Please help me so I do not lose anything else.

I hate to ask for help, I have always worked for everything I have. I do work a full-time job and a part-time job, I live with my parents right now while I’m trying to get everything going back on the right track with my life. I have applied for loans, for payday loans, called family, asked friends and unable to do anything, now I am turning to anyone online who may be able to help me. I am going to school on top of working a part-time and full-time job to get a teaching degree with a specialization in special needs. My mother is unable to work due to being disabled and my younger brother who lives with us does work a full-time job.  All of the money we make goes to getting back and forth to work and trying to save up so that we can buy a reliable car as my car blew up after we put a lot of money into it and the car that we still have is on it’s last leg and breaks down all the time. I am just a young college student who is trying to buy a car and pay the rest of the things I have to pay to be able to continue to attend my classes for school, yes I have contacted the school and done everything that I could do that way and we are still at a loss. Every little bit helps, please help me to be able to buy a reliable vehicle so that my brother and I can continue to keep our jobs and I can continue to go to school. Thank you and god bless.

My pay-pal information is at the bottom of this post. Again thank you and anything is greatly appreciated. God bless you all.

I Need My Car Out Of The Shop ASAP!!!

Hello.  My name is Melissa and on October 22nd, I was involved in a car accident while I was working with one of the ride share companies.  Luckily, no one was injured except my vehicle.  It sustained more damage than the other person’s vehicle that hit me.  My insurance was able to cover the damages and my vehicle went in to the shop for repair.  It has been there for almost a month and should be ready by tomorrow.  The problem I am having is coming up with the deductible of $1500 that I have to pay out of pocket.  I receive Social Security death benefits for my son whose dad passed away 2 years ago and that only comes once a month.  By the time I pay all of the bills, rent, car payment, insurance, utilities, food, etc…..I’m lucky if I have a dollar to my name.  Since I haven’t had my vehicle to drive in order to work for Uber and Lyft, there is no money at all right now.  I have to wait until December 13th……..It has just been really difficult……I’ve tried to apply online to get a loan but my credit score is so bad they aren’t about to let me get a loan……I’ve been really stressed out about this because my car is our money maker that keeps a roof over our heads and food in our mouths……If someone out there reads this and feels the need to help, I would be so grateful to them for that for the rest of my life.  It took a lot for me to find the courage to even ask because I feel very prideful and don’t want to ask.  Thank you for reading my story.

Vehicle repairs could save us all

It took me a long time to realize that if I pray and ask for help yet I’m afraid to ask people or even turn down something as simple as someone paying my lunch out somewhere then I am turning away from the help that I prayed for.  As such, I decided to not feel bad about it and no longer turn my nose up or judge people who do need help. It’s an uplifting feeling!

I am amazed that such a site exists. After reading what others go through I don’t feel as bad as I did. However, that won’t help us out but if you are one to read this, thank you for the time and if you decide to skip on me I thank you for whomever your heart feels is right for you!

I lost my job and apartment earlier this year due to unforeseen injuries that started with my first ever arthritis injury. I didn’t even know I had it. It effected my right knee and kept me down for weeks. However, with a fear of losing everything I chose to work before it was completely healed and, as a result, fractured my right foot. I lost even more work and wound up losing it all anyway and am here at my mother’s house living on a recliner.

While on this recliner it doesn’t suit my large body very well and I wound up doing damage to the achilles tendon on my left foot. Now, I have both feet injured and may not be able to work until after the new year. But I can only stay here until February and I owe taxes so a refund is not possible, sadly.

My mother has torn ligaments in her shoulder so she cannot work. She just was able to get early retirement at a meager 400 a month. My stepdad gets disability of around 800 and it covers most things except food, any extra electricity that we may use and emergencies. So, yeah, it doesn’t work out well.

Before my injuries I bought a car to fix so I could get a better paying job and share it with my brother and his little family who also lost everything and wound up here before I did. He had emergency back surgery that messed up his legs so he cannot walk well without shaking ridiculously. His wife works minimum wage and is having trouble saving money and paying for things for their 3 year old daughter.

