Need Auto Insurance Help After Employment Gap

My Story:

I am a 37 year old mother of two bright and rambunctious boys. My oldest turned 16 this past March and is starting drivers ed next month. My youngest is 8 and loves school and is looking forward to starting 3rd grade in the fall. My partner is a shop hand for a large steel manufacturing company.

We earn enough to pay for our basic expenses every month, but we tend to live paycheck to paycheck. We have no savings set aside and about a month ago I lost my job due missing too much work in a short amount of time because of my health problems. I have secured a new and exciting job, however I don't start until July. This gap has really put us in a bind. Our auto insurance is due to be renewed and because our most dependable vehicle is financed we must maintain full coverage especially with our 2nd vehicle beginning to experience mechanical problems. This is our family's only dependable transportation, and without it my partner and I would not be able to go to work. We need Modest Needs help with the insurance payment.

This funding will bring our household current with all of our bills again, and restore our sense of stability. I will begin my new position and we will resume our 2 income household restoring some much needed balance. In turn this will give us a chance to pay it forward.
