Hello, I am a 47 year old widow. I am also on disability which is a fixed income. Since my husband’s passing I have no one to do the upkeep on my car. It needs struts, shocks, a new fuse box and many other parts to pass inspection. My car quits running because of the fuse box and I get stranded, needing to call for help. I also take care of my mother, who has had multiple strokes. She also is on a fixed income. I’d like to raise enough money to fix my car but would love to buy a nice used car to get us around safely. Whichever you find in your heart. Thank you for reading and God bless you!

 (Posted 8/25/2024) I am submitting this request to assist me in the repairs to my vehicle – a 2007 Volkswagen Passant wagon. This vehicle recently stopped running a week and half ago when the alternator quit on it. I had previously replaced the starter at a cost of $600, only to be faced with replacing the alternator which had previously been diagnosed as operative.

My vehicle has a bigger problem that is causing my need for financial help (which may have caused the demise of the starter and alternator – there appears to be a serious problem in the vehicle’s electrical system that is destroying other parts in the car and causing to batteries be completely drained every 3 weeks.

I have found a mechanic who can fix the electrical problem.

The repair of this vehicle’s electrical problem is the basis for my submission of this request because this repair cost will exceed the funds that I have available to me, and I am in desperate need of transportation.

I purchased this vehicle May 28th, 2021 from a Toyota dealership in San Louis Obispo, California. Over the last three years, I have replaced at least 4 batteries. In addition, I would exhaust my AAA roadside assistance within 3 months after I renewed my membership each year. My financial hole dug deeper and deeper every month as I was constantly stranded getting jump starts, buying new batteries every 1-6 months, and seeking out different mechanics to diagnose the ultimate cause of what started out as an unknown problem.

I invested my own funds for batteries and diagnosis of the problem.

I am a writer and author and have been working on a major publication which will be ready for publication in September 2024, and have exhausted funds that I need to market my new book.

These monthly interruptions have also seriously affected my ability to earn a living and the quality of my life. Imagine being stranded every month never knowing when or where I will be stranded, and then resolving my problems with different mechanics, friends to get jumps, borrowing money – only to repeat the same pattern every month – sometimes every week. In some instances, this problem would occur the next time I stopped the vehicle!

I should mention at this point that I am 76 years old and was 73 when I purchased this car. I also need transportation to visit doctors and purchase my required medication.

Initially I called the Toyota dealer who sold me this used vehicle because the battery that came with the car was still under warranty when the battery died. I complained to the service manager at the dealer about my battery problem, and that it was still under warranty at the time that I purchased the vehicle. The Service manager refused to discuss the matter or even replace the battery which was still under warranty. He informed me that I needed to contact Volkswagen. I asked to speak to the owner of dealership who was available but also refused to discuss my vehicle problem or even talk with me. I sent a letter to Toyota confirming this.

It was a few months as the problems continued, I realized that the dealership knew the vehicle had this problem because neither Toyota or the dealership offered to help me diagnose the problem despite my constant complaints and willingness to pay for the repair. They seemed to want me to disappear and shown no interest to want to help me diagnose the problem.

I also complained dozen of times to Toyota who financed the vehicle. Toyota also ignored my complaints and also made no effort to inquire with dealer about my car troubles despite my frequent phone calls and emails to Toyota. I don’t believe that Toyota made any effort to contact the dealer about my compliant.

It took me almost 3 years to have the problem professionally diagnosed as an electrical short. Electrical problems can be illusive, so I was forced to solve the problem by a process of elimination.

The cost of an electrical repair is unpredictable and could be extremely prohibitive because mechanics charge an hourly rate to diagnose and repair an electrical problem. This is the only vehicle I own. It could take days or weeks more to diagnose and repair this problem. I want to keep the car because I have heavily invested in this vehicle, and I believe it can be permanently repaired now that I know the nature of the problem which could only be diagnosed by a process of elimination.