If I could get the car fixed and licesnsed, tagged and a few months of insurance I feel like it’ll all be good. We could then get to food banks, I could get to a job once I healed and my brother’s wife could get a better paying job, all before my step dad’s vehicle goes out, which it is about to.

His vehicle has all 4 tires showing the tears and breaks going out. It also needs an exhaust system and breaks. If this happens everyone is screwed.

My car needs 2 tires, a radiator (or just a radiator flush) and the tags and insurance. We have estimated 160 for tires, 100 for radiator flush and 200 for a whole new radiator and labor if a flush does not work (pt cruiser so it could be more). The tags and taxes are 40 plus either 100 for one month or a little over 500 for 6 months of insrance.

The repairs on my stepdad’s vehicle is 500 for tires plus another 150 for breaks and we don’t even know about the exhaust system.  We guess a grand would cover all or most of his.

So a good starting point for us is one or the other vehicles getting fixed. 350 would be a good start. The most for mine would be around 850 we think.

For my step dad it would be around 1,000. 2,000 we think woul take care of it all.

Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated! I do understand that there are many in need so thank to whomever you do decide to help. Miracles are usually people who can while they’re in a good place in their heart. Thank you for that!

Sincerely,

Daniel

Trying to Finish Nursing School

Right now we are going thru the worst time of our lives. Mentally I’ve been to the point I have thought about quitting nursing school and feeling like I don’t want to continue on. My son and I have been going through so much hell. March, I was wrongfully terminated from my job of 6 years. The job I have now pays me $4.00 less. My wages are being garnished for old student loans which is really putting me in a bind. The apt we stay in doesn’t have a stove or fridge so we have to eat out or grab nonperishable items to eat. A lot of times we have to do without because the money just ain’t there. My biggest issue now is that on September 15, 2017 the motor in a car I just got purchased on July 20, 2017 locked up. The car lot owner will not replace the car because of a 30 day warranty. I have had to struggle to get to work, to school, to the grocery store, to wash clothes because there is no public relations transportation where we live. I definitely can’t afford Uber. WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED. I’m so ashamed and embarrassed to be reaching out to strangers and telling my personal business. I have reached out to several people/organizations with no results. I’m a very proud person and used to taking care of things myself or doing without but the love for my son and my obligation to take care of him surpasses any feelings I have about asking for help. He is MY WHOLE WORLD and I owe him the necessities of life and I owe him a good life. My son is such a man and he says, “We’re gonna get thru this, Mama. Don’t cry ok.” It breaks my heart. I’ve been faced with situations like this before but never this bad. I’m SO ANGRY with God because he knows all I’m trying to do is make a better life for my family and He’s allowing all this. I’m not strong like Job. No one really understands exactly what I’m going through. Without a car I don’t know how we will make it. People get tired of you asking for rides. My school and my hospital clinical site is approximately 30 miles away, I’m struggling to get to both every week. I have one more year left in nursing school. Just one. I have worked so hard to get this far and I’m humbly asking for help to make it the rest of the way to provide for my son and to be able to pay forward what ever generosity is blessed upon me. My coworker suggested I go talk to the car dealer she purchased her car from. I met him. He showed me some cars and the seemed to be dependable. My coworker and her brother purchased cars from him with no complaints. The car I would like to purchase is $6500 but he doesn’t finance. If someone could please help me purchase this car. PLEASE.

Vehicle Woes

I have limited income due to a disability.  I currently survive off $1900 take home income per month.  I live a minimalist lifestyle, however each week I am struggling to make ends meet.  I am consistently left with $1 or $2 in my account waiting for payday to come just to make ends meet again.  I get by and I survive but I do not have money for major expenses.

I recently borrowed $4500 from a friend to purchase a vehicle to get me back and forth to work in.  I repay this loan $100 per month.  I found out after purchasing the vehicle that it needed major repairs.  I attempted to return the vehicle under state lemon laws but I missed my opportunity to do so by one day!  So, I got stuck with a piece of junk in need of major repairs that I cannot afford.  I don’t even think the vehicle is worth putting the amount of money in repairs it needs into it.

