I'm a Senior Battling Cancer & Can't Afford to Fix My Car After Someone Vandalized It!

My Story:

Hello, I'm a senior woman in the middle of a long and difficult battle with cancer. Despite my struggles with cancer, I have a very positive outlook on life, and I love helping people, especially my fellow residents at my senior living home.

After retiring and moving into my senior living community, I'm living on an almost entirely fixed income via my retirement benefits, but I am also working part-time when I can. It's always enough to get me through the month, but it's not much more than that, so I'm not able to handle unexpected expenses. During a particularly difficult week in which I had to have surgery for my cancer treatment, someone vandalized my car.

I don't know who would do such a thing or why, and I'm very saddened by the situation because my car is what keeps me independent. Without the use of my vehicle, I'm struggling to keep up hours at my part-time job, and I can't even reliably get groceries. It's been really difficult for me financially, and not having a vehicle has also really impacted my quality of life. As much as I love my senior living community, it's really difficult to feel like I'm isolated there. For those reasons, I'm humbly asking for assistance with having my car repaired.

I do have car insurance, but the deductible is high, and I can't afford to cover that, especially without working as many hours. Truly, I can only just begin to explain the impact that this generous assistance would have on me. With my vehicle in working order again, I can go back to work, and I won't have to worry about scheduling rides to get to and from my cancer treatments. I can't believe that all of this is happening while I'm also battling cancer, and it's been very hard on me, but this support would give me hope again. For that, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my story.
