My name is Michael. I’m 57 and I’ve always worked hard, always been employed.  My problems began about 4 years ago after some family members passed away.

I left a pretty good job to come back to my current home, which is a very rural property with a mobile home. With no one left to care for this place, it would have fallen down to worthless in no time. I’ve completely paid off this property and intend to retire here. I had been living on my savings and proceeds from my 401k for several years but that’s all gone now. Most of my work experience is in the sewing industry but there exists virtually none of that here. That, combined with some health issues I’ve been having, has limited my work to part-time jobs. Oh, and I have no medical insurance now, so I can no longer afford my blood pressure medications. In spite of these issues I was doing alright working part-time in a small factory in a town 45 minutes from here.

Then things took a very bad turn. My only vehicle broke down. It appears to be a cracked block or head problem. So, I cannot get to work. Others have tried to help. My part-time boss lent me an old car. After I got it home it never started again. Another friend lent my their very old pickup truck. It broke down right away. It really seems like everywhere I turn I’m hitting roadblocks. Nobody in my family has ever been wealthy and my sisters have loaned all they can afford. My bills, minimal as they are, keep coming. I feel quite stuck, which is why I’m turning to this website hoping some good people out there can find it in their hearts to help. I’m hoping for maybe $2500.00 for a decent used car.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

First off I want to say thank you for reading this. I won’t waste your time and will explain what happened.

I’m 18 I go to college near my home. I recently went to visit a school upstate because I’m looking to transfer there. So I drove up there and on my way home it was snowing and the roads are very narrow and only have two lanes. I have been driving for three years and NEVER was in an accident. While I was turning a corner some idiot in a pickup truck decides I was going to slow and went to the opposite side of the road to zoom pass me and cut me off but when he was about halfway another car was coming the opposite way. Having no regard for me he tried to swerve back in the lane and was going to hit me so while I was breaking hard I had to swerve further left and hit huge rocks, snow and a rail. My car is totaled and is still in that same town upstate and my parents are threatening to kick me out if I don’t pay to get it towed down by Friday! The cost will be $1500 because it’s about a 145 miles from where I live and I don’t have enough. Again I work and my dad talked to the tow truck company already and had them schedule it to be towed down on Friday. So I need to come up with the money by then or else I’m in HUGE trouble and will be kicked out. I come from a Caribbean family so they really will do it and my mom already packed all my stuff up. I should’ve taken photos of the accident but I was freaking out and crying so I didn’t even think to do so. Again any little bit helps Even a dollar.

Hi. My name is Talia. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this, if nothing else.

My vehicle was repossessed by a deceptive loan company currently under lawsuit from the state it operates in, and the repossession and towing company they operated with caused major damage to my vehicle’s rear differential by neglecting to keep all wheels on the tow dolly or use a flatbed for this AWD vehicle. I was driving for Uber and Lyft at the time as a primary source of income. I managed to gather up the sum that need be paid to redeem my vehicle from the tow yard, my only hope being that once I got my vehicle back I would be able to resume driving and would be able to work hard to keep my bills paid after the deficit that regaining my vehicle put me and my partner in. With such damage done to the vehicle, this has been impossible, and even as I try and gain steady employment, getting to and from work has been expensive and at some times impossible as the buses aren’t running and paying for to use rideshare services is out of my budget. I’m trying to find employment within walking distance but it has been difficult. All I need is to be able to pay for the repair of my vehicle, but that is a steep $1,200. In the time since all this has started, I’ve had to fight to keep my lights on and to avoid eviction. I’m reaching out for legal assistance and for community resources to keep bills paid for this short time, but I’m staring down the barrel of losing everything. Any help that can be offered would mean the world to me. All I want is to be able to get my life back in order and continue to put good into the world.

We have a farm with animals that need feed,
And no way to get it.
We are on disability our
First truck blew the head gaskets and we used the last of our savings..to fix it but,it smokes and is missing,so it needs a motor..The truck I bought from a guy on Facebook market place rip us ..
We knew it needed tires, shifter column and cable,
He swore that was it but it need brake pads and rotors bleeding, window handles, window governor,tail handle wires,new sway bar bushings and bolts,after two and half months of scratch and scrapping every penny we had.
We got tires used ones two out of four are flat
And finally found the money to get insurance and inspected..and blam the transmission is shot.
It shifts 123/ reverse that’s it no 4 th and overdrive. We are at our breaking point arguing about stupid stuff,stuck together on a farm with animals we can’t buy feed for and no way to get some food or even just a drive for a soda pop.
We live in a rv that needs to be redone we have roaches bad and mice.
Summer time we always take veggies from the Amish farms and donate them to the water gardens in Joplin,Mo.and the elderly people in Granby house.And know one knows
That we are down and out looks like we are at the last straw asking for money to help us.
Get out of this place we are stuck in.

my PayPal link thank you PayPal.me/twolonely

Look, I’ve retyped my paragraph like 50 times and nothing sounds right. I’m 16, I’m using my mom’s PayPal link. I’m asking for donations because I need to buy a part for our car, a brake booster (for a 2008 Dodge charger). The car gets my little sister to school everyday, and my older brothers to work (which is all the way across town, they’d be unable to walk). It’s 158.99$ plus a 29$ core. If I could get 100 of that I think I could make the rest on my own. We have no money, we live paycheck to paycheck barely getting by. My mom is disabled, she had cancer and a back surgery (which they messed up on, but by the time they realized it messed her up for life she couldn’t get a settlement because it had been too long). I’m just old enough to get a job but I can’t get one because they won’t give me my job permit. Please, help me. I know I’m not some kid dying or losing my home, but this past couple of years I’ve been through a lot. My dad died, one of my brothers pissed away the money he saved, we lost our home twice, my best friend had brain surgery. There’s been so much going on I just need one little break. Even if it’s just $5. I’m not begging for much, but I have no one to help. My grandmother won’t even bring my brothers to work, much less help us get this part. My life is chaos 24/7, it’s a struggle to do everything. We make barely 1600$ a month, and we have 8 people. Just please help me get this one thing. I’ll try my best to pay it forward as soon as I can. If you managed to make it through this jumble of text that I doubt even makes sense anymore, thank you, sincerely; even if you don’t donate.

Hello and thank you for clicking my post to hear my story. I am a navy veteran whose life hit rock bottom because of a string of bad luck and terrible circumstances over the past few years.  I have always kept a job since 13 years old, and not a slouch by any means, it’s just that life throws unexpected curves, and before I knew it, I had hit rock bottom with no resources or reliable support.  I am asking for donations so that I can move out of  beaufort , SC. There is no buses or trains here, I have no family or friends in the area , and I am stranded here because my car is broken down. Here is what happened to me:

after separating honorably from the military, I had Friends, a girlfriend who I thought loved me, and a good job plus attending school. the trick about life is that you never really know who is really for you until bad things happen. I was always a cheerful and happy person, ready to help others in need at the drop of a dime. fast forward a few years, my girlfriend was seeing other men behind my back while I was working nights so we broke up, most of my friendships were toxic or one-sided so I had to let them go, and my professional life took a turn because of budget cuts, leaving me unemployed, relying on security gigs, and odd jobs just to make ends meat. After secluding myself for almost a year because of my severe depression and anxiety, I tried again and went back to trade school in order to earn enough money to move away from the rural southeast and seek a better opportunity.

