struggling family

I know there are angels out there because they've helped my family get this far. I am used to helping others and have difficulty asking for help for myself, but this is for my children. We are all survivors of a dangerous and abusive situation ,and I thank God for every day that we are alive and together.
I am very worried about our car making it through the winter here without having a proper tune up and the rear tires are bald. Our furnace is not working properly, although we are getting heat from it.
Although I know things could be much worse, i am hoping someone could help us fix our car. I look forward to repaying any kindness shown my family as soon as I am back on my feet.
Thank you and God bless you.

What to do??

Hi.

I was in Riverside yesterday and stopped to eat at carls Jr. and after that walked around and looked in some of the shops that was in the same strip mall. When I came back to my car it was gone. I went back inside the carls and they handed me a card for Hamilton's Towing I called them and they will not release my car without $300 cash or $345 on credit card. I couldnt of been parked there more than a couple hours and there was plenty of other parking spaces. I dont have that kind of money or a credit card. This is our only family vehicle. I dont know what to do, fees go up daily for storage charges. Any ideas? Thanks for reading:)

Broke Down and Broke

This probably won't work, but here it goes anyway. We are in need of help fixing the transmission in our car, if i can get it fixed i can find work. I have been offered a job but can't get to it without transportation. The people who offered the job will pay me $9/hr and have given the job to me if i can get to it. I would be happy to pay someone when i get back to work, right now my bills are passed due and i have nothing left to sell to get enough to fix the car. from what I've read online a new transmission will cost about $800, plus labor. I'm guessing a used transmission would run about $4-500 plus labor. If some one can help i will work it off and/or pay in notes once i'm working again.

Lost

I am a single, childless female. I lost my unemployment last month after being told for months that I had benefits until April 2011 and I was planning for that. The last few months of 2010 I was going back and forth to Iowa City for cancer surgery so everything I had saved up was gone. I have since lost the vehicle I was buying before losing my job and the car that i do have doesnt run and at the moment I cant afford to fix it. A repair shop wants 1500$ to fix it because the timing belt has gone out. I am having to rely on other students to pick me up and I missed all day yesterday because my ride didnt show up. I desperately need my car fixed, this is my last semester of school and will have to begin my practicum soon and will need to get back and forth for that. I am at a loss. I have tried every program or organization that has been passed along to me only to be told that because I dont have any kids they wont help me. I dont know where to turn anymore.

I really need help to get a reliable transportation, such going to my doctor's appointment (can't miss them), pick up my medicines, go to laundry, go to groceries/store, post office, and most for emergency purposes.  I am disabled person with debalitating advanced Rhematoid Arthritis and Ostorioporosis with high volume of anxiety and high blood.  I can't be able to walk to the bus station/depot because of long way to walk or can't stand for long (even for 5-10 minutes)or ride a bus, because, my body ache to use stairs of buses, and I can't afford to buy even an old car, because, I only dependent for my SSI/Disability income from the government. that pay my rent, utilies and foods, even foods not enought to buy, because, I only get a little SSI.

This time, I really need a car for all my important needs, especially for all my doctor's appointment...this I can't afford to miss.  And going to the store to buy foods...I can't be able to carry them, also, for all my emergency purposes.  If there is someone or people that can help me give/get a car, I will really be grateful for the rest of my life.  It would be my foot and arm to go and do important things I can get and use.  Please help me! 

I live in north california, so, I hope there is someone out there who can help me for my transportation...a car is very much appreciated as my reliable transportations.  If someone will give me...it would be a very help for me as a disabled person.  I can't ask anyone, because I don't know anyone who can help me get a free car...all my friends are also poor and others don't work, because of being laid off from work and I don't have any family or relatives that can help me drive to all my important and emergency situations.  thank you whoever you.

Please, you can reach me at (530) 677-5219.  May God bless your heart and your loved ones for helping me.

