Help a Caregiver Get Back on the Road

A sudden, unexpected breakdown has left my only vehicle—a 20-year-old car—undrivable and in the repair shop, and I am reaching out for help with the steep repair bill.

I am the primary caregiver and transportation provider for a senior family member who just underwent multiple heart procedures this month. My car is not a luxury; it is a lifeline that is absolutely essential for getting them to follow-up doctor appointments, physical therapy, and for me to continue checking on them across town.

I am currently facing a major repair bill of approximately $3,200 to get my car running safely again.

The mechanic has diagnosed the following urgent repairs:

1. Broken Power Steering Pump

2. Leaking Power Steering Pressure Hoses

3. Two Clogged Filters

I need this car to be safe and completely reliable to ensure my family member's well-being and that I can get to my own appointments.

I have already been struggling with an ongoing and increasing financial burden. I am providing additional financial support to my parent and still recovering from a huge medical/vet bill from earlier this year when my dog underwent emergency surgery.

I am not eligible for any loans and am truly challenged to cover this unexpected expense. I am desperately trying to avoid having to charge this entire cost to multiple high-interest credit cards, which would create a deeper, longer-term financial setback.

Every dollar will ensure: My car is safe, reliable transportation for urgent medical care, and that I can continue to be a consistent caregiver for my family member during their crucial recovery period and future. Every single donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward paying for these critical, non-negotiable car repairs to get my primary care responsibilities back on track.

If we are fortunate enough to exceed the goal, any additional funds will be applied to the remaining $1,000+ debt from my dog's emergency surgery earlier this year.

I deeply appreciate you taking the time to read my story. If you cannot donate, simply sharing this campaign with your network would be an enormous help.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for helping me with this unexpected and extremely costly car repair.