Without a vehicle I would lose more than half of my income as I live in a rural area and need transportation to work.  I would ideally like to be able to receive donations to pay off the $4500 loan on this vehicle so I can start over from square one and try to find a more reliable vehicle.

I am unfamiliar with how this all works, but I am willing to discuss my situation in more detail and provide documents that support everything I have said.  I have nothing to hide and just need help.

Your donations will be greatly appreciated and I look to help others in anyway I am able in return.  Thank you for your consideration.

Please help me, I need money to get my car fixed so I can have transportation to work.

Hi! My name is Epiphany! I’m 18 I live in Fayetteville, NC. I am in a bit of a financial bind. My mother has just recently passed away in June and I had to get a job in order to pay for the utility, internet, and taxes for my home. I am a new hire Event Staff with Staff-1 Event Services Group. Basically my job is being an event representative. I give clients information on the event they are attending if they have any questions, direct clients to parking, and direct clients to proper seating areas. The reason why I need to get my car fixed is so I can have my own transportation to work because most of my work assignments are out of town that my job unfortunately doesn’t provide transportation to. My job only provides transportation to 1 venue and it’s to Duke football stadium. Other venues I am not available to attend to work due to lack of transportation are Cary, Greenville, Raleigh, Durham, Wilmington, and other surrounding areas not mentioned.  I have been searching for loans, odd jobs, selling things, and asking family members for money and so far have had no luck. Please if you can help me this will be greatly appreciated and I will send a thank-you gift after I get back on my feet. I am in need of around $975 to get my car fixed all together. It needs a new motor (main thing I need to get the car fixed), oil change, new tires, and a bluetooth radio.

Hello My name is Patricia I am 59 of age and have worked since I was 15 of age. I am a single mother of three all grown and living there own lives, I am a grandmother and a pet owner. My circumstances started two years ago while I was employed with a great paying job I started having bad back pain over the months it got worse to where I could barely walk 5 steps without falling to my knees in pain . I took a leave from my job and after 3 months of never ending pain my insurance approved me for lower back surgery, My hopes were high and looking forward to a 100% out come after surgery.  Nothing has been more disappointing after my surgery and recovering I was still having back pain not has bad as before surgery but pain more the same meaning I was not a 100% a lot of nerve damage well by this time I lost my job and no longer had health insurance . My doctor told me I might want to look into Disability being that I was limited on my activities so I did and still after two year jumping through hoops I am still waiting on the out come from my hearing .   I am embarrassed and not comfortable to be asking for help  but I have sold all that I could to get by the past 2 years and my children and family are not well off to help me . I need help to pay my vehicle insurance, Vehicle taxes and renewing tags to keep my vehicle on the road and my vehicle needs a oil change and two front tires to pass inspection which is due soon. I cant borrow the money as getting a loan because I cant work and have now way to pay on a loan. I try to help myself every way I can like I said selling things I can do without and when I have materials I like painting on wooden pallets and selling them to get by. I really don’t put much faith in excepting any stranger to want to help out someone they don’t know but I was lead here  to make my peace and believe in hope . My past two years have been rough back surgery loss of employment and loss my best friend my Pom of 9 years.

