed and it needs a cv axle. Im going to have a hard enough time trying to come up with the money for the new house (which I dont really see how I can) much less get my car fixed or get a new one. I was even told by one guy that it would cost more than the van is worth to fix it. Im having a hard time finding rides to work because I have to drop the kids off at the sitters and then pick them up after. I am so scared I am going to end up losing my job. I would appreciate any kind of help, whether its help fixing it or help finding a new one. I even understand if you don’t want to give cash, you don’t know me. If thats the case maybe we could set up a way for you to give the money to the mechanic, car dealer or whoever. You can even come to me if that would make you feel better. My kids and I just desperately need help. My kids are my life, I feel bad enough that I cant buy them things or take them places but I have to keep a roof over their head and I need a car to get back and forth to work to do that. I want to thank anyone/everyone for taking the time to read this and even considering helping us

First I want to thank who ever is taking the time to read my request for help.  This is the first time I’ve learned about something like this…I guess I’m optimistic and positive that there are people out there willing to give a helping hand to families.  I haven’t suffered from any tragedies or losses like some and very thankful and humble for what we do have…However times do get hard financially and puts a strain on us sometimes and it sure would be truly a blessing to actually receive a little help. I am a stay at home mom looking to go back to school (for Real Estate) after 3 years of being home with our 3 year old.  My husband and I recently married and are expecting another one in a few months. My husband works full time but we still can’t seem to get above waters.  Our car that we share is in need of repairs and the Air conditioning does not work properly.  It is very hard to bare in this Arizona heat where it gets well above 100 degrees.  If we were still single and childless it probably wouldn’t be as much of a big deal but having a small child and one on the way makes it difficult to deal with.   We have a small car and would love very much to have help with buying a used suv.  We are asking for $4,500. Just enough for a decent running suv.  We are trying not to finance one as we want to avoid getting further into debt.  My 3 year old just started preschool and the cost for preschool is so expensive…it will give me extra time on my hands to possibly return to work in the beauty Industry that I have 10 years of experience with and help put myself through school, but until then much needed assistance would be very much appreciated.  Thank you again in advance who ever you are that helps my family out

Hello, my name is Hilton Hoskins Jr. and I’m a service connected disabled veteran. I’m here today to raise money to get a badly needed new engine and new tires for my car. To many others a car is a luxury, to me having reliable transportation is a necessity. I need my vehicle to get back and forth to my doctor’s appointments. I was told due to the year of my car (2009 Dodge Avenger SE) that a new engine would cost anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000. I’m trying to raise the money for the engine definitely as far as the tires go. I might be able to get them on my own but it would really help if I could raise the money to get them both. I appreciate any help that you could give me. Thank you.

I am kindly asking anyone to please help us. we are asking for God and his Son jesus to please touch the heart of anyone to give me and my kids a helping hand. It is only God that know how much pain I am going through. To not been able to provide for my kids. It hurt me deep inside knowing that  can’t provide for them as a mother. It hurt so deep. I am suffer from serious depression that sometime I wish I was dead. We are really suffering. Please please help us. Thank

With having 2 jobs and very little shifts these past 2 months due to the season, money has been very short. Being a very independent person, any money I earn goes towards my car, enabling me to go to both work and school as I pay for my finance and insurance.

My dad has given me a strict deadline of the 20th February to get get my car repaired. With having booked it in for the 16th of February, the date is nearing closer and money is still hard coming. I’m £133 short to get my car repaired, with the total cost of the repair at £500. I’m still searching for better jobs, but currently no where convenient is hiring.

I’m 18 years old, and without the use of my car, I wouldn’t be able to get to either school or work due to the distance in which I live from both places.

If I fail to get my car repaired this upcoming half term, my dad will be removing the use of my car from me and selling it on.

Unfortunately I have no family members which would be able to lend me this money. I have been trying to save up for so long now.

Any kind generosity would be greatly appreciated as every little helps.