Being that I am a 34 year old disabled veteran diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorder with arthritis in my left shoulder + right knee, and 2 knee surgeries + one shoulder surgery while active duty, my physical disabilities prohibited me from a lot of positions in my area that I am certified for, Which was heating and air conditioning work. Due to the physical labor, lifting , and bending, my knees went out constantly and one day at work I was severely injured when a co-worker lost his grip and sent a 2 ton ac unit flying directly into my left hand, severing the tendon in my ring finger. After working for my company for an extra 2 months after my surgery in order to keep my job, I was still laid off  while not fully recovered. As a result of not being able to find work, my financial hardships started to grow again and  I ended up spending all of my savings on rent and bills just trying to keep my head above water.

I got another job as a cashier at Dollar general, but was wrongfully terminated because I stood up to being harassed by my immediate manager who was proudly racist and my case was swept under the rug by corporate. While still trying to fight for an appeal after a week, my older brother passes away from an unexpected heart attack, to which I immediately scrounged up any money i could to fly back to Chicago for his funeral.

After laying my brother to rest, I returned to South Carolina with no money but determined to find a way to fix my circumstances. My roommate, however,  moved away without warning  2 weeks after I returned because my only my name was on the lease, leaving me with the brunt of bills to pay alone. I have tried everything, but  I cannot afford to carry the full load of bills with my 500 dollar disability check from the VA. Adding insult to injury, the car that I currently own has broken down and I have no money to get it repaired. I’ve tried for a personal loans and was denied for lack of employment because. I’ve had to cancel all my VA appointments for physical therapy and mental health because of the inability to get to the clinic, and looking for work has come to almost a complete halt because of the lack of transportation.

I recently spoke with my mother about moving back to my home of record in Chicago, but without a car or money and no assets to sale, I am stranded in Beaufort, SC. The first of the month is rapidly approaching and I am in definite risk of being homeless soon. I have tried everything that I can think of to rectify my situation from odd jobs to unemployment offices to denied loans, but every day I sink deeper and deeper into depression because of the inability to turn around my circumstances. I have no family and no friends where I reside and if I could just move back home to Chicago, I would have a better support system so that I can regain my bearings. I have tried so hard to, but I cannot do this alone and I desperately need your help.With this help, I can get my car fixed, pay off any remaining rent or utility bills, and move back home. Please I’m begging you, I just need a chance to turn my life around by  changing my environment. I was approved for the Vocal Rehabilitation Program with the VA and can start school by the Spring of 2019 if I can get stable footing. I’ve run out of options and out of hope and this is my last chance to save my life. If there is any help you can give me, even if it’s just a point in the right direction, I would be forever grateful. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I need a new car for work and school and have no other transportation. It broke down on me. My Transmission is completely out. I’m already struggling to make my bills. if i could just save up 2000 for a down payment, it would make my life a whole lot better. I work two jobs trying to pay my bills. I was expecting it to last at least another year or two. I had no money saved up at all. I didn’t even know it was going out. If they could be anyways i could have been able to know, i would have tried to get it fixed sooner. I live about 30 minutes away from my job. i make about 9 an hour at 1 jobs and 2.25 at my second job. I’m trying to do better at life and get my life straight and go to college but with everything happening at once it seems like it is impossible. if someone out there would please help me get enough money to just get a new car or a used car at that. i would be happy. i want to be able to go to college so i can become a social worker and help kids out. and for that to be able to happen, i will need a car. My mom and dad aren’t able to help me out with the situation at hand or i would have never posted on this website. I’m the type of person who hates asking for money. I’m always the type of person to work hard for my money and things i get. I’m the type that will help someone out when they are in need. It is impossible to do that at the time though. I will have to ask people for rides and find my way back and forth to work till i can get a car. I will be having to probably ride a bus back and forth to work also. If anyone out there has even 20 dollars to put towards me getting a car, you will be grateful appreciated in my mind. I hate having to ask someone for money but to be able to go to work and school, i will need a car. and this would be my way to be able to have a car. My paypal information is https://www.paypal.me/kaylarogers1296. I would truly appreciate anything giving to me by anyone on this website.

Hi, my name is Arianna and I am 18 years old. I am a freshman year college nursing student. I am paying for college on my own. My parents do not assist me in paying for my tuition, books, or supplies. I work 30-40 hours a week to pay my bills and go to school full time. The only thing I do not pay is rent as I live at home with my mom, although all I truly am ever home for is to sleep, shower, and change my clothes. I received a lot of scholarship and grant money but I still had to take $5500 out for the year in loans. My car is falling apart and is my only mode of transportation. The brakes need work. I need new tires. The check engine light comes on and off regularly. The inside door handle is broken on the drivers side. The drivers side seat is stuck in its current position and the car is as old as me. I have put a decent amount into the car but I can not afford to have an unreliable car between my classes and working. I can not afford the insurance for a car with a car payment so I am saving up to buy a newer car in full but I do not know how long I have until my car dies out on me. I could really use the assistance to buy a new to me car so I do not end up stranded trying to get from point A to point B.  My goal is to buy a $5000 car with no more than 150K miles on it and no older than 2005. I have some money put away so far but far from enough. I can not work more hours than I already do and maintain the GPA necessary to maintain one of the scholarships I received which pays for a good deal of my tuition. I have been saving but at the rate I can afford to save it would take me more time than I have left with my car. I believe I will need a new car by March but I know I will not be able to get enough money saved in time to even come close to be able to buy a car that did not have all the issues I am having with my current car. I appreciate every donation in advanced and thank you !

My name is Amanda, and this has not been a stellar year for me so far.

Starting in December, I got into a car accident that totaled my beloved Honda Civic. (Roof was caved in and would have cost $8-10k to fix – car was worth $3k in perfect condition.) My dad was able to find a car to fix it up for me – that cost me $2,000 I didn’t have.

A month later, my health insurance changed, and I went from having to pay $0 a month, to $200 a month.

I switched to my work health insurance, to get a lower deductible (the first deductible was $2,250, now it’s $750) but it costs $60/paycheck, or $240 a month.

Got the new car, but the wrong sized tires were put on the car. One tire blew out on the highway and I had to get a whole new set – that cost me $500.

Then, I hit a HUGE FRIGGIN CANADIAN GOOSE – cracked the heck out of my windshield on the car I’d only had for a month and was still trying to pay off – that cost me $250.

Then, my dad said, “can your little brother live with you?” and then essentially gave up any responsibility for him, meaning I had to pay more for gas to drive him to and from school, pay for more groceries, etc. He started college in September. I had to shell out $400 for textbooks. He got his license. I have to shell out $250 extra for car insurance because he’s an 18-year-old male. He needs a cell phone – that added to my cell phone bill.

The AC in my car crapped out and I got a hole in one of my tires at the same time back in June – that cost me $600.

I wouldn’t usually ask strangers for money. But my dad won’t put any money towards paying me back for what I’ve helped my brother with. I have bills coming out the ying yang. I took out a personal loan to consolidate my credit card debt and more and more things kept coming up and the card is almost filled up again – on top of my huge loan payment I make every month.

Any little bit would help. I’m drowning.

Thank you in advance.

Car accident.

Crack windshield that needed to be fixed – the crack came all the way through from the outside to the inside.