I am specifically requesting $2,000.00 to repair my vehicle. My request includes the cost of replacing the alternator, the diagnosis and repair of the ongoing electrical shorts and a number minor electrical repairs. This vehicle was recently towed when it stopped running. I will be paying the cost of the tow and storage which I estimate to be $1000.00.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Every day, I try to keep my head above water, juggling work, responsibilities, and family challenges. But lately, it feels like everything is crumbling around me. I’ve found myself in a desperate situation that I never imagined I’d be in, and I’m struggling to figure out how to address it.

It started a few weeks ago when my truck, which I rely on for work, suddenly stopped starting. It’s not just an inconvenience; it’s a major problem because my job depends on being able to get to different sites. I’ve been missing shifts, and my income is dwindling. Every day that my truck sits idle, I lose money and fall further behind. The repairs are estimated to cost around $1,800, and I simply don’t have that kind of money right now.

As if that weren’t enough, my parents are struggling to make ends meet. They’ve always worked hard, but lately, they’ve been falling behind on rent and sometimes even have to skip meals to stretch what little money they have. They try to keep things together, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult. The stress of not knowing how to pay the bills or afford basic necessities is taking a toll on both of them. They need help to cover these essential expenses, and they’re doing everything they can to avoid falling into deeper financial trouble.

To make matters worse, my dad’s truck has been experiencing severe issues. It stalls out whenever the temperature goes outside the range of 50 to 70 degrees. This isn’t just annoying; it’s a serious problem because he needs it for his job. Without reliable transportation, he’s missing work and losing out on much-needed income. The repairs for his truck are estimated to be around $3,200 due to the extent of the problems.

With all these issues piling up, I’m at a loss for how to fix everything. I’m working extra hours, cutting back on expenses, and trying to find any way to raise the money we need, but it’s just not enough. The total cost for the repairs to both trucks is around $5,000, and the financial strain is overwhelming. I’m reaching out because I really need help. It’s hard to see my family struggling and not be able to fix things for them.

I’m hoping that someone out there might be able to offer a bit of support during this incredibly difficult time. It’s not just about the money; it’s about making sure we can keep our lives on track and get back to a place where we can manage on our own again.

If there is someone kind enough to help with this, my PayPal is @SamuelPerry780 and thanks so much for the help!

We have two vehicles at home—one for me and one for my husband. On June 2nd, my husband’s truck suddenly broke down and wouldn’t start. We had to have it towed to a diesel mechanic, and it has been there ever since. The repairs were extensive, including replacing all the injectors, lines, cleaning the fuel tank, and more. While the truck is now fixed and ready to be picked up, we are struggling to cover the remaining cost of nearly $4,000, as we’ve already paid $1,000 towards the bill.

Unfortunately, the mechanic has warned us that if we can’t pay soon, they might place a lien on the truck. This unexpected expense has been overwhelming for us. I’ve never asked for financial help before, but we’re out of options and don’t know what else to do.

This past year has been incredibly challenging. I had to leave my job to care for our 2 and 3-year-old grandsons after we obtained emergency custody to keep them from being removed from our daughters home. On top of that, my husband has been dealing with severe vision issues due to ocular histoplasmosis, requiring regular eye injections, and both of us have faced various health problems. We’ve also been down to one vehicle, which has been very difficult. I’ve had to borrow my mother’s car, leaving her without one.

Any assistance to help us cover this cost and get our truck back would mean so much to us and would help us regain some stability during this tough time. We are deeply grateful for any support you can provide.

Thank You for your time & God Bless ,

Hi, my name is Alyssa and my car broke down the other day. I am trying to get enough money to get it fixed. My mechanic told me it would be about $3500. I do have about 500 of this but unfortunately all of my resources locally have ran out, I am not blessed with wealthy family or friends who could loan me the money I have also applied for loans and reached out about payment plans with other local mechanics and nothing has been possible so far We are on the verge of getting evicted and both of us losing our jobs due to lack of transportation, and we could really really use this help. If anybody could help anything helps, even if you can’t help with the full amount, I really appreciate your time.

