My name is Izzy, and I rely on my car every day to make a living through delivery gig work. Recently, after changing my brakes myself for the first time in years, I started hearing a grinding noise. I spent weeks trying to figure out what went wrong, only to discover that the real issue was a failing wheel bearing. Now, my car is unsafe to drive, and I’m unable to work until it’s repaired.

This couldn’t have come at a worse time. It’s the beginning of the month, which means rent is due, and I have three roommates who are counting on me to pay my share. Without my car, I can’t earn the money I need for rent or other essential bills. I’ve received an estimate for the repair, and it’s more than I can afford right now. I’m reaching out for help so I can get my car fixed quickly and get back on the road to support myself and my roommates.

Any support will go directly toward the car repair, helping me get back to work and ensuring I can meet my responsibilities at home. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can offer.