May God Bless You

Single Mother and Veteran

I’m a single mother and Veteran , I bought a vehicle little less than 6 months ago have had to repair multiple things on the vehicle, I have kept the communication open , informing the lenders of the problems, even being out of work due to this situation, so it didn’t help that i basically had to choose between repairs and getting to work , or making the payment and not being able to get to work! Loose loose situation especially when i primarily use my vehicle for my job , receiving mileage. I  just need to be able to go to work while i still have a job this month of September has been very challenging because i have been out of work most of it . I just want to clear my name of this headache of a vehicle that i found out has had a history I was sold a car that isn’t worth what i’m paying for I have done my research and reported the company they simply say that it was my fault for not doing my research , which i take responsibility for but how does a business sell a car with corrosion underneath the vehicle because of the nature of the northern states and snow?! Also when i attempted to sell the vehicle to a better company , they pulled the Carfax and the vehicle had 9 other owners and a prior repossession on top of that!!! Omg I was so hurt because if i would have known I would have never ever purchased the vehicle even putting down a $1300 down-payment and traded in my 11 year old car , so i’m not one to run through vehicles!  My current payments of $263.21 monthly due by the 5th aren’t helping me either car simply not worth it! I want out of the vehicle or to be able to purchase something to get back and forth to work and safe for my daughters . I currently owe$789.00+ repossession fees . I just need leave this financial lender alone and get my life back , i’m unable to pay being out of work and before that fixing items on the vehicle how do you have to replace multiple parts of a vehicle and only having it 5 months ? Also the vehicle still driving funny I  believe that it’s so much more to the vehicle , now i have it on my shoulders ! Carfax  needs to be seen for this matter !

$2000 To Fix My Precious (Car)

Hi Everyone

I’m embarrassed to be doing this. Scratch that, extremely embarrassed to be doing this.

I’ve had my car for 7 years. I’ve taken good care of it and drive carefully. No loud music. No passive aggressive driving. No running through red lights. Etc. Unfortunately my perfect accident record was recently slashed when I was hit by an emergency vehicle. Another two “unfortunatelies,” my claim was denied by the comptroller’s office and I didn’t have collision insurance so my own company won’t cover it or really go after them. A bit of a dumb move on my part in hindsight but truthfully I just thought that I’d be good without it and I was for a realllllyyyy long time. Although there are contingency lawyers who can deal with the case, I really don’t want to drag this out in court only for my claim to be ultimately denied again or me to spend 3 months trying to get something like $700 after lawyer fees.

My Precious.jpg

Thankfully the damage isn’t severe. You can see from the pic that the car is generally in good shape but it doesn’t drive as is as the control arm/mechanism got jammed in. I got some estimates and was able to find a shop that would fix it up for $2,000. Well $2043.74, but who’s counting? ;) I vetted the garage, talked to them. They’re good people and know that I don’t need perfection. I just need a smooth drive and for it to not to look so smacked up on that right side. Don’t care about paint or none of that.

Can anyone help me out? I really don’t want to let this go because 1) it’s of extreme sentimental value to me 2) if I’m unable to make my rent in the near future, which is highly possible at my current financial state, at least I’ll have a decent place to sleep and 3) I can find work as a delivery driver if need be. It’s been through a lot with me and I would be eternally grateful. paypal.me/sterot

P.S. I’ll definitely be getting collision insurance from now on. That’s for sure!

Best,

Steve

Crashed Car And No Job

I was actually driving from place to place asking if businesses were hiring and dropping off my resume when someone ran a red light and T-boned me. Luckily, I came out of it ok but my car needs some serious fixing. The mechanic said it will probably cost around $500 to fix everything that needs to get fixed for it to work safely and properly. I have sold some of my belongs; gold jewelry, guitar, etc; and saved up $145 so far but it’s always a little uncertain if people will want to buy your stuff in the time-frame you need them to buy it and I don’t really have much else to sell to begin with. As a last resort I’ve searched online for websites like this in hopes my story could spur some sympathy, I guess. Ha Ha. Without my car, though, it makes it very difficult to go out and find a job and then have reliable transportation to get to that job when I get it. I know there is always the bus but I live in a city that is full of shady people and I get really nervous walking around town. There have been scary incidents in the past. I’m not just paranoid that something might happen because too many things have happened when I have walked around here.

Well, I just thought I would give this a shot. I’m trying to come up with anyway of making that money I can possibly conjure in my brain.