My faith in humanity has been shakened.

Correcting mistakes from my past to give me a better future has come with a cost.

I have accepted those challenges with my body and soul.

I have even reached a few goals.

My credit scores are up and getting better. I am constantly broke but hoping for better.

I have a car that’s needs some attention. I have done what I know and what I know is not enough to get my vehicle in running condition.

The car is a 1997 BMW 528i one previous owner.138,000 miles. I have replaced the windshield, bought a new battery, crankshaft sensor, mass airflow sensor, new windshield wipers. Still needs a water pump at least two better tires. The engine is absolutely beautiful. I don’t know enough about the engine to feel completely comfortable to work on this car by myself.I need the help of a garage, mechanic a handyman to get her in running condition. In the process of getting my life back on track. My CRV was repossessed.

My request is genuine. I have been house bound since May 1st.

It is truly humbling to ask or beg for help. One day I will be financially stable again. I will pay it forward, as have done many times before and since. Sharing what I can to honor the creator of man.

I’m asking for help with repairs to my car. it is in need of a new engine and transmission. I am trapped in a toxic family situation. I live in the country and am without means of transportation. My car was towed home and it needs a new engine and transmission. It is a 2017 Chevrolet Impala that I am paying the note and insurance on a car that I cant drive. I need transportation to make it to Dr. appointments and to be able to work. I am selling everything I can to make money for the repairs. This is turning out to be an endeavor that isn’t adding up and is taking a toll on my mental health. I am asking for help if you can please

Hello,

I’m writing this letter to request $2700 in funds for a car repair. I’m a single father and my son and daughter live with me. I’m employed as a semi Truck driver. My day is: I drive 45 to work, get in the semi truck and drive 8-10hrs a day and another 45 minutes home. Its quite a haul but it’s a job and I’m not one of the complaining type. In life, my parents always told me that ” you do what you have to do to get to what you want to do in life”.

I’m requesting the funds because my car, which is a 2003 Infinite G35, transmission went out on me. Luckily I wasn’t on the road yet and I was able to get it back to my house.

The problem is that this is my only source of transportation for me and my children. I got a rental car to continue going back and forth to work, but my rental car is costing me $260 a week. Rental car prices are outrageous!  I’ve been trying to hold on for the past month and a half but I can’t save any money to get my car repaired because of what I’m paying out weekly for the car on top of the bills for the house. I honestly feel as though I’m at a check cashing place and can’t get out!! If you’ve ever been in a situation to use a check cashing place you know how high the interest rate is and it’s nearly impossible to get out of the cycle. I’ve gone to a car lot but I can’t afford the payments they were trying to give me.

It’s a tough situation and I’m going to keep my head up but I really need some help if there’s anyone out there willing to help. I will provide receipts of the repair work or whatever you need to see how the funds were used.

Sir/Ma’am,

I live out in a rural area. I had a job and a car, and I was working on getting on my feet to save up money to move out of the toxic house I live in. I rent a room from someone who was once a friend. As time goes by, the abuse and negativity has gotten worse. But I was working my way out of here. That is, until, my car broke down. My transmission went out. I couldn’t afford to fix it so I sold it for $400. That barely caught me up on rent.  I lost my job due to no transportation. My request is to gain funds to buy a vehicle. I need transportation to go find work so that I can save up to get out of the situation I’m in (housing). There’s no public transportation out where I’m at either. I have a license in good standing. I just need a car. I’ve missed doctor appts and have had to stop going to church also. I also have 3 dogs and I’m going to have to find them homes soon because I can’t afford to feed them with no income. That’s going to break my heart. Please, if possible, please help fund me so that I can get a vehicle so I can continue my journey called life. Thanks for your time.

Hello,

 

My name is Brian, and I am reaching out for help during a very challenging time for my family and me.

 

Since 2020, we have faced significant financial hardships due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. To keep our business running after the shutdowns, we have accumulated over $104,000 of debt. Despite our best efforts, we have been struggling to stay afloat, keeping up with bills and preventing foreclosure on our home.

