Help Linzi breathe easy

Hi, my name is Linzi and I want to start this by telling you how much I don't want to be doing this and how much I never thought I would need to.

In 2022 I moved out of a shared house that had become a very unpleasant and difficult situation and I moved in to a home on my own. Since then finances have been tight but I was managing but then the cost of living increase hit and each month, little by little, I was eating into what small savings I had until they were all gone.

Things have been difficult for a while now but in the next few days my car is due it's MOT and, while I don't have all the exact details yet, I know that it needs at least 1, and probably 3, new tyres. Even if they pass the MOT at least 2 of them have slow punctures and need to be replaced. There may also be additional work required to keep it on the road and as a single woman living alone, I can't be without a car.

I'm asking for £600 to cover getting the car through it's MOT, replacing the tyres and anything left over will be used to cover bills to give me some breathing room so I can try and get back to a place where I'm not suffering anxiety every month trying to figure out what I can do without to cover all my bills.

I understand that everyone is struggling right now but any help at all will be so very appreciated.

Thank you for listening.