 

Hi. My name is Jay and I’ll be upfront with you: I need money to help me with getting repairs for my car.
Last year, I started an non-profit organization and I drive throughout the city to help provide services like educational and occupational training to adults who otherwise wouldn’t have those chances because unfortunately, they closed the adult education center here. My car is literally my life line to the city, and having been down without it for the past couple of months has been creating a strain not just on me, but also on my family, and the people in the community at large. It’s hard to be a service provider when you have to keep trying to arrange a pickup or a drop off via a family member, friends, or paying for an Uber or a Lyft ride.
I had a friend of mine call the guy that she takes her car to, he gave my car a once over and said that it needs major engine work, and also a new exhaust system because the one on there now is old and starting to rust out. All in all, he said that the repairs would estimate to around $5,000 at a shop or more, because it’s all parts that would include actually repairing the engine intake and exhaust systems, and my knowledge of cars runs out at performing the basic tune-up, so I wouldn’t even begin to know how to break down an engine! I can’t even afford to have the car towed to a shop since I work off of donations from whatever folks can afford to pay, which normally isn’t a whole lot.
BUT…I need my car desperately, because without my car, I can’t do my job. If I can’t do my job, I fail myself and those folks who believe not just in me, but believe in the idea that people like us can change lives through compassion, and caring. I just need my car back, and I really need someone to help me get it repaired. I’d ask my mom, but she’s 73 and her SSI isn’t much. I can’t ask my siblings because all of them are going through their own situations-same as my friends. I don’t have the strongest credit, and I’m trying to rebuild it- so having a car that is out of commission has thrown a pretty big monkey wrench in the works. With my car running, we had two running cars at the house. Now we just have the one and I desperately am trying to get my car back working so that my mom isn’t doing a lot of driving- especially at night.
I believe in the work that I do, and I also believe in paying it forward, so if you can find it in your heart to help me get my car the repairs it needs, then not only will I be able to help provide services again, but I also won’t have to worry my mom about where I am or if I’ll make it home at night, or bug my family & friends about trying to get a ride.

To whoever is reading this;

Hi, I’m currently a 19 y/o full time community college student taking 15 credit hours and I am financially independent but currently in a spot of trouble.

Unfortunately in the past year and a half, I have been continually hit with misfortunes that have now left me looking at some serious trouble.

To begin I will start with my own health.. I have 4 wisdom teeth coming in, and they are all going completely sideways and eventually will impact, and with no insurance there is no way I can pay for the operation to have them removed. I am not sure how long I have until it becomes urgent for me to remove them but I would really like to remove them in the near future.

Financially I am seriously beginning to drown. My car which is my main means of transportation keeps having issues that have been costing me money since I bought it less than 2 years ago. I wish I had gotten something more reliable but at this point I have too much invested to even sell it. Today I discovered oil leaks on the ground and suspect it may be a rear main seal or a oil pan gasket failure. I have spent over 7000 dollars trying to keep this car running and it has now run me dry. I need it to get to work and school, I don’t know what else I can do about it. Furthermore, I pay for all my own expenses, I have car insurance coming up ($1100), as well as bike insurance. ($400) (I bought the bike to save on gas, it is not a supersport bike, it gets 66mpg and is much cheaper to insure than my car.) Unfortunately I managed to low-side the bike recently while commuting to school in the rain, and I have not had the funds to repair it since. (I had also dropped it earlier in the summer and that had cost me a pretty penny as well, got butter fingers I guess)
Here is a screenshot of the car repair spreadsheet I have been keeping up with since owning the vehicle (It is missing some items I have lost receipts for however):

Currently I am actually in debt, (less than 5 dollars in my checking account, with a credit balance due, and only 200 left on the line itself), quite the opposite of where I’d like to be since I know I will soon have to worry about covering the cost to transfer to a full-university to finish my degree. I don’t even go out or waste money on non-necessity’s, I simply end up losing all my money on bad luck. I go to school from 9-2, and work from 4-10 everyday. I don’t know what else to do because I simply don’t make enough and can’t find a second job without jeopardizing my grades.

I really wish I didn’t have to ask for money like this, I hate to be a burden to anyone. It would really mean the world to me if I could just get some help in my time of need though, I don’t even have family to turn to because of a whirlpool of issues there involving divorce, grudges, etc… I know that there are some very nice people out in the world, and I’d like to thank the kind person who is here right now for reading what I have to say.

If you’d like to help me out, I would apprecite it so soooooo much… paypal.me/zorikos

Thank you for taking the time to read my request. I never thought I’d be on the internet begging strangers for money, but here I am.

First, a little about me. I’m 25 years old and am in my 3rd year of teaching elementary school. I’m enrolled in grad school so that I can further my career in education. A year and a half ago I had absolutely no debt. I worked full time through undergrad and didn’t take out any loans.

Fast forward 3 years from graduation and I’m now swimming in debt. Mostly because my roommate bailed on the lease and I’m having to pay double the amount I planned for, and also because I made some stupid impulse purchases and travel plans.

The debt itself is not the issue, as I can buckle down and find a new apartment in order to pay that debt off in 2 years or so. The issue is that my 10 year old car is very quickly reaching the end of its life and I can’t afford to replace it AND pay off my debt.

So, I’m on here to ask for help. I’m looking to save up around 5-6k for a decent down payment on a used car. That way I won’t have to take out such a huge loan with a high interest rate.

I am REALLY trying to get back on track because I know racking up debt was stupid and I’m learning the hard way that it doesn’t just affect your credit score, it makes a lot of other things difficult as well.

If you made it this far, thank you. Any donations helps, even if it’s just prayers.

Hi my name is Josef and I recently got my car repossessed and have been trying to get it back for a while. I feel like they’re close to just auctioning it off so I’m in a bit of an insurmountable position.  My car is important to my personal life as well as my job due to minor traveling being apart of my position. I’m looking for 20k to cover everything, that’s about 15k to pay off the car and then the extra for impound fees. Any amount will help whether it be the full from one person or multiple doners. I thank you and hope can help. https://www.paypal.me/jamaaljosef

You ever work so hard and yet feel the money you make isn’t enough to get you where you want to be? Well that’s me! I work full time with a good company but I work extremely hard. I sweat everyday, all day,  when I’m at work. My hours vary week by week because I don’t have a permanent set schedule, so I don’t get proper sleep. Lately I’ve been traveling a lot for work, and I’m using my own vehicle. My vehicle is what I need help with because I’ve been putting so many miles on it this year it’s ridiculous. In one week, I can put over 1,400 miles on my personal vehicle and now it’s starting to overheat on me. It’s also making a weird vibration with a metallic like sound. I’m worried if my car breaks down, I won’t have the money to fix it to continue traveling for work. I don’t own my car yet but I’m about 11,000$ away from owing it. I want to keep my car, I don’t want to sell it. I plan on keeping it and eventually buy an old beat up truck for my short drives back and forth from work, when I do work locally. I’m 27 years old and have no college education. I still try to learn something new everyday. Anyway, I’m on here begging for money from anyone with extra to spare to help a young man out fix his car up. I know I need a water pump which isn’t expensive, which I can actually afford. I think I need a new radiator and fan, which for my car can cost up to 800$. Another problem I think I have with the car is a head gasket leak because I constantly need to refill my antifreeze coolant reservoir tank. Head gaskets themselves aren’t expensive but the labor cost for the time it requires to remove the heads is really expensive for me right now. I know I also need one engine mount. Which cost about 300$ for parts and installation. Thank you to whoever actually reads this and is able to donate whatever you can. Anything helps me at this time. I hope to win the lottery one day and be able to afford a brand new upgraded, more powerful motor, and all the supporting modifications it takes to handle the newfound power, and to fix my front bumper because I hit a armadillo one night and it broke the bottom of my front bumper and it would cost over 1000$ to fix it to look good again. Anyway thanks again for anyone who can help me reach these goals and to have a dependable long distance driver!

