Need Help Catching Up with Car Payments due to Medical Leave from Work

My Story:

I am a single young woman, living alone. I work full-time for a theme park, and am an aspiring chef. I earn just enough to afford basic necessities, and have no savings for emergencies.

I recently was injured and could not perform some of the physical requirements of my job. My employer was unable to accommodate the medical restrictions my doctor ordered, so I had to take leave from my job until I am cleared to physically able to perform my job duties again. Although I will be returning to work in a week or so, the loss of pay has put me in a financial bind.

I am asking for Modest Needs' help to catch up with my car payment. I am very worried that if I do not pay the late balance on my car, I will face repossession soon. Losing my car would turn my already challenging situation into a serious struggle by leaving me with no way of going to work to support myself.

Your assistance will allow me to keep my job and maintain a stable lifestyle. It would mean a lot to me to know that strangers reached out to me during my time of need, and prevented me from losing the most important thing I own. On a personal level, this would give me a renewed sense of hope and bring up my morale. Thank you.
