Please help my mother get her car repaired

Donation protected
Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well. Let me start by saying that I am doing this for my mother and as of now she's unaware I'm doing this.
So I am reaching out this Holiday Season in an effort to try to help out my incredible mother, who has always been a beacon of strength and love in so many lives. For those of you who know her, you are already aware of her big heart and kind uplifting spirit. For those who don't I will try to give a brief backstory.

My mom has faced her fair share of challenges. After going through a painful divorce, she found herself with very little. Despite the hardships, she continued to embrace life with a positive attitude and unwavering love for her family, friends, and even for strangers.
Despite the setbacks, my strong mother never complained and worked tirelessly to make ends meet for herself. As well as for other people she could never really afford to help.

Recently she was driving to The Belle to play the calliope when a car turned early and hit her car, and completely totaled it. With the cost of cars these days the insurance would not even come close to getting her a reasonable car. My super kind cousin has donated a car for her to use, but my mom just found out from a mechanic that it has a bad hybrid battery. If you don't know this, the hybrid batteries are unfortunately very expensive.

My mother has been planning to try to find a way to finance the repair but she will unfortunately struggle quite a lot to try to make this happen. She works multiple jobs and does a great deal of work with her church. But with inflation and another monthly payment she will have a very tough time with this added burden.
The battery itself is approximately $3200. And the labor is estimated to be between $500-700. Just crazy to me.

So I am asking in the spirit of the holidays if you or someone you know might be able to make a small donation to help her through this unfortunate turn of events. She does have a lot of friends due to her kind ways and uplifting attitude. So I thought if enough were able to make even a small donation it might add up. And help remove this financial struggle that she did nothing to deserve.
Again, she has no idea I'm doing this but will see it when I post it to her Facebook page. She's very humble and modest and will most likely not share it. If you are in anyway unable to help with a donation maybe you could help by just sharing it.

I know she is grateful for all of you regardless. But I am hoping maybe we can spread some of the joy she shares back to her.

My sincerest thanks for taking the time to read this post. And may you have a happy holiday season and a very happy 2024.