On August 12, 2018, While me and my Fiance were travelling home one night, a van came into our lane and swerved us off the road . We are blessed to be okay. The car I wrecked was a 2000 Lexus GS 400. It was totaled because the damage was more than the car was worth. When I bought the car at 16,( I am now 18, 2 yrs later) I purchased the car from my Boss for 500$. He was only selling it to me at that price  because he was aware of my situation with 2 alcoholic parents, and he knew i needed a way of transportation because I wanted to move out. However, because i was 16 when i purchased it, the car was put in my Mother’s name. When my car was totaled at an estimated 3,238$ , since the car was in her name, the check was also in her name. She is addicted to drugs,  and she refuses to let me see any of that money to provide me and my Fiance a car. She is aware that my car was the only mean of transportation to and from work for my fiance. 3,000 dollars isn’t much to by a car with anyways, but it definitely would help me pick one to finance on.  I just have really been put in a bind since this accident, especially since my Fiance has had a tough time working his construction job because of some back injuries as a result. We just dont have the money to get a car, not even an old one.

Our Dream:

We are a team of two 17-year-old high school students, hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. We have both been interested in cars, mainly taking them apart and modifying them, from very young ages. Now that we’re a bit older and have more freedom, we decided that we want to move away from working on our families’ and friends’ cars and open our own mechanic shop where we can customize and restore cars at our own will. We’ve tried this in the past, but the fact that we are in high school combined with the severe monetary limitations that come with that, have proven this to be a difficult task. Having the funding to open a shop of our own where we can give back to the communities that have given so much to us would be, though it sounds sappy, quite a dream come true.

 

Our Team:

W has been interested in cars from a very young age, though he never acted on those interests until recently when he realized that he wanted to turn mechanics and car modification into a career. He has experience with mechanics and hardware, as well as programming and computer science. Recently, he began pursuing his interests in cars by conducting extensive research and planning out several cars that he’d like to construct and modify in the future, as well as helping family members and friends repair their vehicles.

 

C has been raised in a family of hobbyist automotive engineers.  He has been building and playing with cars since before he could walk.  After years of working on contract as a mechanic in a few different shops, he decided it was time to build a company of his own.  He has extensive experience in automotive and electrical engineering, as well as years of behind-the-wheel track experience. He wants to build a company in which he can build and modify cars in his own vision, hopefully shaping or revolutionizing a part of the auto industry.

 

The Details:

Our shop will be located in W’s garage space and it’s accompanying patio area. We are asking for your generous donations so that we can afford the equipment that is necessary for extensive modification as well as a vehicle to start out with as our first project. Instead of merely repairing cars, we plan on purchasing cars that are broken down, repairing and modifying them, then selling them once we’re proud of their condition. We have decided that our first project will be a Mitsubishi Eclipse Convertible, a car which has parts readily available online and can also be found for reasonable prices online.

 

With your help, we can make this dream into reality. Your donations mean the world to us as we will not be able to realize our goals without your help.

 

Sincerely,

WH CW, HW Customs

So this semester, I was unable to travel back to Missouri where I was going to college at due to car issues… one problem after another, after another… the issues keep adding up and although I have a steady job, it’s just not enough. The current issue I’m trying to fix is breaks… that’s a big one. Obviously, while their are other issues, this one regards my safety and I would like to fix this issue first. Other related issues are bad sensors (causing the car to burn more gas than usual), issues with my NEW tires (maybe needs alignment), needs new catalytic converter…. the list goes on. I have other bills that I need to pay and I feel like I’m just getting more and more behind and I feel like the longer I wait, the more things that break. Usually I’d never ever ask for any help financially, but something has gotta give… in hoping there’s someone out there with a kind heart that’s willing to help and I’m hoping to give back and/or “pay it forward” once I finally get back on my feet. I’m hoping to return to a college campus (maybe not one as far away) as soon as I can get my car issues under control. Not only will fixing all of these issues help me out tremendously and take a weight off my shoulders, it would definitely help me get back on track to go back to school once I have a reliable vehicle once again. My family has done all that they can to help me and this is a last resort effort. I live in an area where “having more than one job” isn’t very practical. I live in the middle of nowhere, 40+ minutes away from any sort of other job aside from the one I have. I’ve tested out all of my options and this is my last resort. I’m hoping there’s somewhere out there with a good heart. Every little bit of money would help.   Thanks!

I am in need of car to get to and from work to keep my job. I have lived a life that has taken my savings from me. I have a daughter that got hooked on drugs. As a parent I did everything I could to save her from that world she was in. It has financially token a tool on me. I have been using a friends car to get to and from work they need there car back.   I have not got the chance to save money all money went towards help for my daughter. I live paycheck to paycheck. I would like to keep my job to rebuild myself back up. But with out having transportation I won’t be able to.  Fighting the drug world is very hard and stressful on your life. You will do anything to try to say your child. And from me trying it has left me living check to check. She finally is getting the help she needs. It’s been a long 4 years. Over the 4 years trying to help her and keeping up with credit cards I had to chose as any parent they would chose there child. Now that she had gotten help I reach out to GreenPath and they worked a plan with me to help get my debit paid off. So as of this time due to credit I just can’t go get a loan.  I am trying very hard to rebuild my credit and savings and I know it’s not going to happen over night but I also know that if I don’t have a job I can’t pay my debits or rebuild my savings. Anything will help towards getting a car and would be appreciate.  paypal.me/zam200

Hello, my name is Brandon & recently I feel on hard times & lost my job about 4 1/5 months ago, as the company I worked for decided to have layoffs. Unfourtantly my reconciliation department was affected by this & along with a few of my peers we were let go after 5 years of service to the company. Over the past few months, I have been chasing leads & things look on the up & up as I recently was hired by UHG. Having faith in god & trusting his process has helped me & my wife maintain, & stay afloat these last couple months. I start my new job this month on the 17th (super excited) to get back in the workforce. I’m here as a last resort to help me keep my car until I am fully able to catch up. I’m unsure of this website legitimacy, but I feel like God lead me this way in my most desperate moment for a reason. So i will continue to have faith. I know its a long shot but hey hopefully its worth it. My Beautiful wife (of 3 years, 8 years together) & I share a dodge challenger, as a door greeter at Walmart my wife salary cant cover the note & pay rent. so, of course, we decided to pay the rent. but losing my car would be a major setback when all I’m trying to do is to get ahead for my growing family. Growing up I was taught you work hard & never complain cause life isn’t fair if you got lemons to make lemonade. I believe in working for everything you get.

In Ephesians 4:48 it says “Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need” I’d rather lose it all then to embarrass, my wife, mother, father or my son by doing anything illegal so I really hope someone out there can help me reach my goal 622 to pay my car note & hopefully once I start this new job on the 17th, things will start looking up for Me & Little Family. I have high aspirations in life, just an unlucky guy who fell on hard times. From my mouth to God’s ears, I really Hope this is worth it.

with love Brandon

I am sure you hear all kinds of pleas but please hear me out.

Life is not fair and I understand that but starting 10 years ago when I was the victim of domestic violence my life has spiraled to below the bottom of the barrel. At the time it happened my now ex-husband and I were living in a house owned by his mother. After it happened she asked me to move out because the only other option was him at her house. Being too low on self esteem and high in respect I did so, and having no means of support bad choices involving manipulative unsavory people kept me going down.