Thank you for listening to my story and I hope you have a great day!

vehicle

I am a 21 year old female. I have anxiety and depression so it’s hard to try to keep a job for long. But I finally found one where the people and environment is good. The downfall though is that I’m only making $9:hr, making just over $400 every two weeks. I still live with my parents, still don’t have a vehicle, (don’t even have my  license) so my mother drives me to work and places I need to go. It’s hard to save up the money when I have bills to pay such as gas, phone bill, food, etc. And I also have too big of a heart and have been helping out a coworker to stay in a hotel with her two little ones, helped two friends out and now they won’t pay me back. I believe in if you do good, good will come to you. I won’t lie, this job is good to me, my new friends are good to me, and my family is good to me. But there is only so much I can put on their shoulders. Driving me around like they are my personal uber is such a bad feeling. I hate having people do things for me but at this point I just need help because lways having to depend on someone while trying to be independent myself is making me feel so childish as I’m trying to adult. Luckily for me my father’s partner from work is selling his wife’s old Yukon for $4000 dollars but dropped the price to $2500 and I’m still struggling to get the money. I can’t ask him to hold it for much longer because he was already nice enough to drop the price so much for me. And when I get the vehicle, I can reapply to my old job (only getting $8.10:hr)  as well, so I can be working both jobs to be able to afford the vehicle and look into getting an apartment. I just need a little jump start to get my life started. I’ve been feeling like such a failure looking at how well put together everyone is and I’m still trying to get my foot out the door. If you could please help me out that would mean so much, anything helps. https://www.paypal.me/SSettyIMG_6331.JPG

Broken vehicle & home foreclosure

I was driving to work a little over a month ago in my Scion tC and heard a loud snap. My car cut off in the middle of the highway. I tried to start it again, and the battery and started came on, but not the engine. I almost knew it had to be my engine, but I decided not to panic. My stepfather looked at it and guessed it was the engine. A week later, I got an actual mechanic to look at it and it certainly was the engine. That was my favorite car to own.

I’ve been able to rent a car for a while through insurance and Enterprise, but my rental time is now up. I sold my car with a non-running engine and could unfortunately only get $300 for it.

I work twenty miles (25 minutes) from my job and can’t get there without a vehicle. I’m currently living with my mother (on unemployment), unemployed stepfather (very little unemployment), and disabled aunt (who gets very little in disability). The house can be foreclosed on at any time. All of them are in worse financial situations than I am and absolutely cannot help me at all financially.

I was very well on my way to saving up to move out of my family’s house (and closer to my job), but this is a huge financial (and emotional) setback.

I am asking for 4K in order to get a decent, somewhat long lasting vehicle so that I can continue to save, finally move out of the house, and get a place that’s closer to my job. If I reach 6K, however, I’ll will be able to move out on my own.

 

Thank you. Any little bit helps. :)

Please help

Hi, my name is David, I currently live with my wife and 17 month old.

i feel so very unproud of myself having to ask for help from complete strangers and yet find myself swollowing my pride to seek to opportunity that sonewhere and somehow there is a way to help rebuild our lives.

around 5 years ago we felt that we were doing fine, we managed to rent, go out and enjoy ourselves. We had a little bit of debt but it seemed manageable.

however this was not the case, we would end up using our wages and anything left would be put today’s the debt, unfortunately the payments we had left did not cover the interest, we fell into a terribleness midset up we can worry about it later and borrowing further funds to pay the original bills but just ended up creating more, as time went on we started to find things increasingly difficult with our outgoing being more than our income and even scrimping on everything we still missed bills, we would miss one and then the month later catch up but would miss a different one to pay for it, so on and so on.

we now have a beautiful baby daughter who is the love of our lives, I as a father feel so disappointed in myself that I am unable to be the father figure I always had hoped to be, not being able to afford to buy her new toys or clothes but instead relying on gifts or charity shops to provide for her.

we go without meals sometimes in order to make sure she still eats well, we always make sure of that.

we have a 15 year old car that we use to cart us to and from work daily which has started to pack up more than I am able to fix and currently fear what will happen when it dies in the near future and will be unable to afford a new one, our credit history is below very poor due to our past so cannot look to get finance as they simply will not allow it.

i come from a very small family and therefore cannot ask for any further aid from them as the have exhausted their ability to provide aid

im just so scared of all this money worry, I have tried so hard to keep my family’s head above water, yet feel that we are now very quickly sinking.

