Support For Pet Sitting Business

Hello! My name is Ali and I've been running my own pet sitting business in Watertown and surrounding areas for a little over a year now. I love doing this and having the chance to work with so many families and their pets, but all of the traveling puts a lot of wear and tear on my car. I had to purchase new tires due to not being able to get around at all even with just a tiny bit of snow on the roads. A bunch of other car expenses came up and I was worried I'd have to stop my business all together in fear that the cost for keeping my car up and running is outweighing what I make from the pet sitting. I recently had a bill for $700 to cover everything I had to have done to my car, I was able to pay a little under half of it up front, but I'm now in debt $400 plus the other car bills that are due every month. I know it doesn't sound like much, but every month is a struggle trying to keep up with my car payment, insurance, cost of gas for all the traveling, and now I have this hanging over my head as well. It feels like I'm only working to pay for my car now. I rarely have anything extra left over, especially now during Christmas time. I'm barely able to afford anything and I feel like a bum. I'm never one to ask for help when it comes to money, but people who I've worked for love me a lot and I don't want to have to end this to get a normal job. Don't like to talk about it but I have bad anxiety problems that make it almost impossible for me to feel like I can get a normal job. I had one years ago and it was horrible, I'm just not good at it and I feel like being a pet sitter is what's meant for me. I'm only asking for a little bit of help to at least pull me out of the debt that I'm currently in. All of my pay has been going directly to my car, there's never a day that goes by that I'm not constantly worried about how I'm gonna be able to make enough to pay everything off every month. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, and if you're interested, my business name is AMH Pet Sitting. I always try to go above and beyond for all my clients, I don't want to have to put an end to my business just because of this. Thank you for reading. :)