I live in a friend’s storage on his property. I struggled for a couple years just to afford a laptop to make some money on line. I am fortunate to receive $250 a month in back child support and I do not get any government aid or food stamps. I have no vehicle, no way to get back and forth to a job and there is no public transportation here. I live several miles from town in a rural community.

I am extremely motivated. I am 52 and alone except for my friend and his girlfriend who are kind enough to let me stay here free but that is the most they can do. My ex paying the back child support is 20 years my senior so any month that income could abruptly end without warning so I need to do something ASAP.

Someone gave me a car that has been sitting  for a few years after it was in an accident. Someone did the body work to it to make it functional again. What I need is about $1000 to replace the fluids (gas, oil, brake, transmission, etc), the belts and tires (which have dry rotted the years it sat) to get a battery and get the car registered and insured. Hopefully that would also leave some gas money so I can find a job and be able to get back and forth to work.

Living in this storage has helped me work out my issues stemming from years of abuse and neglect as a child. I learned that I don’t deserve to be abused and should not put up with it. I want the next relationship I am in to be out of want and not need. This time here has been good for me in many ways but I am ready to move on.

Please help me to help myself.

Hello,

Please read.

I am in dire need of help. My car needs $2600 worth of repair and I cannot afford it at all. I’m still paying on this car and can’t even afford the note this month. The past 5 months have been the worse of my life and if it wasn’t for my kids I’m not sure what I would do. They are definitely what’s keeping me here. I now realize that I am seriously suffering from depression and no matter how hard I pray or try to move forward something always happens. I was previously living in NC, working and paying my bills until my daughter ran away (ran away with a “bad boy”). My daughter is 16 (turning 17 Friday) and my second child is 8. My daughter would help with my younger child after school until I got off of work. Well when my daughter ran away not only was I dealing with trying to locate her but I had no one to help with my son. I was having to leave work early and take days off. My job was understanding at first. The first time my daughter was gone for 8 days and found by police with the boy. I thought everything was fine and 4 days later she ran away again, this time for a month. Again she was found by police with the boy. In May because I missed so many days of work going to the police station and juvenile court I was terminated. Realizing I needed help with my teen, I decided to move to Delaware and send my daughter with her father’s family in NJ. I drove my daughter to NJ (so she wouldn’t be able to run away again) and went back to NC to finish packing and move. I had my final paycheck and unemployment to move. I started looking for jobs before I left NC so that I can have something in place. I actually had an interview set up for the day after I got to Delaware. I had to rent a truck and tow dolly on my credit card because I couldn’t afford cash. I maxed my credit card but I had to do it. The entire time my teen was in NJ and I was in NC we were in contact and she seemed to be okay and understood why I did what I did. When I arrived in Delaware it was late and couldn’t move in my apartment until the next day. That night I received a call from my daughter’s family stating she wasn’t in the house. My daughter once again ran away from NJ. I later found out that this same “bad boy” drove to NJ and got her as I was driving to Delaware to try to start over. I was so distraught and didn’t even know where to begin.

The next day I had to drive to NJ to file a report however when I drove my car off of the tow dolly there was a loud scraping noise, the abs light was on and my back wheels were unstable. This led to me not being able to drive my car so I couldn’t get to Jersey and I still had to move in my apt. Fast forward I wasn’t sure what happened so I filed a claim with Uhaul. My vehicle has been sitting at the Nissan dealership since July 9th, 2018 with $2600 worth of damage. They are not sure what happened to my car but think it’s because it should’ve been in neutral. However, when the employee hooked my car up they told me to put it in park. I had no clue that was wrong. Fast forward I have no transportation, had to cancel my interview and haven’t been able to find work because nothing is close enough or on bus route. The insurance company for Uhaul just let me know August 2nd that my claim was denied because they are not liable. My insurance won’t cover it because it wasn’t comp or collision. Nissan is giving me to Friday to approve them to fix it or I have to move it from there lot and pay the $90 assessment fee. I don’t have anything. Nothing at all! I really need my car. If anyone can help, please help me. I can pay you back with my taxes, I know that months away but that’s the only time I’ll have any extra money. I understand there’s a lot of people going through a lot but I just thought I’d try. Any help or resources is greatly appreciated. If anything, thank you for reading!

Last week, the transmission in my car went out… While it was parked I cancelled the insurance, so I could put the money toward repairs, as they weren’t covered under my liability insurance.

A few short days later, someone skipped the curb at our apartment complex and slammed into my front end, bending the front left axle, before tearing away into the night. No cameras at our small complex, and no witnesses as it was extremely late/early.

My credit isn’t terrible (650) but I haven’t done much to build it, having struck out on my own as the recession hit and being paranoid about credit in general. Because of this, I’m unable to secure a loan. And even with a cosigner, that I can’t find, the terms are too steep for what I require and I’d be destitute before I could raise the money, being without a car.

I also work at a sod farm that doesn’t do Direct Deposit, so it disqualifies me from most online “desperation” options, which I HAVE pursued.

After consulting with body shops, the total came out to about $5400 with the transmission and collision damage. I rounded the total down, as I’d feel bad not paying at least something and $400 is no small number for me.

For $2000, I could simply buy a halfway decent vehicle and use that as I work toward repairing the other vehicle. So this is an option, as well.

I appreciate your consideration. For perspective, I came up rough and I’ve been grinding for the past 12 years to keep from spiraling back into that life. Before this, things were looking pretty great. I’m real proud of myself for that, and my biggest anxiety is my life falling to ruin over this. Uber’ing and lyft’ing to my job isn’t an option, as it would eat up half my pay to get there and back.

I have a few rescue animals that I would hate to have to relocate and genuinely nowhere to go but to a shelter should my income drop any more.

I really have exhausted all other options, and would appreciate the help. Thank you.

My kids and I want to say thank you for taking the time to read about our situation and are humble to seek this help.

My name is Sonya and I have 3 amazing kids by a marriage that did not work out.  State Laws do not give step-parents any rights for support or care of kids in a divorce.  My kids choose to stay with me most of the time.  I am a 20-year retired Navy Veteran who just can’t say no to kids or “we” can’t do something.  My son Junior is 10, sister Serenity is turning 9 and our babygirl turns 3 Aug 13.  I do not believe in spoiling kids and am a stern driver for discipline!

My request to seek help comes from getting an oil change recently and learned my 2007 suv needs a new exhaust manifold gasket, a valve stem replaced on a leaky tire, and warn fan belts replaced. I am also moving into our own place, instead of my parents basement, so the kids can have their own room and not have to when they see me.  I acquired over $10,000 in debt from the wedding/marriage and cannot seem to get ahead with my only vehicle repairs and couldn’t afford my own place at time of divorce.

I do work at a local cafe owned by my mom’s friends, however they are a month behind on paying me because they are expanding their bar.  No excuse and probably illegal I know, but it is a “they help me I help them situation.”

As a financial advisor in the military I could steer Sailors and Marines out of debt all day, but as for myself i seem to be starting to sink for the first in my life.  I only pray I am not the bad lesson my children have to learn from about living at our means and not our wants.  Regardless of the success with this website or yourself reading this, I know together we will survive.

 

Hi there…

Gosh, I don’t even know where to start. I didn’t think I would be writing something like this today, or rather, ever.

I’m a twenty-year-old self-taught computer programmer in college.

This is going to sound like a sob story for a hot minute, but please know, that isn’t my intention.

