Help Dani Pay for Her Car Misfortunes (Kia Boyz Suck)

Hi y’all my name is Dani, I’m a bartender in Austin TX heading into the thick of slow season, and I drive a Kia Soul that was stolen from in front of my home for a second time (yes, you read that right) last month. Fortunately, it has been recovered mostly intact and is in the body shop for repairs. A series of car misfortunes had already left me with over $1,000 in car-related expenses every month prior to this incident. I am seeking help with my current and upcoming car costs. Principally, I am asking for help with the $1K deductible to get my car out of the shop, but I am also in need of help with the remaining balance of a predatory loan ($2.5K and growing) whose terms I had to accept to pay for mechanical work last December to get my car running after it was stolen and recovered the first time.

Your donation goes directly to getting my car out of the shop, as well as to paying off the remaining balance on an initial loan of 3K which despite 1 year of regular biweekly $186 payments totaling over $4.6K, remains at $2.5K owed and is quickly compounding interest. This means I've paid over $4.1K in interest to a financial institution this year while only chipping off $500 from my original loan. Paying off this debt now will greatly improve financial strain month to month that is likely to otherwise continue for years and cost me many, many more thousands of dollars Immensely grateful for your help in any way!!