Hello. I am father of three children. I work 10 hours everyday for few money, not over 700 euro each month. My wife earns less than me. So it’s very difficult to provide to my family even the basic. Last week a had a car crash. Not very serious but I don’t have the money I need to fix the car. The place I work is almost one hour away from my home if I go by car. These days the only way to go there is by a taxi because it’s out of the town and no buses go there early in the morning , but it costs almost all my daily paid money. I take money from my parents and from my friends to buy food everyday and if I don’t fix my car, soon I will not be able to pay my bills for electricity, phone or the taxes I owe to my state. I would never ask for help if it was not necessary for me and my family to live decently. I don’t care for myself because I’m used lo live with a few money but I don’t want my kids to be deprived even the necessarily. So any help is important for me and my family. I don’t need money to spend more…just to fix my car so I can be able to reach my work easily and not to spend all the money just to go there. I appreciate any help and also I want to thank you in advance!

To whom it may concern,

I’m not the type of person who would ever ask for help I hate asking for help but now I’m to the point I have to.

I’m in need of some help to get my car out of the shop. My 2002 ford focus broke down about 4 years ago now. The transmission went out on it. I had found a transmission for a great price but it ended up being a bad deal. The transmission place in Denver CO had really done me wrong gave me a faulty transmission and when contacted them they had closed there doors. Luckily I found an awesome guy at a shop that did so much to help me get my car fixed however with one hefty bill.

I am driving a small beat up single cab pickup truck that is about to break down as well but most of my worries go for my 2 children who have to ride in this small truck. It’s scares me to death.

I work full-time and I’m a full time mom as well. It is very difficult for me to try and come up with the money for this on top of paying my bills. I don’t want to loose my car.

I’m asking for your help so I can get my car out that has been sitting for 3 years.

Total cost of the repairs were $2225.75 in which I have been able to only pay $800.00 over the last year and a half.

I hope you’ll find it in your hearts to help me in anyway you can! Anything helps and is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and god bless you all!

My name is Daniel. I am 21 years old living in Miami and my cars ignition has broken; I am a college student studying biology at Florida International University. I am originally from Arkansas and here on a scholarship. My father left when I was very young and my mother is not very well off. I send home $150 per month which is all I can afford with my part time job as a cashier at whole foods. I need my car for work and school. I live alone in a room in a house where I pay $600/month. I went home in December which put me back $870. I was trying to put money in savings but that is slow as I have expenses almost exactly equal to my income. I really need help and don’t know what else to do. I can’t ask my mother and have no other real family besides an uncle in Ireland I have only met twice. I beg for anyone to help. The mechanic I had look said the repair would cost me $740. I have $150 but that is all. I have been trying to get around on public transportation for a few days now but I can’t make it on time to work after class with the schedules of the bus here. Please help in any way you can, the button for my PayPal account is 

Again, anything helps. I beg for charity and greatly appreciate anything that can be done to aid me! Dig deep into your hearts, I am just a poor college student with nowhere else to turn in my desperate time of need. Thank you so much

Hello, my name is Carla. I am in need this time of year.. As a single, parent also raising her siblings- I made Christmas very good here at home but unfortunately my transmission on my car gave away a few days before Christmas and I find myself with no other options but to at least attempt to seek help. I don’t expect a hand out. I WILL PAY IT FORWARD! I ask for nothing, and have worked hard for all I have- wasn’t until recently I found myself unemployed.. and getting another car is imperative, given my outer city residence.

