Hi everyone I'm going to make this simple as possible - I need help to fix my car situation and I need help fast-I am tired I am exhausted and I am sick of the struggle.. My car which is my livelihood has been ran into the ground and I do not have the means to either fix it or put a deposit down so I can get a new car either way the amount is about the same. That amount at the very minimum is $1500. I recently had to climb out of a really bad housing situation with family and managed to do that and got a brand new apartment but that completely wiped out my savings and this is the worst timing. I have pulled myself up out of so many bad situations and I am finally almost at the point in my life where I am finally out from under anyone else's financial strings and totally in control of my own life. Anyone that has followed my struggle over the years knows how many setbacks I've had . My entire stable situation now is built on me being able to work however and I work A LOT. Right now that job depends on my car because I am a personal shopper and delivery driver.
So the fact remains that I must use my car to work -but every day I use my car right now I am risking catastrophic engine failure which is going to make it that much more difficult for me to get rid of it and get another car not to mention the fact that my credit is terrible and any place I get a car from is going to ask I put money down to approve me . Again -I know what's wrong with my car it has bad cylinder coils and a bad catalytic converter and the fuel pump is going out, it's got a cracked windshield and needs new tires too . I've had repairs priced I've even done some of the repairs myself to save money I just recently changed ignition coil that made my car run OK for about a week and now all the check engine lights are back on and it's throwing the same codes so I know it's the other things that are more of the problem. I cannot afford to have the car fixed- I cannot trade the car in because I'm still a little bit underwater on it so again the $1500 is the amount I have calculated very carefully that I need to either try and fix the car or trade in the car. I am tired of staying awake at night crying myself to sleep because I am so stressed and so worried that I am going to lose this new apartment and my new life that I have fought for almost 3 years to have after all the work I've done . I get up and work at about eight in the morning till about eight or 10 at night almost every day so I can meet my bills right now there's no more time in the day for me to work extra. I know people think that when I put up a go fund me that it's a cop out but you know what I've really had that much strife in my life over the last few years and I'm sorry if that makes anyone uncomfortable- if it does you're free to stop reading this. I am tired of trying to figure out solutions , i'm tired of begging my family to help me I'm tired of trying to figure out ways to get shady loans and I cannot work anymore than I'm already working and every day I work I'm making the problem worse by driving my car -the only solution is to ask you my friends once more if anybody can please help me meet this goal. Every day I don't fix this problem the car is getting worse which makes my situation worse- right now I am facing the possibility of not being able to make my rent again on top of losing my means to work because I'm having to take it easy with my car which means I'm not clocking as many hours as I need at work- I just need to either fix this vehicle or get another used reliable vehicle that I can continue to work in . Then hopefully a year from now my career paths will be changing and I will have a better credit score again and I will be so far from this mess- but I cannot get there unless I solve this last problem. I only bought this car to get out from under and away from a car that I had with another family member that also had a lot of problems I knew this car was not going to be a long time driver I only needed it to last long enough for me to get my financial situation and my housing situation under control unfortunately that's not how the cards have fallen and I have to do something about it now. if I had only had two more months then I I would have been in an entirely different situation because I would've had time to have some savings again but I don't have the luxury of time anymore- and every day I don't work my situation is turning dire- so I must beg you my friends for help again - thank you so much for listening and anything you can give gets me closer to being able to solve this as quickly as possible because time is of the essence. ❤️
