My name is Dawn, and I am reaching out for help during a very challenging time. I am an author and I also work as a substitute teacher, and my car is essential for me to get to different schools and assignments. Recently, my car's engine failed, and the cost to replace it is more than I can afford right now—especially since I still owe money on the vehicle. To make things even more difficult, I just had surgery and my recovery is limiting my ability to do much on my own for the next few weeks.

Without a running car, I am unable to work and earn the income I need to pay my bills and support myself. This situation has left me feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward. I am doing my best to stay positive and focus on my recovery, but I know I can't do this alone.

I am asking for your support to help me repair my car so I can get back to work and regain my independence. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean the world to me and help me get through this difficult time. Thank you for supporting me in my time of need.