July started off like any other month for me, I’m sure for everyone. I wish it would have stayed that way… My mental health bills and medication are outrageously expensive especially without insurance because for some reason its impossible to find reasonable insurance. My job was primarily to settle that problem.  It allowed me to pay for my medication and get a few groceries every month- but that was about it.

I knew about an ongoing issue with my car, it was running out of oil so fast all the darn time, without any sort of leak. My dad says it was due to being an older car. (2006 ford explorer) But never did I expect it to just explode one day. It always warned me before, the light would come on, and I put oil in it. Every few months I had a full oil change. This time, it happened so fast I didn’t even get a light. Within 2 weeks of putting oil in it last, the motor took a dump– while I was going 75mph on the highway on my way home from work– that was fun…

Everyone was fine- considering I was the only one in the car- I managed to get it off the road and out of the way. My family “car doctors” took a look, and over the next week, we tried every method possible to revive the poor girl. It didn’t work.

Within a week, I was working out a ride to work the next day when my manager called to inform me she had transferred my contract to someone else. I knew my meeting was scheduled to be renewed in October, but for some reason, she pushed it forward because some other worker needed a transfer from somewhere else in Florida, and-
Never mind that, that is a long story. Essentially, there was nowhere for me to transfer so I was terminated, along with my work partner.

If it wasn’t for that moment, I would not be here writing this today. I would be working and putting all of my earnings towards the car.

But now I don’t have a job, I’m stuck with availability due to schooling, without a car.

Alright- step one. Get a job.
nope- wait, can’t do that without a car.

Step 1. Get a car.
nope- no way- that’s too expensive, plus I completely own this car and it cost way more than it would for a new engine.

Alright! Step 1! Get a new motor.

The best price the “car people” in my family could pull up is a $1,475 motor being sold.

I have been applying for job after job, 15 or 16 a day. (On the massive job finding sites)
As well as at the actual companies and main company websites. (such as Walmart, Publix, etc.)

I have heard little back, and its honestly degrading.  I’m running out of time, seriously. My emergency medicine money for my mental health is on its last use (unfortunately its medication that cannot be stopped suddently, or else I strongly considered just going without)

My family cannot provide assistance more than support and a day to borrow a car here and there. We all have financial stuff going on, I don’t hold it to them. I don’t hold it to anyone, actually.

One thing I would like to stress is, I’m fine. Somehow with all of this, I am managing to keep my head on straight.
That being said, I need help this time. I have been pulling all-nighters searching for a job, talking to people about options, coding programs to try and sell, anything I could think of.

The only thing I could possibly ask for is help with the motor. Just the motor.
My brother has offered to do the labor, and as for the spark plugs and belts I’ll probably need- that’s my problem.

The funds i may receive from this would ONLY be used towards the motor.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, thank you for even making it this far.
Anything would help, truly, anything…

Hello everyone. My name is Pam Neronha and I am a former whistleblower in the drinking water treatment field. This happened to me a decade ago in 2007 when we experienced the economic downturn, and I was approaching my 50^th birthday. I was highly successful in my career, but when I spoke up regarding the public health and safety of three cities’ drinking water we were providing, my career turned a corner. I won my case against my former employer but was never hired again by a public agency. I went back to school to earn an MPA, and even this could not get me a job in either the public or private sector.

So, in 2015 I decided it was time to start my own company to try and help the public understand where their drinking water comes from and how they can better control what flows out of their tap and into their showers. I also wanted to protect the public from events that may happen at their public utility without them being aware, utilizing new technology.

I won a full scholarship to an MBA program. I will now be completing my final semesters this fall and in 2019. I founded the company on August 10, 2016. It is called Pluvion, Inc. I have been struggling to get traction for the company, to support myself and to get funding to build and launch the first prototypes. I moved the company from San Francisco to the City of Mount Shasta, California to afford rent. With another catastrophic year of wildfires burning here in our state, my technology is needed more than ever. I am committed to the company and have put at least a third of my savings every year into its maintenance, while living on $21,000 a year in California. I am very close to launching the two websites and obtaining the data from consumers.

Here is how you can help me. I need $825 to pay for an air fuel ratio sensor for my 2007 Toyota Prius which now has 239,000 miles on it. I am looking for help to pay for this expense and keep my car on the road. I lived in this car in the Bay Area while starting the company prior to moving to Mount Shasta. I was not able to attach an image of the bill from Toyota since the image size and type is not supported on this site. I can provide a copy of the estimate for the part at your request. This car repair is only one of the three hurdles (the other two hurdles are dental work and books/lodging expenses for school), I need to cross before launching. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hello,

I don’t even know where to start. This is the 1st time I have ever really put myself out there for help. I live in Charleston, SC. Over the past 3 weeks it has rained everyday non-stop & the humidity generally around 82%-99%. As you can imagine this is hard on the AC Units. 2 Weeks ago my 2004 vehicle AC when out. I can handle the heat but the humidity is another struggle. In addition, my mother is on oxygen & lives with me. I ABSOLUTELY could not have her out & about with no AC.  So I took it to my local pep boys who quickly identified that the electrical problem. No power was getting to the switch for the AC. They advised that they are unable to fix it & would have to take it to the dealer.

So I called the dealer. The dealer advised that the diagnostics alone was $150. Yes, that’s right $150 just to determine what the problem was. What’s a girl to do. Pay it. So they told me that to fix the electrical would be $550. I asked if that would fix the AC. The mechanic advised that it should.

Surprise!!!!! It didn’t :(. So they further inspected it & discovered that a part of the blower has malfunctioned. So yup, that’s right. It needs to be replaced. The part literally costs $67 but the labor is the kicker. $484 later I have AC.

 

Well this Sunday comes & I walk into the garage & see a puddle of water on the ground. My heart drops. I shimmy up into the attic to look at the AC unit. Water is soaking through the insulation. Great! The AC is blowing warm air as well. This had to be fixed immediately. My mother on oxygen can’t handle this. So yup emergency, weekend call! Damage $1100.

It’s the 1st of the month & you guessed it. Mortgage of $ 875 is due. What’s a girl to do? Ask strangers for help. I have spent over $3000 in 2 weeks that I don’t have. Any amount is a blessing.  Thank you for your time.

Hello! My son just started at a community college, which is about an hour’s drive from home. He is finishing up his first summer semester and doing spectacular. Unfortunately, our car broke down this summer. It’s not a new or fancy car. It’s 12 years old, but in decent shape. However, wear and tear has worn the poor thing down. It started to overheat when idling or driving through traffic, which is even worse in crazy, hot summer weather. I wanted them to check the brakes, too, since they seemed a bit spongy at times and I wanted to make sure he would be safe driving. Unfortunately, it turns out that the old dear needs new brakes, an engine fan, and a new motor for the window (it got stuck down and then the window motor died). It will cost $755.53 to fix. I have attached a photo of the estimate.

We are a family of 6 with very low income. We have two little ones still, ages 5 and 6, and another son who is 16. My husband just finished his bachelor’s degree in December and is finishing up a few necessary classes before he heads into the medical field. We live in a very small town, with no organizations that can help us. We have a very tight budget that leaves no room for extra expenses. I pick up as many spare jobs as I can, in combination with our normal income and we still barely scrape by. I want my son to be able to focus on his education and not to worry about how he is going to get back and forth. There are enough things to worry about when we grow up and start having to do the whole adult thing, without having to stress over cars and repairs while still in school. It is difficult to find the money to help him out with gas, books, and other necessities, let alone pay for major repairs. We just fixed the brakes on our 15-year-old truck last month, so our saved funds are already depleted. One the pains of owning older vehicles, I know, but they have been good to us for many years.

