My sister's car broke down, urgent need

Donation protected
EDIT: Lowered the goal from $6000 to $2000 because we somehow found a way to get the current broken car repaired.

This is my younger sister. I adore her and I would do anything for her. Ordinarily neither I nor my sister would ask for crowdfunding for a financial issue, but she and I are both in a situation where we have no choice at this point but to ask for help.

She has scrimped and saved and used every penny on making sure that she and my niece have a home, a vehicle, heat, and healthy food to eat. She just bought a small trailer for them a couple years ago. Recently, COVID made it impossible for her to do her last job safely, so she has just found other employment. Now, her car just died. It is completely unrepairable. She was planning on looking for a second job to help make ends meet, but she can't because of the car issue.

Food and housing (she's still paying off the trailer) are at issue without being able to get to and from work with reliable transportation. Her current employment itself is in jeopardy. She lives in a rural area without a bus route and there are no real alternatives.

Her mental health has not been doing well through all of this. She has been skipping out on meals to conserve what they have available. She has been canceling doctors’ appointments because she cannot afford to go. She can’t take care of her daughter if she cannot take care of herself. She needs a vehicle to get her life moving again.

My sister is the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back to keep you warm. She has always been there for me. We always look out for each other and the people we care about and know are in need. Now we are the ones in need.

She already has a car in mind. It is the most economical one available that will also be reliable and safe enough for her and her daughter. The amount we are asking will cover the cost of the car and some of the fees to get it on the road. Thank you deeply for anything you can do to help. If you can’t help, thank you for reading all of this, and we hope you will share this page if you can. Our family gives you the most sincere thanks for considering helping us out.
