I am a 27 year old woman and just recently lost my job. I’ve hit a few financial hardships these past few months. Whatever money I had saved has gone on my rent and bills. My car recently stopped running due to a bad alternator and my tags are now due for registration renewal. Ever since that happened I’ve been really depressed. I live in an area where you need to have a car to get around. In return this makes it impossible for me to get to and from interviews, and it also takes away from me being able to go hiking out in nature on the weekends. Something I am very passionate about is music. I love all music. I feel that music is heart and soul and I consider myself and old soul. I love animals, art, and making a difference in the world by helping those surface their own fundamental darkness and standing up for what is right. In my spare time I also camping, jammin to music, photography, cooking, reading and editing and creating films and being with family and friends. I am asking for any donations to help me get back on my feet and get my car running to seek employment opportunities and to be able to get the car part, pay for the labor and be able to get my car registered. In addition I am requesting money to be able to help me pay my rent in advance given that I have exhausted all my savings and only have enough rent to cover the month of March. I am also behind on my pge bill. I just don’t want to end up homeless on the streets. Unfortunately, I was denied unemployment and right now I’ve been lucky enough to have neighbors help take me to food banks to get food. It’s never been this rough for me and I hit a really low point with my career. Unfortunately where I live General Assistance is only for two months maximum and the max amount is $250 for the month. Being a San Francisco native this is a complete culture shock for me because there are not as many resources where I live now, however I am determined more than ever to find a job where I can truly make a difference and I would like to go back to school to pursue nursing. I would like to become a LVN first but I have had to put this on hold because even with a loan for school I would still need to pay out of pocket to cover those expenses. Really any donations are appreciated. Thank you so much for listening to my story! Much love ❤️

If you are feeling generous and are able to donate anything you can do so on my paypal. Any amount is appreciated. Again thank you so much!

To whom it may concern:

I am a 54-year-old disabled (I am a right below knee amputee) healthcare clinician and former executive with a family of four facing the possible loss of everything we have, including our home.

My current troubles began in 2015 when I was injured at work in and then let go in early 2016. Until 2016, I had been gainfully employed and well compensated as the Vice-President at a Michigan rehabilitation hospital until I suffered injuries to my cervical spine and tendons of my right hand, and further injuring my right residual limb.

For nearly two years I was unemployed and nearly lost our home to foreclosure. My home was placed in forbearance and I nearly lost everything.  As it was, the entire situation left us deeply in debt. Eventually, by the end of 2016, due to my financial situation I qualified for financial assistance and Medicaid. Thanks to Medicaid, I was able to get the surgeries I needed. By May of 2017 I was able to work again. To provide for my family and avoid foreclosure on our home I had to cash out of all my retirement savings.

After getting a job out of state, though disabled, I was once again working at a substantial salary and began to resolve my debts, improve my finances, and avoid bankruptcy. However, it was still challenging to do so while also providing for my family. Just renting a room cost me an additional $500.00 a month and that did not include the costs of food and gas for my car. Living out of state had cost me over an additional $1000.00 in expenses each month. I have included a record of my rent payments while away.

To add insult to injury while traveling the 1200-mile round trip journey when I was working to visit my family, I had an auto accident which left me having to buy another car (used) so I could still get to work. This cost nearly $12,000.00.

Even though I was working at a lower salary (1/3 less than my previous salary – though still a good salary) and had the added expense of living out of state, I was able to resolve nearly all of my credit card debt, and remain on time with my mortgage, and help my daughter with her college expenses.

It was in September of this year when the facility I managed was closed, and I was laid off from job that disaster struck. Because of previous financial difficulties and this new hardship, I am unable to make my mortgage payment and my home is in forbearance once again. I am also unable to make my car payments and I am at risk of losing our family vehicle (I owe approximately $2500.00 on it). I am also behind on utilities bills, medical bills, and the portion of my daughter’s college tuition (approximately $1700.00) that she is counting on me to help her with.

I was fortunate to once again gain employment, though this salary is lower than my last salary and close to 50% lower than my salary before that job. However, it was enough to allow me to negotiate with my mortgage lender and extend my forbearance for another three months. I was to begin on 02/11/19. I was ready to start when just a few days before I was to leave for Wisconsin the polar vortex hit. This resulted in our losing power for approximately 4 days and delayed my start date to 02/14/19.