If you can donate anything towards helping fix the car so he can continue with his education and not have to stress over the money, we would be super excited and eternally grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it!

Last year I purchased a 99 dodge dakota from a family member, I made the mistake of assuming the truck was in decent condition. Shortly after coming into possession of the truck I learned it was missing the fuel filler neck, which I intended to replace asap, but then my headlights went out and that became priority.

Shortly after the headlights , the brakes started acting up, going out randomly , losing pressure. Which turned out to be a brake line coming loose, then 2 tires went flat, then the brakes straight went out, all of them, the pads the master cylinder the rotors, the lines. Oh and I forgot to mention that I bought it with a missing blinker too, and rusted out fenders. At first I thought I was getting a good deal and helping someone out at the same time, now I realize I bought a massive work in progress that I cant afford, because I bought it so I could get to work and possibly make some extra cash helping friends or using it to haul scrap metal.

The engine and transmission and all electrical work great, but I cant seem to ever afford fixing it after what little money I earn goes to my bills and necessitys. If anyone can sympathize and is in a place to help, id be much obliged and forever grateful. I dont expect much help in general , but thought it was worth a shot and wouldn’t hurt to try. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I am looking for help funding a safer vehicle for my 7 year old daughter and myself. I have a 1986 Jeep Wagoneer that will be the death of us if I can’t find a new car soon. I have found a vehicle that is safer, has low miles, and is only $4,000.00.

My Jeep has no exhaust system,  large holes in the floor board, and no shoulder strap seat belts in the back seat. Recently, my daughter and I ended up with carbon monoxide poisoning after I had to drive for 2.5 hours running errands.

The lack of proper seat belts in the back seat are hindering us from being able to upgrade my daughter’s car seat to follow the laws and standards. She should be using a booster seat that uses a shoulder strap seat belt. But currently she has to continue using a 5 point harness car seat that uses a lap belt to hold it in place.

My daughter was recently ill for almost two weeks, and we had multiple ER and doctor visits. This has made us strapped for cash. We are a single income family, and raising the whole $4,000 is impossible. I’ve put my Jeep up for sale, and I’m hoping to raise at least $2,000. So all I’m asking to fund is another $2,000 so I can purchase a 1992 Chevy Silverado extended cab pick up truck with low mileage, brand new tires, and a new exhaust system.

Thank you for your consideration, and any help we are so grateful for.

Hi.. as of may 2006 my life changed. My body split. I couldn’t feel my upper body extremities. My arms were moving fast but I couldn’t control them. My head was moving fast back & fourth. I couldn’t look into anyone’s eye with focus. Just couldn’t control anything dealing with my upper body. Yes. It’s was hard to even explain what was happening to me. I carried this problem for almost 10 years. The doctors claim I had to be in pain also. I told them I didn’t realize it was pain. It had began common. I actually thought it was normal, what I was feeling. So I dealt with it. It seemed like every doctor I had went to see. Made it like it was just in my mind. Either that or they looked at me like a crack head. I couldn’t control my upper extremities from shaking. Sometimes I didn’t realize I was shacking. Ppl started to tell me I was shacking apart. Finally  I found a doctor who ran test still not finding anything wrong. Didn’t give up on me. They did a extreme 2 hour body exray/MRI/ ink test & found out my neck was broke. My neck was hanging on by a thin bone. My family & collapsed. How is this possible. Every one (doctors) I send from Nebraska to KC MO and no one find it. I was told that it was so bad. That if I fall wrong I would of been paralyzed from the neck down. Every time I think about the doctors who called me crazy or a crack head. Left me for dead. No one believed me, no one. Anyway I’m a walking talking  mircale. Thank God for my family. & The doctor who stilled by me. I receive disability, it help to pay rent, electric, & phone. I’m not on housing. I try to do my best for myself. I have two therapy animals. Ones a corgi his been with me for almost 10 years, such a loving dog. I have a cat just turnt 2 years old. Love them both. But money is low. I’m looking for help to fix my car. I pay $120 for it. I can’t afford car payment at all. So I bought it out right. It needs some work. I thought I I could have it done 3 years ago. But it sit. I’m hoping someone could help. It needs a battery, spark plug wires 6 plugs , 6 fuel injectors. & Now 4 tires. Anyway. I don’t own anything. But what I do have I make sure to keep clean. My mom is 76 years old. I would like to be able to get around to help her as much as I can. And to be able to drive to see and help her would be awesome for us both. Anything anyone could help with or donate would be truly appreciated. Thank u for reading my story.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I want to say first of all, this is not because I want to, but I need to ask for help with past due rent and desperately needing to get 2 cars fixed. I was brought up the old school way, where you do whatever you have to do to make it and have what you need, which is a trait that I picked up from both of my parents.

 

The reason is because my wife is having to take care of her sick brother who is in hospice with chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure. Because of that, as my wife has taken over as legal guardian over her brother, she has had to quit her job to take care of him, and in turn, I have had to cut back hours from my job in order to help her and with everything around the house. My wife and myself had a significant amount in savings that we had been building up, as we had built up a year of money in the savings account, but with my wife now not working, and with me having to cut back my own hours with responsibilities at home, we have been using the savings and checking accounts to pay bills with the weekly pay check bringing in little to nothing more to help. We are diligent in budgeting, but the budget has only gone so far when everything keeps piling up. Before this happened, we found ways to cut over $300 in our monthly payments, which helped add to the savings. Now, not only is my wife upset and stressed because of her brother’s health, now we have the financial situation pilling on top of that.

 

When my wife and I were working full time together, we were always on time paying bills before she had to take care of her brother. Now, months after depleting our savings and checking by paying bills first and getting gas and groceries for the house with only one income coming in, we have got behind on our rent and other bills. With my wife having to drive back and forth to see her brother every day to help take care of him because she is his legal guardian, her car is past due for breaks and tires, as well as a standard oil change. I use my car to drive back and forth to work everyday, and it needs tie rods, and wheel bearings, as well as new tires. The cheapest quote that we could find for having these repairs is around $1,500 for both cars. We are already one month behind on rent, which is $800 a month, with another month due soon.

 

If anyone on here knows all too well, once you get behind, it is difficult to catch up, especially trying to catch up on one income. I have done some side work for people when I have had the chance, like cutting grass and whatever odd and end jobs anyone needs for extra money, but it’s been really difficult in finding the time to even try and do that. Not only am I looking for help to get ourselves out of a bind, I am looking help with how to get out of the financial situation that we find ourselves in. My wife and I talked, and we want to do something together that can bring in a good amount of income. We want our money to work for us, and not have to work for money. I say that to say that my wife and I, we are not freeloaders, and we are not people that just want money for free, and we do not think we are entitled to anything. We are here just to ask for help in getting out of this pit that we found ourselves in, and the help in not letting this happen to us again, where we will be able to help others that are in need due to no fault of their own. We now understand, that life happens to everyone, and everyone needs a helping hand from time to time until they can figure out how to thrive and teach others. Do we need help right now, yes, but we don’t want to be dependent on others, we want to know how to fish so we can make our own meals, and feed others in the process. Thank you so much for your time.