About In need of a blessing

Hello all,

 My name is LaShawn, I am writing today because I am in need of assistance to help me paying my utility bill and also anyone who can help me to obtain a vehicle so that I may get back on my feet in finding another job. I was laid off last December and have been diligently seeking employment ever since then. I live in memphis, but I have no family here or anyone to help me.   I am on my own and feel so by myself which makes it much harder for me. I have gone through the community services agency before so Im ineligible to receive assistance a second time. My utility bill is 2 months behind and Im facing disconnection, the amount is $312.00. and also, if anyone has an old working vehicle to donate or know of any agencies or places I can get a car, that would be very helpful also. Thank you all in advance. God Bless You.

I got an '88 Saab as a birthday present from my father.  But sadly he passed away.  And soon after I worked on getting the car in my name, it died too.  Now I'm stuck with no money and my mother won't help me get a car.  All of my siblings are broke like me too.  I'm in dire need.  I can't get a job or anything without a car.  And my mom refuses to let me drive her vehicles.  All help is appreciated and somehow reciprocated.  Thank you!

On November 7th, 2008 I lost my job.  My husband had already been laid off in August and this was a complete devastation to us as we have three daughters and a grandchild we are supporting not including our monthly bills.  My husband has a older 1989 pick-up and I have a 2003 Isuszu Rodeo that I owe 3 payments on.  As of now it is broke down with a broken head gasket and we do not have the money to fix it.  I cant pay the payment and all other bills on unemployment and fix the car.  We cant all fit in the truck so we cant even all go to the park, the store or anything together.  I am asking for the help to get it repaired so we will have a family vehicle.  Thank you so much for reading.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is hard for us; due the volatile times, my family had some serious setbacks this year, to include losing our home, due to predatory lending and wrongful termination of my job on
July 7, 2008. Last week I got a new job, but will take to December before funds start coming in a timely manner. My car was total and I am in need of a car, but due to my situation I cannot qualify for credit since to filing bankruptcy. At this time, I am approved for a car loan, but need $2,000.00 for the down payment, which we do not have due to paying expenses to move to our new home.


Your help is very much appreciated. GOD BLESS.

 

Sincerely,

I never used this type of site before so I'm a little nervious. My wife, daughter and I are in the last part of broke there is. I lost my job witch was our main source for income and even then we were living payday to payday. My wife works, but she barly brings in enough to get back and forth to work each day. In order for our situation to get any better I need to find work and where we live is not best location for this. Right now the my main concern is that we have no money to pay our car bill of $250.00. If we loose our car we'll be out in the streets due to the fact that our trasportation will not be there. I have jobs lined up but if I can't get there they won't hold it for me. Please if you have any advice or donations send them to me.

Thank You and God Bless,

Desperate Jeep  

Help of any kind

First I would like to start by saying hello and thanks for viewing my request. I am a young woman who was taken advantage of by a used car salesman. I purchased a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in October of 2004, the dealership HOLMES Motors in Mississippi ensured me I was buying a reliable car. My credit wasn't so great and I was charged the highest interest rate possible 15.9% on a 5 year loan. After doing research after I had already signed the contract, the Kelly Blue Book valued the car at $7500 in October 2004. So now I am stuck with a car payment of $443 a month plus insurance  for 5 years on a car that I can not drive. In February of 2005 the engine went out and I had to take out a  loan for $4500 to get it repaired (I am currently repaying it). Then a couple of months after that I had to get the rotors replaced that was about $300 parts plus labor. Then I had to get the right half shaft axel replace $250. Then the left another $250. After all of this you would think I  would have a reliable ride, but i don't because now there is something wrong with the differential that goes to the transfer case whatever that is which was estimated at  2500 to repair. I need help because I can not trade it in, do not have the money to pay it off so I can be done with it, don't have the money for a down payment to go along with the trade-in for a better car not to mention the not on the better car would be expensive because I would still have to pay the Jeep off but at least I would be paying for something I could drive. This car has exhausted me financially, mentally and physically...I can barely get to work to pay my others bills because this car is draining me.....can someone please help me. I'm really TIRED!!!!
