Support Jen's Essential Car Repairs

Hello everyone,

My name is Jen, and I’m reaching out to you during a challenging time. I work full-time to support myself and my family, but unexpected car troubles have placed a significant financial burden on me.

Recently, I invested over $900 into essential repairs for my car, which I’m still financing. Unfortunately, new issues have arisen, and multiple mechanics have recommended that I take it to the dealership for further diagnosis. The dealership estimates the repair costs to be between $1,000 and $1,500, with an additional $200 fee just to assess the problem. This means I could be without my car for about a week.

I’m aiming to schedule an appointment for the first week of March. This timeline will allow me to save as much as possible on my own and accumulate some paid time off at work, potentially reducing the need for a rental car during the repair period.

Being without a car severely affects my ability to commute to work and manage daily responsibilities. I rely on my vehicle to maintain my employment and meet other obligations. The prospect of affording these repairs, along with the potential need for a rental car during the downtime, is overwhelming.

I’ve explored various options, but my current financial situation leaves me with limited choices. My credit isn’t strong enough to secure a new card, and my existing one doesn’t have sufficient available credit to cover these unexpected expenses. After careful consideration, I’ve decided to reach out to my community for support.

I’m humbly asking for any assistance you can provide to help me cover the repair costs and, if possible, contribute towards a rental car to ensure I can continue working during this period. Your generosity will directly impact my ability to maintain my livelihood and stability.

I understand that there may be transaction fees associated with GoFundMe. If you prefer to donate directly to me to avoid these fees, you can do so via Cash App: $jenmullins17.

Any funds raised will go directly towards the car repairs and rental car expenses. Should there be any surplus beyond these needs, it will be allocated to essential daily expenses such as bills and groceries.

I understand that times are tough for many, and any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to me. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others would also be a tremendous help. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer.

With gratitude,

Jen Mullins
