Hi my name is Shanae Asia. After many struggles..i have four girls and a husband. I introduced him to the thought of joining the post office thinking if we both held government jobs we would be able to conquer our financial struggles. Boy was I wrong..my in home babysitter/ mother moved out giving us a couple of days notice. We had to take days off of work to make it to payday to be able to put or then 4 year old in daycare and our then 5 year old in after-school care. We doubled our mortgage with that alone. Once our car got repoed we ubered and lyft back and forth to work. I picked up a sexond job working nights at racetrac and heading straight to the post office after i got off of my night shift. No shower, no sleep, just a uniform and motivation to pay bills. After being able to save up for a down payment on a nissan sentra that was 2 years older than my repod car we was able to carpool to work..we live in carrollton so that means an hour and a half drive to smyrna every morning for me to drop my husband off, then i would drive 45 minutes to dallas to start my shift. Get off by the skin of my teeth in enough time to drive 45 minutes back to carrollton to pick up my two younger babies..love on them for 15 minutes and head back to smyrna to pick up my husband. My days were literally starting at 4 am and ending anywhere between midnight and 1 am. Recently we got and advance on our taxes and i thought it was time to get a second vehicles. We went to an auto broker off my route. Since he saw me everyday because i delievered his mail he promised he could get us in a vehicle. I thought approval was all i had to worry about since my husband and i's credit wasnt great at ALL! Well he got us in a vehicle February 8th and the motor blew in 2 weeks. With me understanding the situation we were in buying a vehicle "as is" i hand the car towed to him anyway. The next day on my route I reasoned with him that I understood that we bought the vehicle as is but we literally put all we had on the down payment. He seemed sincere and said he didn't want to do business like that and said he could help with repairs but couldnt pay the total cost and i would have to go half with him.. i should have walked away but my husband was inlove with the truck so i said okay ill figure out the cost. Here I am with no vehicle and a balance for a new motor. The truck is still not 100% fixed but still I am asked to produce 1840 before I can take my truck not 100 % fixed but drivable. That I was even okay with but when I asked if I could pay in installments he was not having it. He started listing everything he has done and things he hasn't even charged me for and regretting even selling the truck to us. I was floored...I get its a business and feels ge has lost money but its April 9th as I write this and we drove off with the truck on February 8th. It broke down two weeks later and the money that we have had to spend out of our budget just to get back in fourth to work is crazy!. We have rented a rental twice..taken lyfts and ubers..my husband was out of work for two weeks..I was out for a week. It seems like we have all lost but we can't lose our postal jobs because we have no transportation. We would be screwed!! Plus I have a 18 yr old graduating in May. I haven't paid for a plethora or her senior items! Cap and gown, diploma, senior dues!! I'm freaking out. My mortgage payment is late..phone bill due..electric..water..car insurance canceled on April 5th..I owe friends I asked to borrow money from just to feed my kids..we are hurting really bad and we just need a blessing
