Hi, my name is AJ and since the pandemic I've been really struggling to get caught up on my debts and have been living paycheck to paycheck. The food I consume most days is ramen (cheap). I'm not sure how I'm gonna afford my medication this month and now I'm struggling with getting funding to fix my car. I found out today that because it's a transmission problem they are charging me over $2,000. I don't have any ill will towards them as they have been extremely kind and understanding and this was the discounted amount (I will be saving over $200). I never ask for help but I'm truly running out of options. I'm paid just above minimum wage so that I don't qualify for any federal help, I've been turned down by a few loans because I've hit the ceiling for my debt to income ratio (maxed out my credit cards), the job market is crap, and everything is just so expensive right now. Please please help me if you can. I know I'm a stranger but I'm really hoping that enough strangers will help me so I can have a working car that I can use to get by.
