Application Details

Truck Repair | Cost to fully fund this application: 1,060.00 Modest Needs Points

The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.

We are desperately in need of a truck repair. Our truck had to be towed to the local garage. The problem that we are facing is that my husband was getting a ride with a co-worker so that was ok for us. His coworker was just recently fired, which is what has put us in this bind.

My husband is going to lose his job as well if he doesn't get the truck fixed. The company he works has a disciplinary point system and my husband already has one point against him for having transportation issues.

We has already paid a small amount towards the bill, but are having difficulty doing much more as we are currently undergoing a legal battle over our home. We had a rent-to-own contract and once we paid it off, the landlord decided to double the price. Our court date is set for December 19. This is already going to make our Christmas rough, so we're hoping we don't have unemployment to go with it. Thank you so much for all that you do. We truly appreciate it.