I am the oldest of 8. One of my brothers passed away when I was 6, the other I was 14. Joesph who died when I was 14 was second to me. He was born with a fatal disease called hunters syndrome. But he was one of those kids who touched anyone who met him. A true gift. My other brother died of SIDS and 6 weeks old. After my mom lost James- the baby- she fell into drugs, she was depressed. My dad was here and there sometimes- but he never was there emotionally for her, or us kids. I found myself having to be the functioning parent. Looking after my mom, the kids, the household chores and missing a lot of school. I was not literate back then. I could read or spell- and my learning disability followed me through high school.  Eventually they put us in foster care. Again I had to be brave for my brothers and sisters. It was hard. We ended up in a bad places, my mom and dad separated, and I had no contact with them- or any of my other relatives for almost 2 years. At age 15 my Dad finally got us out of foster care. Now my MOM was still emotionally ill and on drugs. I seen her occasionally. At least once a month I went to dinner with her at a franchise diner. I was 17 at the time… We had good pasta and she had a friend give her a ride home, and offered to drop me off as well. I got out of the car gave her a kiss and hug and told her I loved her. That day though… I stayed in the middle of the intersection and watched the car drive away as if I were missing something. I waited until the car was no longer in sight and then finally left the street to walk into the house (Something told me in my head.. I would never see her again) . 2 days later… I found out she had died. BUT!!! a few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant with my Daughter Kassidy and know she was with me! to jump forward to now- My dad is no longer in the picture, he gave up. I am a single parent raising my girl and the last three younger siblings- John, Lindsay(Now 19) and Danni. 14 and 15… all alone. I know what my purpose in life is: it’s to be a caregiver for those who need me. and it seems this is a lesson I was being trained to do all along since day one. Of course I’ll be okay. Besides all that.. My faith carries me always. It is the pure will of a person to be heroic in these bad situations which glorify the purpose of our iniquities and hardships. Which is good… and also Love. I think that is all that truly matters over all. One’s ability to fight for another and his/her good fortune. truth is…..in all honesty- I am very lonely and sad much of the time. I raise three children alone, I don’t make much money…but I am ok I find myself facing the world alone everyday.. and that can be rather cold and a hard pill to swallow. Being the oldest of my siblings.. I never give clue that I am feeling outed. Instead I put on a smile, or my brave warrior face. I have been used, hurt, abused, and have suffered a great deal. But… that’s okay. You see.. it’s not about me. It never was. No matter how much it hurts… How much I want to give in, or how much I literally want to lay down and cry….. There is not one being on this planet who has tears that are less important than mine. I am tired.. but I have work to do, until the day I am no more.” these aren’t empty word on my behalf… I come from a very dark place. But I keep a light on always… I never lose hope. What you see is a broken girl who has been put back together so many times losing pieces along the way. I am not afraid to give myself up for others. And I am not asking for a reward. Just a little help when I really really really need it.

Please help my family and myself purchase a vehicle. I will settle for an old 1981 $900 junker.. I just need something to make sure we can move from point A to point B, and continue my active job search. My broken truck sits with a $2200 repair quote, I only paid 2000 for it 3 years ago.. so I figure it would not be wise dumping more money into it.

I’m a young twenty-three year old man who has fallen in to desperate times. I did not even know help like this existed. If you’re out there reading my story, it all began in March of this year (2014.) I drive a 2011 Mazda 2, still making payments on it, and had the misfortune of hitting a curb and messing up my passenger side tie rod, which is a whopping $883.00 to repair (Goodyear estimate) I have been unable to repair that as I lost my job back in June, and have been living with my father, a fifty-five year old man who dedicated his life to raising two sons on his own. A sweet man, whom battled cancer for many years, and has survived treatment for prostate and colon cancer so far. Currently his health is improving, but I am struggling to make it, I work part time at a movie theater and its not paying the bills. I’m facing repossession on my vehicle and recently my passenger window was busted out. I’m starting to give up on this car, as its cost me so much in the short years that I’ve had it. My monthly payment is $263.04, and I’m approaching my next payment date. I don’t know what to do, I was raised to never ask for a hand out but so many shortcomings in such a brief amount of time, this was all I could think of. Anything would help. I just have to keep this car somehow, as its the only vehicle in my family and without it we wouldn’t make it. Please help me out.

Thank you sincerely for reading my story.
