Veteran With Many Unexpected Bills Needs Help With Crucial Car Repair

My Story:

I am a totally and permanently disabled and housebound Vietnam Era Air Force veteran who volunteers with assisting fellow veterans in navigating the often difficult and unyielding VA policies, procedures and admissions process. I am a widow of a fellow retired Air Force veteran. I am an active member of my local church (catholic) and have strong religious beliefs. I share a home with my service dog, Max, who provides comfort, utility and companionship. I live off of my VA benefits. I prudently and fastidiously saved for 5 years to purchase my own home last year.

Living on a fixed income does not provide economic cushioning, and large unplanned expenses throw my finances into a negative situation. Within the past few months, I experienced two such events that place me in financial crisis. In August of last year, Max, my prescribed service dog, experienced a crucial ligament tear which was very expensive to treat but without this I would have had to put him down. Now, my homeowners association quarterly dues are past due and I need to catch up with them to keep my home. On top of all of this I am now in need of a car repair and have no means to pay for it. I need Modest Needs help.

I am humbly requesting any form of payment assistance. Your help would provide much needed stress relief during this domino effect on my finances. As I require a functioning vehicle for transportation to and from crucial medical appointments, this repair is essential. Your help would mean so much to me. Thank you.
