Hello, friends, I found out yesterday that my car repair will cost $2,200. I just can't afford that on my limited income. We are already so close to the edge financially, so I feel I have nowhere else to turn.

I need help, and - as dear Dawn Wicca once said to me: "My begging bowl is out." Anything helps: $5, $10, 2 quarters, even.

Thanks, even for reading this.
