Hello! My name is Rylee Foreman and I am a senior at Iowa State University. I am currently working as much as I can with my classes, which includes holding several part-time jobs due to my availability.

To get to class, work, and to visit family, I use my 2010 Subaru Forester that I've had for a few years. As of April 2026, it had to go under maintenance and I need help to repair my vehicle. I've listed below everything I've had to fix so far.

You may be asking yourself: Why not buy a new car? Unfortunately, as much as I love this idea, I cannot afford a new vehicle. On top of this issue, I need this car to assist me to move in July. If you are able and willing, please consider helping me out.