I just don’t know what else to do

I’m sorry

Please Help Me Get Back On the Road

Never in a million years would I imagine there would be a time that I would ask for help. Well that time has come as I desperately need help now.  A little bit of back story. I was a divorced empty nester enjoying my life in Orlando, Florida. Not well off but I was able to provide for my needs as a Uber/Lyft driver.

Having spent a long time in the corporate world becoming self employed seemed to be the answer for my quest for freedom and independence. All was going well until my adult son and daughter divorced their respective spouses and had to move back home with kids in tow to boot.

Suddenly I was responsible for 6 people on one salary. My daughter’s ex moved back to his home country and did not provide child support and their home was foreclosed on. She was always a stay at home mom so you can see where this is going. My son worked for  a contractor but the company lost their city contract and here we are.

Now for the heart of the matter, my car’s engine gave out. It also needs a mass air flow sensor and four new tires. This is my (our) only source of income at the moment and I need to get back on the road. This is not asking for a handout but for a helping hand. I have given the kids a time frame for leaving but right now I need to focus on getting back on track and finding a way to pay the rent, food, etc. One can only stretch a dollar so far and right now it is stretching to Timbuktu. I am asking for $3000 to help cover the cost of a rebuilt engine with the labor and the sensor.

If nothing else this post is very cathartic in the sense I am able to release some of my anxiety and frustration at this sudden downturn of events. Thank you all for listening and as it has been noted, “tough times never last but tough people do.” I sincerely hope that is the end result in my case.

I have asked everyone I know for help but no one can. The Kids father will not pay his child support so I have no help from him. I can’t get my kids to school or doctor appointments now and I don’t know what to do. I have tried everything possible to get a car and keep getting denied. I really need a car to take care of my family. I hate to have to ask for help. If anyone could please help me get a vehicle or has a vehicle they will let me buy from them making small payments would really help. Also if anyone knows wgere i might be able to get help with this could you please let me know. I’m really having a hard time right now and don’t know what to do anymore.

Not one to let go of Dreams,

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

Car Repairs – New Job, Baby Boy on the way, Car un-drivable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

praying for some help

A little bit of background

I recently moved across the country to get a new start on life, I was so down and depressed I needed a drastic change, which it’s worked and I met the most amazing person in my life who picked me back up and basically saved my life, the saddest part was leaving my dog with people I thought I could trust.

Before I had a chance to get my feet under me I was getting phone calls about my dog being abused and starved, what little money I had saved I used to get my dog to me, nearly $1000 to get her here, and again for the vet bills, with nothing left, no home to call my own and a dog, I met the person I’d happily spend the rest of my life with, she gave me a place to live and be happy, I’ve managed to get a job and pay off some debt I had, but it’s a traineeship which Pays like it’s meant for 14 year olds living out of their parents house not someone trying to live a life.

 

Now the reason for all of this.

Her family has weekly gathering for dinner which is nice, not really having the family thing before, and on her way there for the weeks dinner, some idiot driver decided to cross the and started to pull out in front of her car right as we got to the turn, she had no time to react and they collided, both cars have been written off, because of our laws she had to pay a fine for the collision and the insurance doesn’t cover any of the damage that was caused so she owes about $1400 for that to start, currently she is waiting for the next job to start which doesn’t until august, but she needs a car to get to and from work. this job she is going  to start soon is working with guide dogs on a training facility, it’s basically her dream job.

 

The goal.

For everything she has done for me I want to buy her a car, doesn’t have to be fancy or luxurious, I just want to do for her what she has done for me, only I don’t have enough to get her a car on my own, it would mean the world to me for any help I get from coming here.

thank you for taking the time to read this.

Need to get a new car so I do not lose my job and so I can find a better job.