 

In October 2022, I took a full-time job outside of our business to help cover our expenses, and while we are managing to get by, it has been incredibly difficult. Last month, our 2003 truck, essential for my commute to work and delivering products to our customers, broke down. The injectors need to be replaced, and the repair cost is $5,500. Unfortunately, we do not have the funds to cover this urgent expense.

 

This vehicle is crucial for maintaining our livelihood and serving our clients. Without it, we are facing even greater financial strain. We humbly ask for any assistance you can provide to help us get the truck repaired. Your generosity would mean the world to us and help us continue to work and support our family.

 

Thank you for your time, consideration, and any support you can offer.

With gratitude,

Brian

My dad passed away back in 2008 and left me his 1997 Buick Skylark, which he purchased new.  The vehicle has 138,000 miles but is in decent condition and it has a great amount on sentimental value to me.

It’s not like me to ask for help and I hate having to do it, but I just started a new job which is fairly close to home, but this job pays monthly and I don’t get my first paycheck until July 15.  It’s going to be rough getting by for the next few months and I don’t officially start full-time until September 1.

My trouble started when the car overheated and we ended up replacing the water pump because it was leaking.  We also replaced the thermostat and serpentine belt.  We went to fill it with antifreeze/coolant and it all poured out on the ground, turns out the heater core has a major leak as well and the estimate to replace the heater core is $400 just for the labor.  While in the shop they told me it was time to replace the brakes and the shocks are getting worn.  They also pointed out that the bushings on the motor mounts were getting bad so I will need new motor mounts.

My backup vehicle was recently rear-ended in a hit and run.  It appears something is broke on the rear axle and I don’t even know if it can be fixed but currently it can’t be driven.  I only have a few miles to get to work, so I don’t need much of a vehicle, I’d be going by e-bike if I could afford one.  Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to give with my daily commute to and from work.

This is probably the hardest thing I have ever done.  I have learned to be humble and know when to ask for help and for me this is that time.  I am a 47 year old widowed father into Covid I had done well kept my bills paid even had a successful business.  I successfully raised my 3 children to adulthood and proudly saw them all graduate with honors.  I am a proud person by nature I believe in working hard for what you want and paying your own way.  Sadly after the pandemic my life took a step downward turn. I was laid off from my job and lived in a small town so work prospects were non existent for a long time.  I struggled to keep my home and pay my bills but sadly my investments and savings only carried us so far. Luckily I was able to see my youngest graduate and leave home before I lost everything but it was just barely.  I was forced to sell off all my belongings for a fraction of their worth until I only had my trusty truck and clothes.  For the first time I was homeless and nearly without hope. Living my son had a room for me but it was 400 miles away so I packed up and set off with my dwindling bank account and what little hope I had left.  I didn’t make it 50 miles and my transmission blew on my truck I used everything I had left to get a haul a and a tow bar.  I pulled my truck to my new home but I was left penniless.  My truck will cost about $3500 to fix.  Usually this wouldn’t be an issue but sadly like many others my savings are gone my investments also all gone.  I’m drowning on debt caused by my loss of employment from covid then the extremely long amount of time it took for the small town I lived in to come back to life afterwards. It’s unrealistic to believe all my problems will be solved from this but I’m hopeful that maybe God or the universe however you want to look at it will find a way to bless me.  I believe in paying it forward and have done my best to live by that but now I find myself being the one hoping beyond hope that someone will find it in their heart to help me.  My transmission would cost$3500 my debt has become a staggering 50k but honestly if I could just get my truck back on the road i can work and start working on everything else.  That being said anything would be helpful.  Thank you for reading this and if you find it in your heart to bless me with any amount I can say with 100% certainty your blessing will be paid forward to another when I am back on my feet. Thank you and God bless you and if you’re going thru it like I am know this to shall pass it might pass like a kidney stone but it will pass. Don’t lose hope!
