Hello! I am so sorry to ask for help. I really wish I could do this all myself, but I really need to repair my vehicle. I am a single mother of two, now just one child as my eldest passed away in 2024.

I need to repair a coolant leak in the engine, which has been estimated to be $600 - $900. And all 4 tires need to be changed due to normal wear; that's about $320. I just can't fathom how I can put food in the fridge or make rent for this and next month. Unfortunately, for as much as I work, I am still living paycheck to paycheck.

I was hoping to get the repairs done before the snow and ice hit, but it's here. I just can't see how I can get anywhere near saving the money quickly for the car and still keep us safe and living. So, here I am. And I am so sorry. But I just need some help to be able to get these repairs. The holidays are here too, but my son understands my situation this year.

Thank you for your time, thoughts, and/or prayers in this time. I'm still grieving my daughter, but with the stress, it's hard to think about being sad or taking a moment for my daughter. I have to stay up and keep going. So I am grateful for this opportunity to ask for help.