Last year I moved and started my life over after leaving an abusive relationship. I was gradually getting my life together, I had a good job, my car was running well and I was able to save money to get my own apartment. Unfortunately I was let go from my job 7 months ago and since then I haven’t found a job paying what I used to make. I went through all of my savings and although I do work full time most of my check goes to child support which I have no problem with but I am left living off of $130-$150 a week. I pay $75 a week for rent living with a family member so when I have to pay for things like my car insurance, cell phone or everyday things that my kids or I need I am left with almost nothing. Recently my car broke down and that was a big hit as I am relying on friends to get around. I have my bachelors degree and there are jobs I would like to pursue but I need a car as these jobs require me to travel out of my immediate area. I am not a selfish person and I live a simple life not splurging on things or stuff I do not need, i make sure my children have what they need and are happy. If I was able to buy a reliable car it would be a game changer for me and give me the break I need so I can get a better paying job and get my life back on track. I looked at cars in my area and with just $5000 I could get a good vehicle but In my current situation $5000 might as well be a million. I am a proud person but even I realize that sometimes we all need help.

A Young Lady At The End Of Her Rope

       Good Afternoon, I’m Tina. I’m 24 years old (Born in Michigan) and I am a regular everyday working woman. My life, like many, has not been easy, but it has grown me into a stronger young lady because of the trials and tribulations that I have overcome. I have always loved helping others in life. I have a loving mother, a wonderful father, and the best big brother in the world. and a wonderful best friend. To be honest I don’t think of myself enough. I find myself giving too much of myself, and not enough focus on my passions or even hobbies. Through my life here on this Earth so far, I have struggled through sickness, depression, anxiety, and the feeling of being “buried” in stress. I would like the opportunity to tell you about myself and who I am, if only just in this moment in time. I have worked since the age of 12 in Romulus, Michigan. At the age of 14, I was notified by my doctor that I would never be able to bear children because there was too much of a risk factor (either I would die, or the baby would when trying to give birth). I have had to process so much information like this at such a young age. I felt…incomplete for much of my life because of this; like a puzzle with pieces missing. I have learned of course through mourning and the process of life itself that things will be okay, even if I can’t do that. I was also rushed to the hospital at 14 in the middle of summer some months later because I fell asleep and stayed asleep for over 48 hours. I fell asleep on a Friday and did not awaken until Monday at 9AM. It terrified me. I was told by the physician that I had something called Hypothyroidism. My thyroid was so low that my body was slowly slipping into a coma, and with that, I was given medicine to help maintain a healthy thyroid as well as a healthy body all around. When I had first arrived, I was told I had the energy of a 90 year old man. I didn’t go out much, didn’t feel like doing anything because I was always so tired. After about 6 months of taking Levothyroxine 25mg daily, and shedding off over 100lbs. I feel a whole lot healthier and livelier. I now have the energy of my own age. It feels good to just keep up on eating healthy as well as trying my best to enjoy life. I lost a lot of the weight by running or jogging. I do enjoy cardio quite a bit to be honest. In July of 2015, my best friend told me that we had the opportunity to move to Texas because her job would move her there with the ability to continue working for her company at a Texas location. She has worked in the automotive industry for many years now. So, we started getting everything we could together and began getting ready to move. I now reside in Texas, where I still continue to do my best, working hard to follow my dreams. I moved to Texas on August 24th, 2015. I enjoyed the 9 hour trip down here with my best friend. It was truly an adventure. She works at a job making ends meet as well as myself. With what we both make, we just clear enough for an apartment, food, water, and electricity. The money the auto company gave was just enough to move down here; getting an apartment, and getting settled into a new state was of course left up to us. When we moved I was able to get a little inexpensive car but recently on June 23rd, 2017 my car’s engine overheated and now I have no vehicle. I work at a postal company, and right now and I am trying my hardest to save money to obtain the simply things in life. The car I had broke down and now my life has been slowly turning into a hellish nightmare. My daily routine is to go to work, pray for a ride home safe and sound, check