Yes indeed! Hello! Here’s the situation. Because I got laid off my job almost one year ago, and I’m still out of work, I had to stop saving money to get my car repaired so that I could pay rent and bills with it, along with my $179 a week unemployment, which has been fully depleted since last spring.

Let me tell you the history of my old car. I bought this car from the dealership back in November of 1999. That’s right! It’s a year 2000 millennial car that I drove brand new off the lot! It is approaching its 25th birthday next month! Can you believe it? It’s older than Gen-Zs and even some of the Millennials walking around out there. It’s probably in better shape too!

I used to say: “I’ve got to take my car to the hospital!” The hospital? Oh, I mean the dealership. That’s the only place this car has ever gone for repairs. If it could talk, it would testify to such.

The thing is that as we and our cars get older, we start to break down (knee replacement, hearing aids, incontinence, etc.). In terms of a car, various rubbers and sealants harden up from the summer heat and wear and tear, certain parts need to be repaired or replaced, and the usual breakdown that is expected as time goes on from car parts.

My car has never been in a car accident, so it’s never had to go to a body shop for anything. I keep the car clean and in mint condition with all the replacement parts being OEM and genuine. I want to stretch out its use until its last breath! Right now, there’s only about 188,000 miles on it. It’s a Maxima, which means it should easily be able to drive another 100,000 miles because Japanese cars are engineered so darn well!

After getting a second opinion, the first major part that needs replacement is the timing chain (belt), which encompasses at least 10 components including: 3 or 4 timing chains, guides, tensioners, water pump, various gaskets, seals, and fluids. It is a major undertaking including the labor. That alone is around $6,000. The second major repair is the water outlet and valve assembly which has something to do with the upper radiator hose that has a corroded tube. The replacement part and labor is about $2,000. So we’re looking at $8,000. If you are in a position to do so, an additional $2,000 or more would help me toward rent and bills while I look for work, so we’re talking around $10,000 or more if you can spare it.

Until these repairs are done, because of the corroded tubes and worn out hoses that must be replaced, I cannot use my air conditioner in the summer or my heater in the winter. I can’t even use the defroster, which is a hazard because I obviously have to be able to look out the window to see where I’m driving! So that’s a problem. That’s why I can only drive in the middle of the day and not in the rain when the window fogs up.

Just in case it crossed your mind, I have zero interest in a new car for many reasons: (1) My car is better made than new cars today, in my humble opinion. (2) I’ve put so much of my life and soul into this car to keep it well maintained, so giving it up would forfeit all that I’ve put into it over the many years. (3) For an old car, my car insurance is already so high, so why would I get a new car where the car insurance would be even higher? That makes a lot of sense – not! And (4) With no steady income, how would I even afford monthly payments for a new car? Those are just some commonsense things to ponder.

Anyways, I am glad you took the time to read about my situation and thankful for any amount that you are moved to give toward making it better.

I bought a vehicle from a private buyer and was not told the transmission is out in the vehicle. It is my families only vehicle to get us back and forth to work, as well as our son back and forth to daycare/school. Unfortunately I am all out of options on getting assistance, so I’m turning to this website and hoping and praying for a miracle to get our vehicle repaired! We have maintained the maintenance routinely just unable to afford to replace the transmission and it being such a key part, the vehicle isn’t safe enough to drive. Cash app is $JoshWright1995

Hello everyone. I am a commuter student to a public university. I chose to go to a school in a state which I reside in and do not live too far away from because it was the only state I knew I could afford without going into debt. I live at home with my parents who both have full time jobs but had to take time off due to my father having cancer. I rely on my car heavily as I use it to get to campus and use it to get to my two jobs throughout the week to be able to continue affording college. Recently I got home from a late night shift at a nursing facility I work at and when I woke up the next morning my car was stolen right out front of my house. Although the car was no where near new in fact it was a 2001 ford fusion, it was given to me by my grandmother who has since passed and I had no payments on it. I am in dire need of getting a new car I have no intentions of getting a nice new car yet instead something that is reliable enough to get me from point A to point B for the next year and a half. That being said if anyone would be able to donate anything at all to help me afford a new car I would be beyond grateful. I’v found a used 2006 civic with around 90,000 on it for less than 5k. My Venmo is p_058 and my cash app is p05811. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, god bless all of you have a lovely day.

Hello.

Im Osmund Thomas! I’m from Silver Spring, MD and I am a caring son & uncle. I was raised by two hard working parents who do their best to assist me. Personally, asking for money is the last thing I’d want to do but my situation is very tricky right now. Trying to be independent, I have been working tirelessly doing DoorDash for several years and recently I just got my first IT position which I’m so grateful for. My main issue began while I was looking for IT employment. Endless doordashing everyday trying to find a way to support myself without having to ask my parents for anything. During that phrase of my life I got into a car accident which set me back far behind, leading me to get a used car from a dealership who did not have my best interest in mind. Not really thinking to deeply, I took a high APR car note just so I can make ends meet. Constantly having to go get repairs on top of the note payments are getting the best out of me. So all this brings me to this website. I’m kindly asking for $13,000 to payoff this loan and get a grip back on my life. If anybody is able to help I’d greatly appreciate it & I can def pay back the money loaned to me. My main thing is just getting out of this car note because it’s not making sense to keep going with it. If you made it this far, Thank you and I really hope you consider this. https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/KEUZYCZZFD8TJ

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Benny J Tillman, and I am reaching out to you with a humble request for support. I need $10,000 to assist in the purchase of a reliable used Toyota Rav4. This vehicle will not only be used for personal needs, but, more importantly, it will play a crucial role in supporting my work with the Vedic Friends Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the urban community in East Point, Georgia.

Through our monthly healthy cooking classes, we empower residents with the knowledge and skills to make healthier food choices, promoting wellness in our community. We also have several other initiatives planned for the rest of the year, including a Vegan Thanksgiving dinner and our annual Christmas Clothing Drive, where we provide warm clothing to those in need during the holiday season.

A dependable vehicle will greatly enhance our ability to deliver these programs and ensure we can reach even more people in our community. Your generous contribution will not only help me purchase this vehicle but also support the continuation and expansion of our community outreach efforts.

Any amount you can give will make a difference. I deeply appreciate your consideration and support in helping us make a positive impact in East Point.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Sincerely,
Benny J Tillman

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 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.
