Hello to all, my name is Sarah Jean. And I am in need of assistance for vehicle repairs. About a week ago, my van overheated and is now inoperable because I can’t keep any antifreeze/coolant in it. I had a mechanic from Meineke look at it and they quoted me a little over $1,000. I went to Meineke because I thought I might have a warranty with them because about 6 months ago, my van had overheated and they repaired it for me by replacing the hose assembly for the antifreeze/coolant. The hoses were deteriorating at that time and I thought I would have no issues with it again for at least a few years. The van is a 2013 with almost 200k miles on it. But sadly, that isn’t the case, the leak has something to do with the housing of the oil pressure sensor I believe, it could be another part and I’m mistaken. I use my vehicle daily in order to provide for my family. I am a single mother to a 17 year old & also an 8 year old girl. We relocated a few years ago to escape my abusive ex. The only family I have outside of my children is my mother, and she doesn’t have much either. However , she did send me what she could. Which was $200 and I used that for groceries and other household necessities and hygiene products. Earlier this year I was doing pretty well financially. Things changed when I had a cancer scare, I gave away a lot of my clients that I cleaned for with my small cleaning service and accepted a position as a restaurant manager. Unfortunately, I’m no longer in that position, I’ve had trouble with finding someone to look after my daughter while I work, especially living somewhere that I don’t really know anyone. I still have a handful of clients that I clean for but without my vehicle, I won’t be able to and that will cause me not to be able to make ends meet. I’ve also been supplementing my income doing food deliveries because I’ve had a tough time marketing for new clients. We have enough groceries to last a week or 2, and I was able to pay December’s rent & utilities with the money I had made before my vehicle broke down. I haven’t started any Christmas shopping so my 8 year old daughter probably won’t have a Christmas this year, luckily my 17 year old understands. But if I am just able to get my vehicle back working, I’ll at least be able to make ends meet for our upcoming expenses. I plan on looking to work an actual job to supplement my cleaning service and so that I am not driving my vehicle into the ground again. I’ll then be able to save up enough money for a down payment so that I can trade my van in or sell it and get something else more mechanically sound. I will say I’ve tried for a loan but I’ve been declined for everything besides payday loans. Which only offered $800 and the repairs would be greater than that amount. I’d also have no way of repaying them for at least a month or two. If anyone is able and willing to help me, I would greatly appreciate it! I’ll definitely do my part to pay it forward when I’m back to being in a better position. Thank you for taking the time to read about my situation, I pray that you are blessed with great abundance and success in the upcoming year! Merry Christmas to all!