We were preparing for my departure when my mother-in-law became gravely ill and was place in hospice. As we were told that she could pass at any time, my wife wanted to travel to see her (she lives in Up-State New York). Despite the fact we could not afford it we applied for credit and bought a plane ticket for just under $500.00 so she could get there before her mother passed. This delayed my start date to 02/18/19.

My wife did visit her mother and returned, and I left for Wisconsin on 02/17/19 during yet another snow and ice storm. During the trip my car began to develop issues with suddenly accelerating and decelerating as well as losing power. I came to find that my car, a 2015 Nissan Sentra, utilized a CVT transmission, which unbeknownst to me was a known to have problems problem that affects all CVT transmissions that are in many Nissan cars. Nissan has failed on their part to inform the consumer about this problem. The main reason for this appears to be that Nissan owns a 75% stake in the company that makes these transmissions for their cars. JATCO is the company.

On 02/18/19, I also filed a consumer complaint against Nissan. Nissan requested I bring the car to a Nissan Dealership to have it examined. I brought my car to a local Nissan dealership in Green Bay, WI where it essentially died. I was told that the answer was to replace the transmission for approximately $4100.00. Nissan decided that, despite the known issues with the CVT transmissions, they will not help at all.

 

I cannot afford the repair cost of $4100.00 quoted by the dealership. Now I am forced to now rent a car (as I need a car for my new job) at a cost of approximately $33.00 a day I feel betrayed by both Nissan and CARite (the dealership I bought the car from -which will not even return my phone calls). I understand the car is used but the fact both organizations are selling a car with a known issue is something I find wrong. In addition, this has put my livelihood in and the security of my family in danger. I feel they have taken advantage of a disabled man who has limited resources.

 

To make matters worse, as all this was happening, we received news that my mother-in law passed away in the early morning hours of 02/19/19. As I did not have a working vehicle and we could not afford a plane ticket, my wife decided she would attempt make the 10+ hour drive to her mother’s funeral. Before making the trip she thought she would take the van in to have it service as it was overdue because of our financial issues. When she attempted to do so the van would not start and we were faced with another bill of over $500.00 to get it running again. These constant setbacks have stretched us past the point where we can even afford to have my wife drive to attend her mother’s funeral.

As you read this you may feel this all strains credulity. I understand that. My wife’s family feels that way and believes she simply does not want to be bothered to travel to her mother’s funeral and this has caused a rift between her and her family. Now it is too late for her to attend the funeral.

In the past I have been able to overcome multiple difficulties in the past such as abandonment by my father as an infant, my mother’s institutionalization for mental illness shortly after my father’s left us, being raised in two foster homes, the loss of my leg at the age of 24, two children born with birth defects and multiple financial struggles caused by various life events. At this point, I am reduced to simply pleading for help. My family’s and my life are in a tailspin and I don’t know how to pull out. Somehow, I need a working vehicle again, just to TRY to survive. Is there someone who can help either with a repair, a car, or even no interest financing to repair my car despite my damaged credit?

My name is Charles Fisher. I am 32 years old and I live in North Carolina. Today is 29JAN2019. I have been unemployed for the past 9 months. I am an American Board of Opticianry Certified Optician. I am also a US Navy veteran having served from 2004 to 2006 before being medically discharged. I was working as a contractor for the Department of Veteran Affairs as an optician until April of 2018. At that time I had several unexpected family and personal issues arise that forced me to resign my position. Shortly afterward, my car started having trouble but I was too distracted to do much about it. I have been doing everything I can to earn money these past several months. I have mowed lawns, chopped and split wood, gathered pine straw, cleaned horse stalls, built chicken coops; anything someone was willing to pay me for, which is legal, I have done it.

As winter has progressed these types of jobs have dried up. I have a 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with 241,500 miles that runs well enough but cannot pass emissions inspection due to several repairs that must be made. Among these repairs is included such things as replacing both oxygen sensors, the Mass Air Flow sensor, coolant level sensor, engine gas regulator valve, and a few other sensors. These repairs will help to get the car to pass inspection and therefore able to be registered again. To make the car truly roadworthy will require a bit more; tie rods, control arm bushings, rotors, brake calipers, brake pads, wheel bearings, ball joints, and motor mounts all need to be replaced. On top of these issues the old Monte Carlo desperately needs a good tune up. The cost of all of these repairs comes to around $500 if I do them all myself, which I am capable of doing, or more than $1400 if I take it to a mechanic.