the mail, cook dinner, work on paperwork from work, and then go to sleep to do it all over again. On my days off, one of my main hobbies is writing letters. I love getting letters in the mail from nice individuals (especially artists like myself). I have received letters from The Vatican, as well as Her Majesty the Queen. I don’t write anything usually big; to be honest I just like asking how everyone is doing or telling people Happy Birthday. I have loved writing, because it’s a way to express myself while getting to know other amazing people. Lately, I haven’t really had the postal stamps to write like I used to. I used to write to my lifelong dream subjects of all time: Sign Language Organizations. I have always dreamed of learning sign language; it is truly a beautiful language that I’ve always been fond of. In the past my family has always helped me to expand my talents; my mother is a bit of a creative woman herself which is where I feel I get my artistic pride from, and she also helped me with writing to express emotions better. It may seem simple, but I feel like it’s impossible to ever have that little dream come true with everything else going on the way it is. I of course need a car, a way to get extra hours at work, while making sure bills are paid on time, and at the end of the day all I would like is to have the ability to work on my dreams of obtaining a sign language degree. I would love a job where I could just help people in many ways for companies or even special projects. I’ve been told I’m incredibly organized and great at typing / secretarial work. But I feel that maybe I’m no longer important in this world. As I said, I’m just a regular everyday working woman. Who cares what I have to say? Sorry to say it, but much of what I have to say goes unheard in my everyday life. The job I work damages my body. I come home with bruises, foot pain, and back pain from constant moving of boxes, but it’s what I do to make money. I have had boxes hit me in the throat, chest, back, feet, and face so many times and I still go into work the next day. My best friend’s job is very straining on the body as well. With her hypertension and the massive heat here, she does whatever she can to stay cool and not irritate her blood pressure. December 23rd, 2015 I was in the hospital again overnight due to the horrid effects of Vertigo. Vertigo is a hellish nightmare that rears its ugly head whenever it feels like. You could get symptoms every day, every other month, or just whenever the body is under immense stress. The sensation of Vertigo is like spinning in an office chair without the ability to stop it even after you’ve gotten sick several times. There is no stationary treatment for vertigo other than hoping and praying that motion sickness pills help the problem at hand when it arises. I now do my best to treat my dizziness and symptoms with staying calmer and just being more prepared, but unfortunately, Vertigo can happen at any given time. No matter how many motion sickness pills, or nausea medications, each onset of Vertigo is different for every person diagnosed, so it can be minimal or very…very intense. All I can do is pray, and keep calm. At the end of the day that’s all you can do. I maintain a healthy lifestyle, and will continue to monitor my health and keep an open mind in this world as much as humanly possible. Not to mention I am anemic, and have been diagnosed with menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, and cluster headaches in relation to my vertigo. With the hospital visits (including the recent visit on Easter of 2017) I owe $4,000 in medical bills. I feel like I can work even harder and pay these bills if I had a running, really trustworthy car. I need help because taking cabs every single day to get to work is diminishing the little money I have now. So, I know there has to be a thought in mind of “Why has this young lady told me all of this?” Well the answer is simple; I wanted to finally tell someone, anyone, about me while I have the chance to finally speak about myself and the little dreams I have. Yes, I still struggle with depression, bills, anxiety, and surviving, but it’s not like I have any money to fix my simple problems. I am trying to work hard and pay these things but I feel like no matter how hard I work I keep getting hourly cuts, using tons of money on using cabs and travel drivers to get to work and I don’t know what to do anymore. Some days even when I’m nauseated or sick from Vertigo I still have to go to work to make sure we don’t fall behind on any bills. When my mother or father back in Michigan ask me how everything is going I tell them I’m fine, because they have had pay cuts and I just don’t want them to worry about me. I don’t want my family to have to wake up and wonder if I’m okay. Sometimes, I want to just become invisible, or even no longer exist. I wonder to myself if maybe I should just die, so my debt of living won’t bother anyone. I feel like a waste of a person. I don’t think my luck will turn around. Maybe I’m supposed to be an example of what it means to mean nothing in life.