Hello, I’m a 20 year old college student just paying off debt while still  trying to sustain my everyday life cost. When not in school I live in a smaller town with scarce job opportunities. I know a car will open me up to so many more job opportunities and possibilities here in my town and even when I’m off at school. Not only will it help me get to jobs but I’ll finally be able to get around on my own in general. It’s been really frustrating relying on people, public transportation, Uber’s, + etc. just to get around everywhere and even more frustrating working  a minimum wage job trying to save for a car, but unable to currently because everything just goes to school and things I literally need to sustain myself like food. My mother has her own debt right now so it kills me inside everytime I need to lean on her for money knowing that she’s already sacrificing so much for me and I’m sick of it. I don’t need anything fancy AT ALL! So I’m asking for $2,000 just for a decent and reliable car because that’s all I need. I feel as though that would greatly  benefit me more long term rather than just asking for my tuition money. Thank you guys so much and I appreciate you if you even took the time to read this.

Peace and Love. <3

I’m asking for a donation, so I can get back on track. I work hard and live check to check. I’m never able to pay bills off at once so things tend to get backed up, because I’m only able to pay the minimum to get by. Problems continue to just rise and its one thing after another. My car is on its last limb, there’s a leak in my gas tank so I have to drive everyday smelling fumes from the gas, also my breaks are going out and my tires are bad, and the starter. That alone is $600 just to get my car back in good condition. Secondly me and my son has needed dental work that has been pushed off because it is just to expensive and not many places offer payment plans. The dental treatment alone is about another $1000, it makes me feel horrible as a mother knowing my son is in pain but not able to pay to get his teeth fixed. With everything so backed up I cant even afford to by food or put gas in the car to get back and forth to work. I know if I could receive a donations I would be able to get things taken care of bills paid and my son taken care off. I’m a hardworking good person just in need of a little help so I can continue building a stable foundation for my kids. I do hope someone is able to assist anything will help. I’m able to provide any documentation for the expenses I need help with, thank you!!

Hello, my name is Heather and I’m a mother of two and the wife of a hard working man in the trucking industry. My husband, bless him, purchased me my first car that had a air conditioner and was super new to me two years ago! I had never had such a wonderful vehicle in my life, I’ve always bought drive it until its scrap cars. I really love my car and I am really grateful to have it. In September of 2017 the check engine light came on and I have not been able to put together the money to get it completely fixed or legal since, but I keep it insured. I cleaned out our meager 401k to get one part replaced and drive it back home so that my husband could get to back and forth to work.

The nearest dealership to me is a four hour drive, I live in the Midland/Odessa part of Texas and there are no shops here that will work on a Mini Cooper, even BMW said they’ll get in trouble if they scan the fob for errors. I have to take it to Arlington to get it worked on.

I’m looking to get help in one of two ways. If I can get the car paid down to 8,100$ I will no longer be upside down on the vehicle and I can refinance for a much better rate and be able to save money much more efficiently. Or if anyone would be willing to help pay for the repairs it needs outright that would be a blessing to my family. This is the only vehicle we have and is very important to our daily life. I do not like driving around illegally, but I have to do what I have to do for my family. Thank you very much for reading!

Hello! My name is Terrance Jones-Daniels, but I go by TJ. Since November of last year I’ve been out of work due to mental health issues and just trying to figure out who I am. As of October of 2017, I’ve been a trans guy, and working towards making sure that I can live my best life. Unfortunately, my mom left the area we were living in in November of 2017, and I was laid off from my job shortly afterwards, due to 4 mental health hospitalizations. I’ve been struggling with depression for a while, and have been in an out of hospitals since June of 2017. I’m currently working on getting my life back on track, but, unfortunately, it hasn’t been easy. After my mom left I lived by myself, and then with a previous significant other, and when we broke up I relocated to El Paso with my dad. He’s been pressuring me since I arrived here to get a job, and get in school, and get my own place, and I’ve been trying. Unfortunately, my phone has been shut off, my car is in danger of being repossessed, and I can’t drive my car long distances due to my rim being cracked. My dad isn’t able to take me to interviews, because he goes to school from 8-5, Monday through Friday, and he won’t let me drive his car, unfortunately. I’m just at a hard point in my life, where I feel like no matter how hard I try, nothing is truly working to benefit me, but, I refuse to give up. To have my phone turned back on, I owe $400-I’m a couple of months behind on my bill, the cost to replace the rim is $200 and my car payment is $350.Please help out if you can, and thank you.

Hi I’m Chelsea. Last year my 2007 mini cooper’s engine blew. I have spent the last year trying different avenues on getting it repaired. Nothing is leading to an answer. I have received 2 different quotes on getting it fixed. BMW wanted $13,000 and another auto place wanted $5,000. I tried talking to different technical auto schools to see if they would work with me, I had no responses. I’ve been driving my fathers 2003 Ford Focus but with my luck, it needs $1,500 in repairs and is unsafe to drive due to the tires. I’m going to school for nursing, and luckily I’ve been able to take online classes for my prerequisites. In January, I’m hoping to be accepted to a program. I will need a reliable vehicle to get me to school and work. I currently work full time in an ER as a CNA and have considered getting a second job to help with the cost of the car. Not having a car has made this very difficult to do and the hospital will not allow overtime at this time. I’m only asking for $5,000. I’m upside down on the car currently and owe more than it is worth. I have reached out to my bank about getting a loan, but with no collateral that is a no go. My paychecks cover bills and I live paycheck to paycheck like most college students. Anything will help, I’m a little desperate.

It’s 2018, im in school for something I love, I bought myself a nice used truck (2004 explorer) life couldn’t be any better. I was on cloud nine. I guess I was having too good of a time with my life because the universe hit me upside the head.

While working a seasonal job at the outlet mall early February I got a call from the mall security that a delivery driver backed into my truck and ruined my rear bumper. They couldn’t (or maybe wouldn’t) tell me who the driver was, or for what store because the mall had no cameras.

“I can fix this” I said to myself, and so I did. With white tape. 😥 I didn’t want to call my insurance amd have my rates go up. I also didn’t want to worry my parents, so tape did tje job. An ugly job, but tje bumper wasn’t going anywhere.😂

I’m a server, so my hours (can be wonky.)

It’s May! The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, people are drinking and enjoying their life, I forgot all about my car and the tape holding it up. I couldn’t be knocked sown from my cloud…or so i thought.

Come mid May, it’s Friday night and I’m at work, I close up at around 3am Saturday morning. I get home tired and realize the only parking available is on the side street, about four houses down. No big deal. I’ve parked further before.  I’m getting ready for bed, so close to laying my head down, so SO very close when I hear a crash and a screech. I got nosy and decided to investigate the sound. I stick my head out the closest window, a car speeds by blowing the stop sign in front of my house. “He probably has to poop” I think to myself as I chuckle. Out of the corner of my eye I see my car in the middle of the street!! I go and investigate, someone hit my baby and ran. 😭😭 I called the police but all they could do was take a statement. They towed my car, cost me $250.

The truck needed a new transmission, and the front axle replaced, great.

The same day, at around noon I call my insurance and explain everything. The woman on the other line informs me in a very quiet voice that the insurance wasn’t going to cover much. Maybe $200, and my rates were going to to up..What!! I’m in a pickle now. I thank her for her honesty and hang up. Now Broken hearted and without a car.

I’ve been relying on people for rides, but that never ends well. I’m going to be forced to take a semester off of school in order to pay for the damages.

If you’re reading this and you can help me, please please do. I’ll love you forever. ❤❤❤

I’m $2,000 in the gutter. 😥