I am only now reaching out for help because I am unable to find any more work close enough to home to not need the car. My parents are both in poor health and very much struggling financially themselves. I wish to get my car back on the road so that I may seek employment farther from home. Please help. I am seeking $1000. Please donate as much as you are willing to give and not a penny more. I thank you all in advance and pray that some day I will be in a position to help someone else in my current situation.

Best Regards,

Charles Fisher

Hello, I am appealing to you today in hopes of receiving monies that I can utilize to repair my 2005 Jeep Liberty leaky sunroof. It is a used vehicle, my only vehicle, with over 161,000 miles that I utilize for work daily. Unfortunately, I have only been able to apply $100 towards the $650 approximate amount it will cost to have it repaired. Each time I’ve tried to set aside the monies to have it fixed, something unforeseen comes up.When I purchased the vehicle, used, 2 yrs ago, I tried out the sunroof to see if it worked, and instantly, it was a problem, and appeared to not want to close so I made it a point to close it immediately but the mechanism or motor stopped working  and a pieces of the sunroof  fell inside the vehicle so I was able to close it but  when it shut, it shut off track and partially open lopsided. My quick fix was to tape it up but that hasn’t been fairing too well and recently it has began to leak inside my vehicle whenever it rains. If this continues, I am concerned that other issues will follow that I can ill afford to have.

I am the sole provider in my family, I work everyday as an Employment Services Specialist for a Vocational Rehab Services  department in my state. My employer helps find employment for individuals who have disabilities. Ironic, since I’ve always enjoyed and or tried to help others in need. I don’t make a habit out of asking anyone for anything, and this is very humbling of me to have gone to this extreme, but I’ve realized at some point, everyone has to get help every once in a while. If anyone is able to contribute towards my leaking sunroof problem so that I can get it replaced, I really would appreciate any and all assistance.

I have attached a picture of my sunroof below and the temporary tape job. Thanks again and God bless you in advance.

Hi my name is Brent I’m 32 years old and I have to boys one 10 and the other 2. So I’m having some troubles with finances I’ve worked at the same job for 17 years now and got to comfortable, I enjoy going to work and environment.  I work at a golf course so I love it. Unfortunately it doesn’t pay that good so i have always struggled. About 5 months ago i thought I would go do a fast title loan to help with bills over the winter because it’s always slow. Well I didn’t realize the payments for that were almost $800 a month. It’s my fault I did a dumb thing, so I had to turn my car in because I couldn’t make the payments. So now we only have one vehicle to drive and it’s pretty hard to get to my job and my fiancé to get to her job on time. Anyway I’m new to this whole thing not sure if it will even work and not going to lie it’s pretty embarrassing to do this. Thought I’d give it a try, anything will help to save up for a car for our family. Thanks take care

Lugo, straight to the point I need money, I need money to fix my car, I turned 18 October last month and been working to Pay rent to my uncles because my parents are in Mexico, I arrived to the United States August 2016, and started working at the age of 16, I know my life is not that hard compared to others, I know and it makes me sad that I actually have to do this but I only earn about 500 dollars every two weeks, my insurance as you might know is ridiculously expensive 325 a month, this is my last semester in school and I don’t want to drop out just because of money, so I’m asking you kind person, you who has enough money to even donate to a website to help a poor teen out I am completely ashamed for asking such a thing, but I need a car before they fire me from my job, you might ask “tell somebody to give you a ride” but you see my family is tired of watching over me although they don’t say it I see it in there faces they do t want me there, this wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t go to school and decided to just work all day, I will send a screen shot of my bank activity, but also know that I tend to pay in cash a lot so it might not show up I’ll try finding some other solid proof, I’m not asking for a thousand dollars, no anything little helps, just to get my old 2003 Chevy tracker back walking, what happened was that the “time string” I believed it’s called, I just googled the definition because my English is not perfect, snapped inside my car and it made my care turn off I told my uncle how much would it be he said that it could vary from 400-600 dollars because the time string is located somewhere in the middle of the motor and they will basically take the car apart and that’s why it is this much, I already gave mundo uncle 320$, couldn’t give the whole amount because my girlfriend let me use her car ( which was not I’m good condition) it needed to get new tires and tires stringent , also needed a New front arm control bushing.
