User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeI just wanted to say thank you for all the help with getting my car fixed. I m really appreciated the help. I have turned to family and friends to help but no one was able to help me. You don't know how much this means to mean to get my car fixed. I am so thankful for all the generosity for you guys helping me out. I can now stop worrying about how I am getting to and from work. I can have that stress off of my shoulders. I did not know what I was going to do. Thank you all for the help. Thank you very much for everyone that help me.



Car Broke Down: Single Worker Needs Urgent Repair Help

My Story:

I am a single woman with a full-time job. I earn enough to pay for my basic needs, but live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford any major added expenses.

My car recently broke down, and needs an engine repair to get back on the road. This is my transportation to work, and I am really worried I will lose my job if I can't fix my car ASAP.

I am asking for Modest Needs' help to pay for the repairs I need to get my car working again. I am in a financial bind where paying for these repairs will leave me unable to pay my rent, and I would face homelessness. On the other hand, not getting my car fixed leaves me in danger of losing my job. The public transportation options are extremely limited between my residence and workplace, and it is overwhelming to be without my car at this time.

Your help will have a lasting impact on me financially, by allowing me to get to my job every day, and continue supporting myself. This would relieve me of the worry I've been feeling over my situation, and make me so happy.
